How to get Urshifu in Pokémon Go

You cannot catch Urshifu in Pokémon Go. What you need to do instead is catch a Kubfu first and then evolve it into Urshifu. You can do that by completing the free Special Research called Might and Master (1/5).

You would need to explore 3 km, defeat 3 Team GO Rocket members, and use a supereffective Charged Attack to complete the challenge. You get a Kubfu encounter and some XP as rewards.

Now, after catching the Kubfu, feed it 200 candies, and it will evolve into an Urshifu.
