Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp Debut to End Pokémon Go's Might and Mastery Season
The Might and Mastery season is set to conclude with an explosive finale: Go Battle Week, taking place from May 21st to 27th. This event promises to be a thrilling culmination, featuring the much-anticipated debut of Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp. It's your final chance to leverage your skills and progress, with a lineup packed full of new encounters, evolutions, and exciting bonuses.
During Go Battle Week, you can evolve your Kubfu into Urshifu, a process that requires 200 Kubfu Candy and strategic gameplay. To achieve this, you'll need to defeat 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. Choose your path wisely, as you can evolve Kubfu into either Single Strike or Rapid Strike Urshifu.
The event's free Special Research continues the Might and Mastery storyline, providing additional Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounters with themed Pokémon like Charcadet, which comes with a Special Background. You'll also have opportunities to evolve favorites like Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into Pokémon with exclusive attacks, enhancing your battle roster.

For those looking for more premium experiences, there are two options available. The $1.99 Timed Research package includes two Premium Battle Passes, Lucky Eggs, and more themed Pokémon encounters. The $7.99 Fuzzy Fighter Special Research lets you reunite with Dynamax Kubfu, offering extra items and season-themed encounters. Both options are available until the end of the event, and you can also purchase the Fuzzy Fighter Ultra Ticket Box at the Pokémon Go Web Store.
The excitement reaches its peak on Sunday, May 25th, with Gigantamax Machamp's six-star debut during Gigantamax Max Battle Day. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm, every Power Spot will host Gigantamax Battles with enhanced Max Particle rewards and an increased collection cap. Don't forget to use *Pokémon Go codes* for additional freebies to enhance your experience!
For Max Battle Day, you can purchase a $4.99 event ticket that includes exclusive Timed Research, offering 25,000 XP, one Max Mushroom, and significant Max Battle boosts. Leading up to the event, Timed Research will also guide you to encounter a Dynamax Beldum, a strategic advantage against Machamp.
