Kubfu is a small, bearlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is primarily dark gray, with a yellow snout and white patches of fur on its head and chest. The patch of fur on its forehead partially covers its black eyes, and has two black downturned eyebrows on top. Additionally, there are two white ribbons of fur located behind its head. Kubfu builds up power and fighting spirit by pulling on these ribbons. Its nose is black and it has a perpetual frown. It has black claws and toes, the latter of which are shaped like triangles. Its tail has a black, spiky appearance.

Kubfu works hard to train both body and mind, even using its defeats as a motivation to grow even stronger. It has a unique organ that allows it to create "{{t|fighting}} energy" in its lower abdomen through special breathing techniques and intense focusing. Wild Kubfu live in mountainous areas far away from the [[Galar]] [[region]], although they lived in the region at some point. According to historical texts, Kubfu used to travel to uncharted lands with people as they went to trade or explore. Records suggest that the Kubfu living in faraway mountains in the present day, may have descended from the Kubfu that became naturalized in the distant lands they visited in the past<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/kubfu/ Kubfu | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>.

* [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|'''Pokémon Sword and Shield''']]: [[The Isle of Armor|'''The Isle of Armor''']]: [[Mustard#Gives away|'''Kubfu''']] is a major character in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]]. It serves as the "'''Secret Armor'''" of [[Mustard]]'s [[Master Dojo]], being given to the player after they succeed in beating all of the dojo's three trials. The player is then tasked with increasing Kubfu's [[friendship]] and then challenging one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]] with it. After defeating Mustard and his own Kubfu at the top floor, Kubfu is allowed to examine a [[Scroll of Darkness|special]] [[Scroll of Waters|scroll]] that allows it to evolve into Urshifu.
{{main|Mustard's Kubfu}}
Kubfu first appeared in [[PASS32]]. It was the "secret armor" of the [[Master Dojo]], and was given to Trainers who complete the dojo's three trials. Despite this, Mustard decided to let it see the world alongside {{Casey}}, but she rejected the offer as she already had a full team. Mustard then allowed it to walk with {{Henry}} instead. Once Kubfu had finished its {{pkmn|training}} and evolved into {{p|Urshifu}}, it officially joined Henry's team.

Kubfu (Japanese: ダクマ Dakuma) is a Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon introduced during Generation VIII, in The Isle of Armor.

It evolves into Urshifu when shown the scroll in one of the Towers of Two Fists or when exposed to the Scroll of Darkness or the Scroll of Waters. The form it evolves into depends on how it evolves.

(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Kubfu is a small, bearlike Pokémon. Its body is primarily dark gray, with a yellow snout and white patches of fur on its head and chest. The patch of fur on its forehead partially covers its black eyes, and has two black downturned eyebrows on top. Additionally, there are two white ribbons of fur located behind its head. Kubfu builds up power and fighting spirit by pulling on these ribbons. Its nose is black and it has a perpetual frown. It has black claws and toes, the latter of which are shaped like triangles. Its tail has a black, spiky appearance.

Kubfu works hard to train both body and mind, even using its defeats as a motivation to grow even stronger. It has a unique organ that allows it to create "fighting energy" in its lower abdomen through special breathing techniques and intense focusing. Wild Kubfu live in mountainous areas far away from the Galar region, although they lived in the region at some point. According to historical texts, Kubfu used to travel to uncharted lands with people as they went to trade or explore. Records suggest that the Kubfu living in faraway mountains in the present day, may have descended from the Kubfu that became naturalized in the distant lands they visited in the past[1]. It has been referred to as the "secret armor" of the Isle of Armor's Master Dojo, being gifted by Mustard to the one who pass the dojo's three trials. The move it masters by reading one of the special scrolls in one of the Towers of Two Fists will determine which fighting style it takes after evolving. While it can be timid, it can become more brave and confident once trained up. Kubfu loves Kubfu Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered and trained with it in the past.

Main article: Mustard's Kubfu

Kubfu first appeared in PASS32. It was the "secret armor" of the Master Dojo, and was given to Trainers who complete the dojo's three trials. Despite this, Mustard decided to let it see the world alongside Casey, but she rejected the offer as she already had a full team. Mustard then allowed it to walk with Henry instead. Once Kubfu had finished its training and evolved into Urshifu, it officially joined Henry's team.

Trivia

Origin

Kubfu may be based on a bear cub and a kung fu student wearing a headband. Its alternative name "secret armor" may be inspired by the magical armor owned by King Arthur in Historia Regum Britanniae or the Roman de Brut.

Name origin

Kubfu may be a combination of cub and kung fu.

Dakuma may be a combination of 打 da (hit), 熊 kuma (bear), and 琢磨 takuma (cultivation of skill).
