How to get & evolve Kubfu in Pokemon Isle of Armor

Kubfu is one of the many new Pokemon that you’ll encounter as your journey across the rugged lands of The Isle of Armor, but where can you find it and how exactly does it evolve?

This fighting Pokemon may look deceptively cute, however, it packs a mean punch. Kubfu spends its days’ training, constantly trying to improve both its body and mind. 

Kubfu is exclusive to Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Isle of Armor Expansion and trainers can add this stalwart fighter to their collection from June 17 onwards.

Upon completing either of these challenges, Kubfu will evolve into its final evolution depending on the type of tower you choose. Urshifu has two forms – Single Strike Style and Rapid Strike Style.

Each form also has its own typing, so make sure you take a look at the image below before making a decision. 

The evolved form will also be available in two different Gigantamax forms as well, in the Isle of Armor Expansion Pass. Here, they will also adopt different GMAX moves that will almost certainly blast many opponents away in battle.
