"Urshifu Debuts in Pokémon GO's Final Strike: GO Battle Week with Gigantamax Machamp"

As the Might and Mastery season in Pokémon GO draws to a close, the final week, dubbed Final Strike: GO Battle Week, is set to kick off on May 21st, 2025, and will run until May 27th. This exciting week promises to bring your Kubfu journey to a thrilling conclusion.

What’s in Store during the Final Strike: GO Battle Week?

After weeks of dedication and effort, it's time to evolve your Kubfu into the legendary Urshifu, available in two distinct forms. Depending on your battling style, you can unlock either the Single Strike or Rapid Strike style of Urshifu. To achieve the Single Strike form, ensure Kubfu is your buddy and defeat 30 Dark-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles. For the Rapid Strike form during Final Strike: GO Battle Week, follow the same steps but target 30 Water-type Pokémon instead.

Additionally, a Special Research storyline continues to unfold during this period. Available until June 3rd, 2025, this research offers Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounters with themed Pokémon like Charcadet featuring a Special Background.

May 25th Is a Special Day

Mark your calendars for May 25th, as it's the Gigantamax Machamp Max Battle Day. From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, you'll have the chance to encounter Gigantamax Machamp in six-star Max Battles for the first time. This event comes with several enticing bonuses.

During the event, you'll need to travel only one-fourth the usual distance to earn Max Particles. The storage limit for Max Particles will increase to 1,600, and all Power Spots will host Gigantamax Battles. Furthermore, you'll earn 8× Max Particles from these battles and gain the opportunity to make two extra Special Trades.

Don't miss out on collecting Max Mushrooms, which temporarily double the damage output of your Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon. You can use multiple mushrooms to extend the duration, though the power boost remains consistent.
