The Might and Mastery season in Pokémon GO is drawing to a close, and the final week of the season, dubbed Final Strike: GO Battle Week, is set to begin on May 21st, 2025, and will run until May 27th. This climactic week is your chance to bring your Kubfu to full circle by evolving it into the legendary Urshifu in two distinct forms: Single Strike and Rapid Strike.

During the Final Strike: GO Battle Week, to evolve Kubfu into the Single Strike style, ensure Kubfu is your buddy and defeat 30 Dark-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles. For the Rapid Strike style, follow the same steps but target 30 Water-type Pokémon instead. This week offers a thrilling opportunity to master both styles depending on your battle strategy.

Additionally, a Special Research will be available, continuing the ongoing Seasonal storyline. This research, accessible until June 3rd, 2025, rewards you with Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounters with themed Pokémon like Charcadet, complete with a Special Background, enhancing your collection and gameplay experience.

May 25th Is a Special Day

Mark your calendars for May 25th, as it's the Gigantamax Machamp Max Battle Day. From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, you can participate in six-star Max Battles featuring the debut of Gigantamax Machamp. During this event, several bonuses are in play to enhance your experience.

You'll only need to travel one-fourth the usual distance to earn Max Particles, and the storage cap for Max Particles will increase to 1,600. All Power Spots will host Gigantamax Battles, and you'll earn 8× Max Particles from them during this window, along with the opportunity for two extra Special Trades.

Don't miss out on collecting Max Mushrooms, which temporarily double the damage of your Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon. You can use multiple mushrooms to extend the duration, though the power boost remains constant.

Gear up for the Final Strike: GO Battle Week by downloading Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store and prepare to evolve your Kubfu into the powerful Urshifu. Stay tuned for our next news on Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra's Ultimate Madoka Fate Weave.
