• Fighting Attacker:CounterDynamic Punch

Kubfu is one of those few Legendaries that can evolve and sadly, that is its only trope in Pokémon GO. Despite having a great Fighting-type attackset, its stats are underwhelming so just focus on gathering 200 Candy and completing Raid tasks to evolve it.

🧬 Evolution -

You can evolve Kubfu into Urshifu (Single Strike Style) with 200 Kubfu Candy after you defeat 30 Dark-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. You do not have to defeat the Pokémon with Kubfu.

You can evolve Kubfu into Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style) with 200 Kubfu Candy after you defeat 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. You do not have to defeat the Pokémon with Kubfu.

🔮 Dynamax Pokémon

• Great League:CounterClose CombatBrick Break

🔵 Great League

A one dimensional Fighting-type attackset gives no coverage beyond it, leaving it in the losing end more often than not. Moreover, options like Annihilape, Primeape, and Shadow Machamp are superior in every way. 🥊

🟡 Ultra League

A mere 1919 max CP makes Kubfu terrible for the Ultra League.
