The Might and Mastery season is set to conclude with an explosive finale, the Final Strike: Go Battle Week, running from May 21st to 27th. This thrilling event will showcase the much-anticipated debut of Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp, promising a week packed with new encounters, evolutions, and enticing bonuses for players eager to reach the pinnacle of their gaming prowess.

A highlight of the event is the opportunity to evolve your Kubfu into Urshifu. To do so, you'll need 200 Kubfu Candy and to strategically defeat either 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. Whether you're aiming for Single Strike or Rapid Strike Urshifu, the choice is yours, adding a personal touch to your journey.

The event features a free Special Research that continues the Might and Mastery storyline, offering additional Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounters with themed Pokémon like Charcadet, complete with a Special Background. You'll also have the chance to evolve classic battle favorites such as Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into Pokémon with exclusive attacks, enriching your roster.
