Strategy Overview

Mega Kangaskhan's decent base 100 Speed tier combined with a wide movepool that gives it the ability to run a multitude of sets allows it to put pressure on offensive and defensive teams alike. Because of this, it has the ability to easily influence matchup at the cost of coverage, an issue that should be addressed when building with it. Its ability, Parental Bond, has the added benefit of effectively giving Kangaskhan a Choice Band without locking it into a move. However, Kangaskhan has a relatively low base Attack stat for a Mega Evolution and struggles to break through common walls.
