Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokémon GO?
Want more than one Kubfu? The paid "Fuzzy Fighter" Special Research pass ($8) offers more tasks and a chance to catch a second Kubfu, plus these additional rewards:
- One Incense
- Two Premium Battle Passes
- One Star Piece
- Encounters with season-themed Pokémon
- A rare Dynamax Kubfu encounter
This pass is available until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. The tasks themselves will remain accessible after purchase.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokémon GO?
While Kubfu is undeniably cute, competitive trainers will want to know about its evolution, Urshifu. Currently, evolution isn't possible, but given Urshifu's presence on the event loading screen, future updates seem likely.
