Strategy Overview

Mega Kangaskhan is arguably the best Mega Pokemon in the format. Parental Bond along with its high-powered STAB attacks, excellent bulk, and variety of coverage moves such as Sucker Punch and Low Kick makes it an absolute terror, and while Intimidate, Will-O-Wisp, and STAB Fighting-type attacks keep it somewhat in check, they certainly don't make this beastly Pokemon not worth using.
