This season is ending with a bang as the Final Strike: Go Battle Week takes center stage from May 21st to 27th, culminating in the Might and Mastery season. This event promises an explosive finale with the introduction of Urshifu and the formidable Gigantamax Machamp, offering players a final surge towards mastery with new encounters, evolutions, and exciting bonuses.

The spotlight is on your Kubfu, which can evolve into Urshifu during this event. You'll need 200 Kubfu Candy and to defeat 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. Whether you choose the Single Strike or Rapid Strike style, the choice is yours, adding a strategic layer to your gameplay.

The event's free Special Research continues the Might and Mastery saga, rewarding you with additional Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and themed encounters, including Charcadet with a Special Background. You'll also have the opportunity to evolve classic battle favorites like Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into Pokémon with exclusive attacks, enhancing your battle roster.
