Which one should you evolve your Kubfu into? How do you even evolve the Kubfu to begin with?<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We\u2019re here with the answers. Since the Kubfu can only Dynamax (not Gigantamax), the choice is pretty clear, based on what\u2019s available in-game right now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Below we explain how to evolve Kubfu into Urshifu in <em>Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> and which of the two forms (Single Strike or Rapid Strike) you may want to pick, if you only have one.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">How to evolve Kubfu into Urshifu in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Depending on which version of Urshifu you want, you\u2019ll need to complete a slightly different task. No matter which one you want, you will need to <strong>set Kubfu as your buddy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For <strong>Single Strike Urshifu<\/strong>, you\u2019ll need to <strong>defeat 30 dark-type Pok\u00e9mon in raids or max battles<\/strong> with Kubfu as your buddy.<\/li>\n<li>For <strong>Rapid Strike Urshifu<\/strong>, you\u2019ll need to <strong>defeat 30 water-type Pok\u00e9mon in raids or max battles<\/strong> with Kubfu as your buddy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Kubfu does not need to be used in these battles, just set as your buddy. (It\u2019s the same kind of thing as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-go-guide\/598669\/evolve-bisharp-into-kingambit-buddy-pawniard\">Bisharp\/Kingambit<\/a>, though this counts max battles, too.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Once you meet that requirement, you can use 200 Kubfu Candy to evolve your little bear into a big bear.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">Should you pick Single Strike or Rapid Strike Urshifu?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The general consensus is that the <strong>Single Strike (dark-type) form is the better of the two forms across the board<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For PvP, Silph Road expert JRE47 gets into the nitty gritty <a href=\"https:\/\/old.reddit.com\/r\/TheSilphRoad\/comments\/1kro31p\/a_pvp_analysis_on_both_forms_of_urshifu_this_is_a\/\">in his own post<\/a>, but notes that Single Strike is the correct choice among the two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As for PvE content, the main lens to look at Urshifu through is aimed at Max Battles. Both versions of Dynamax Urshifu have their faults \u2014 Single Strike (dark) is technically outclassed by Gengar, and Rapid Strike (water) is outclassed by Inteleon. Both of these are also not great fighting-types when compared to Gigantamax Machamp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That being said, there\u2019s just not many dark-type Max Battle attackers around right now, so Single Strike is probably the better choice. (For water-types, you have Kingler, Blastoise, and Inteleon, so\u2026)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As of this writing, we don\u2019t know how Gigantamax Urshifu is going to roll out. Will it be another research? A raid day event? But we\u2019ll tackle that bridge when we get there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can also totally just pick which one you like better. In the image below, <strong>Single Strike Urshifu is on the left and Rapid Strike Urshifu is on the right<\/strong>. They have few differences outside of their stance.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/how-to-evolve-kubfu-into-urshifu-in-pokemon-go-should-you-pick-single-or-rapid-strike-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">How to get more Kubfu in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As of writing this, there\u2019s only two ways to get Kubfu (so you can technically have two, and thus one of each type of Ushifu).<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete the first step of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-go-guide\/533647\/might-and-mastery-special-research-kubfu\">\u201cMight and Mastery\u201d seasonal Special Research<\/a>.

Though keep in mind that like we mentioned above, Gigantamax versions of Urshifu will likely debut in the game at some point. We don\u2019t know how or when, but seeing as the Kubfu we got is Dynamax and <em>not<\/em> Gigantamax, you\u2019ll be able to get both big bears at some point (and a stronger version of them, at that) in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-go-guide\/600294\/evolve-kubfu-dynamax-urshifu-single-rapid-strike\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok\u00e9mon Go players can now evolve Kubfu into Urshifu, but the big fighting bear has two forms: Single Strike and Rapid Strike.
