Kangaskhan

Kangaskhan is a solid pick in PU due to its solid Attack and Speed alongside Fake Out, which allows it to act as a decent revenge killer. These traits are aided by naturally good bulk that lets it to take a couple of hits if it must. Due to these traits, Kangaskhan acts as a blanket check against offense with the ability to pressure most setup sweepers with dual priority and chip faster foes while also being bulky enough to switch in a few times throughout a match. Additionally, Scrappy allows it to threaten offensive Ghost-types such as Oricorio-G or Haunter with Fake Out while denting defensive ones such as Jellicent and Spiritomb with Double-Edge. Kangaskhan can also effectively lure most of its counters with Z-move and Substitute + Toxic sets, significantly increasing its diversity and threat level. However, lack of reliable recovery alongside Double-Edge recoil wears down Kangaskhan quickly. All-out attacking sets struggle against bulky Normal-resistant Pokemon like Regirock and Carracosta, and it faces notable competition from Stoutland which can reliably deal more immediate damage at the cost of Speed and priority.
