Pokémon GO Battle Week Debuts Urshifu & Gigantamax Machamp

Pokémon GO's Might and Mastery season is wrapping up with Final Strike: GO Battle Week, launching May 21st and running through May 27th, 2025. This climactic event marks your Kubfu's ultimate evolution opportunity.

Final Strike: GO Battle Week Highlights

After weeks of training, transform your loyal Kubfu into the legendary Urshifu - available in two distinct battle styles. Your combat choices determine whether you unlock the powerful Single Strike form or the agile Rapid Strike version.

For Single Strike Urshifu, keep Kubfu as your buddy and defeat 30 Dark-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles. Alternatively, conquer 30 Water-types during Final Strike: GO Battle Week to earn the Rapid Strike evolution.

A limited-time Special Research continues the seasonal narrative until June 3rd, 2025, rewarding trainers with Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounters with exclusive Pokémon like Charcadet featuring special backgrounds.

Gigantamax Machamp Max Battle Day - May 25th

Mark your calendars for Gigantamax Machamp's debut in six-star Max Battles from 2:00 - 5:00 PM local time. This special event comes with boosted benefits:

• Earn Max Particles at 1/4 the normal walking distance
• Increased Max Particle storage capacity (up to 1,600)
• All Power Spots featuring Gigantamax Battles
• 8× Max Particle rewards during event hours
• Two additional Special Trades permitted

Don't miss collecting Max Mushrooms - they temporarily double your Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon's attack power. While stacking extends the duration, the damage multiplier remains constant.
