Strategy Overview
At first glance, Kangaskhan has three attributes that stand out: it has a name which is nearly impossible to spell, it boasts good defenses and HP, and it possesses below average attacking stats. However, what makes Kangaskhan shine is hidden beneath the surface, a very underrated yet potent ability known as Scrappy. Scrappy negates the Ghost-type immunity to Normal- and Fighting-type moves, which allows Kangaskhan to use moves such as Low Kick and Double-Edge without fear of Ghost-types switching in; Kangaskhan uses that niche to attack with impunity. What Kangaskhan lacks in power, it makes up for in utility; the ability to achieve perfect coverage between just two moves is more than enough to justify Kangaskhan a spot on a team.
