Below are the main features that come with the DLC and are some things to keep in mind as you play through it.

  • The Pokemon you encounter will be scaled to the level of your party. (The highest leveled Pokemon in your party determines this.)
  • Kubfu, the Legendary Pokemon of this DLC, will always start at level 10.
  • Kubfu can be evolved into one of two different evolutions called (Single Strike) Urshifu and (Rapid Strike) Urshifu. They evolve by completing The Tower Of Darkness or Tower of Waters, respectively. (Since you only get one Kubfu you can only choose one evolution, so choose wisely.)
