Pokémon Sword and Shield the new Isle of Armor expansion pack is now available, bringing a new area, Galarian forms and, more excited, a new Legendary Pokémon. This Pokémon is named Kubfu and can only be evolved by completing a specific quest. Here's what you need to do to turn Kubfu into Urshifu.
How to evolve Kubfu on Isle of Armor
After meeting the Dojo Master Mustard and completing
its challenges, you will have a chance to take Kubfu and challenge one of the towers
of the Two Fists after showing that you have maximized your friendship with the
little Bear. You can speed up this process by giving it berries and
level it in your group. The important thing is to have Kubfu on you
at any time to build friendship.
Completing one of the turns is how to evolve Kubfu, but it can take two forms, one for each turn. Both towers are available in both Sword and Shield, they are unrelated to the version you are playing. Both shapes have their own gigantamax shape and the movements they will adapt depending on the tower you choose.
The Dark Tower will have your new Urshifu take the single
strike style. It will be a fighting type and dark. In this form he will learn Wicked
Stroke. Urshifu will ignore all opponent's stat changes and still land a critical hit
hit with this unique strike attack.
The Water Tower will inspire Urshifu to take the quick strike
style and make him a combo and water type combo. Surging Strikes is the
special move learned from this form and is also still a critical hit, but via
several quick strikes instead of a massive punch.
Whichever path you choose, Urshifu will have a hidden
ability called Invisible Fist. If the Pokémon attacks with direct contact moves,
they will still deal damage, although a move like Protect which usually negates
any damage is used.
