Overview
- Kubfu can now evolve into Single Strike or Rapid Strike Urshifu, each with unique battle advantages and trade-offs.
- To evolve Kubfu, players must set it as their buddy and defeat 30 Dark-type Pokémon for Single Strike or 30 Water-type Pokémon for Rapid Strike in raids or Max Battles.
- Evolving Kubfu into either form requires 200 Kubfu Candy, which can be earned through gameplay or special research tasks.
- Community consensus and expert analysis suggest Single Strike Style, a Fighting and Dark-type Pokémon, is the stronger option for both PvP and PvE scenarios.
- Gigantamax variants of both Urshifu styles are expected in future events, though details on their release remain unconfirmed.
