This season is ending with a bang, culminating in the thrilling Go Battle Week from May 21st to 27th. The Final Strike event promises an explosive finale to the Might and Mastery season, featuring the much-anticipated debut of Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp. This week-long event is your last chance to make significant strides toward mastery, offering a plethora of new encounters, evolutions, and bonuses that will elevate your gameplay experience.

For those ready to evolve their Kubfu into Urshifu, gather 200 Kubfu Candy and strategize your approach. Whether you're aiming for the Single Strike or Rapid Strike form, you'll need to defeat 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. Choose wisely to suit your battling style.

The event includes free Special Research that continues the Might and Mastery narrative, rewarding you with additional Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and themed encounters such as 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 lineup.
