This season is set to conclude with an explosive finale, featuring the highly anticipated Go Battle Week from May 21st to 27th. The event, titled The Final Strike, will cap off the Might and Mastery season with a thrilling lineup, including the debut of Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp. It's the perfect opportunity to showcase your skills and reap the rewards of your dedication with exciting new encounters, evolutions, and bonuses.

Your journey with Kubfu reaches its pinnacle as you can now evolve it into Urshifu. To do so, you'll need to gather 200 Kubfu Candy and strategically defeat 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles while Kubfu is your buddy. Choose between the Single Strike and Rapid Strike styles of Urshifu, tailoring your choice to your preferred battle strategy.

The event features a free Special Research that furthers the Might and Mastery narrative, rewarding you with more Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and themed encounters like Charcadet with a Special Background. You'll also have the chance to evolve classic battle favorites such as Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into Pokémon boasting exclusive attacks.
