  • One Incense
  • Two Premium Battle Passes
  • One Star Piece
  • Encounters with Season-themed Pokémon
  • A rare encounter with a Dynamax Kubfu

The "Fuzzy Fighter" pass is available until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. Note that the tasks themselves remain available 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 future updates might change that, especially considering Kubfu's evolution is featured in the event's loading screen.
