Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp Debut in Pokémon Go's Might and Mastery Season Finale

This season is set to conclude with an explosive finale as Go Battle Week takes center stage from May 21st to 27th. The Final Strike event will not only cap off the Might and Mastery season but will introduce the much-anticipated Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp, providing players with a thrilling lineup of new encounters, evolutions, and bonuses to celebrate their progress.

Evolving your Kubfu into Urshifu is now within reach, requiring 200 Kubfu Candy and some strategic gameplay. Choose your preferred style by defeating 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.

The event includes a free Special Research that continues the Might and Mastery storyline, rewarding you with Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and unique encounters like Charcadet with a Special Background. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to evolve familiar fighters such as Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into Pokémon with exclusive attacks.

For those looking to enhance their experience, premium options are available. The $1.99 Timed Research offers two Premium Battle Passes, Lucky Eggs, and additional themed Pokémon. Meanwhile, the $7.99 Fuzzy Fighter Special Research lets you reconnect with Dynamax Kubfu, complete with extra items and season-themed encounters. Both are available until the event concludes, along with the Fuzzy Fighter Ultra Ticket Box at the Pokémon Go Web Store.

The climax of the season arrives on Sunday, May 25th, with the six-star debut of Gigantamax Machamp. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm, every Power Spot will host Gigantamax Battles, offering increased Max Particle rewards and a higher collection cap. Don't forget to redeem those Pokémon Go codes for additional freebies!

Secure your spot for the Max Battle Day with the $4.99 event ticket, which includes an exclusive Timed Research boasting 25,000 XP, one Max Mushroom, and significant Max Battle boosts. Leading up to the event, Timed Research will guide you to encounter a Dynamax Beldum, an excellent counter against Machamp.
