The Might and Mastery season is set to conclude with an explosive finale during the Go Battle Week, scheduled from May 21st to 27th. This event promises an exciting lineup, featuring the much-anticipated debut of Urshifu and the formidable Gigantamax Machamp. As the season draws to a close, players can look forward to a thrilling array of new encounters, evolutions, and bonus opportunities, marking the ultimate push toward mastery.

Now's your chance to evolve your Kubfu into Urshifu. You'll need 200 Kubfu Candy and a strategic approach. Choose your path by defeating 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. Whether you aim for the Single Strike or Rapid Strike form of Urshifu, the choice is yours.

The event includes a free Special Research that continues the Might and Mastery narrative, offering additional Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounters with themed Pokémon like Charcadet, complete with a Special Background. You'll also have opportunities to evolve favorites such as Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into versions with exclusive attacks.
