All Pokémon debuts in Might and Mastery

The new season kicked off by introducing Kubfu to the roster. You can complete all tasks in the free Special Research for a Kubfu encounter in the wilds. Urshifu, its evolved form, has also been introduced with Might and Mastery. Urshifu will have both the Single Strike and Rapid Strike styles; you can unlock them through Dynamax.

Alongside Kubfu, there’s a chance to encounter a Shiny Charcadet if you’re lucky enough! More Pokémon from the Galar region (featured in Pokémon Sword and Shield), including Nickit and Thievul, will be added.

Gigantamax Machamp will also debut this season. Machamp can achieve this form from 6-star Max Battles.

Special Research

There will be a total of five Special Researches throughout the Might and Mastery season. At the time of writing, only two parts have been unlocked. We will update the section when more of them appear in-game.
