The upcoming season for Pokemon Go, titled Might and Mastery, is set to commence with the Powerful Potential event. This event promises to introduce the Legendary creature Kubfu into the game, as well as mark the first appearance of Shiny Charcadet, along with additional surprises.
The current season for Pokemon Go, titled “Might and Mastery,” is centered around the Fighting-type Pokemons, with numerous events showcasing these Pokemons throughout its duration of three months.
It has been verified that Machamp will gain its Gigantamax form soon. Until then, players can engage in capturing Legendary Kubfu and its two forms, Urshifu, during the Powerful Potential event. This event also introduces Shiny Charcadet and reintroduces the Gigantamax Kanto starters to Niantic’s game.
Machamp’s Gigantamax version has officially been revealed, but players must wait for it. In the meantime, they can participate in catching Legendary Kubfu and its two forms, Urshifu, during the Powerful Potential event. This event also includes Shiny Charcadet and brings back the Gigantamax Kanto starters to Niantic’s game.

Kubfu & Shiny Charcadet debut
As an enthusiastic fan, I’m thrilled to share that the highlight of Powerful Potential’s main event is my personal anticipation for the grand entrance of the Wushu Pokémon, the Legendary Kubfu! This extraordinary creature can be mine by embarking on a captivating Special Research story.
Players who wish to enroll Kubfu and transform it into either the Single Strike Urshifu or Rapid Strike Urshifu have ample opportunity, along with the extra perk of receiving special event rewards and additional unique content during this period.
In the exciting world of Pokemon Go, Shiny Charcadet will make its first appearance! This adorable character can be obtained from various types of Eggs. Moreover, if you accumulate enough Candy, you’ll have a chance to evolve your Charcadet into either Shiny Armarouge or Shiny Ceruledge!
Might and Mastery Special Research
During the Pokemon Go Powerful Potention event, a fresh, complimentary Special Research story is set to debut, allowing players to meet and learn about the new Pokemon character, Kubfu.
Starting from March 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM and continuing until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM (local time), the research will provide trainers an opportunity to soar to greater heights with their miniature legendary companion. This period coincides with the end of the current season.
