Authore: JonathanUpdate:May 25,2025

The Might and Mastery season is set to conclude with an explosive finale, the Go Battle Week, running from May 21st to 27th. This event promises an unforgettable experience, highlighted by the introduction of Urshifu and the debut of Gigantamax Machamp. It's the ultimate showdown where your dedication will be rewarded with exciting new encounters, evolutions, and bonuses.

During Go Battle Week, you'll have the chance to evolve your Kubfu into Urshifu. To achieve this, you'll need 200 Kubfu Candy and to strategically defeat 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles while Kubfu is your buddy. Whether you're aiming for the Single Strike or Rapid Strike style of Urshifu, the choice is yours.

The event includes free Special Research that continues the Might and Mastery storyline. This research will help you gather more Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounter Pokémon like Charcadet with a Special Background. You'll also have opportunities to evolve fan-favorite battle-ready Pokémon such as Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into versions with exclusive attacks.

Both are available until the end of the event, along with the Fuzzy Fighter Ultra Ticket Box at the Pokémon Go Web Store.

The climax of the event arrives on Sunday, May 25th, with the Gigantamax Max Battle Day featuring the six-star debut of Gigantamax Machamp.
