Overview

Once the biggest threat of Battle Spot Singles last generation, Mega Kangaskhan has seen quite a downgrade due to Parental Bond only having a 25% damage bonus. Don't be fooled though, it's still a powerful sweeper that's bulky, has a good movepool, and has a good amount of power once it boosts its Attack. However, it's easier to wall than last gen, and Mega Kangaskhan still has serious problems with Double-Edge, Rocky Helmet, Rough Skin, and Iron Barbs chipping away at its health.

  • Parental Bond lets Power-Up Punch give Mega Kangaskhan two Attack boosts, acting much like an attacking Swords Dance.
  • Double-Edge is Mega Kangaskhan's most powerful STAB. While the recoil hurts, the power is needed to sweep and break through walls.
  • Earthquake hits Steel-types such as Aegislash hard, while avoiding contact.
  • Sucker Punch gives Mega Kangaskhan priority for picking off threats, but Rock Slide is another move that doesn't make contact, and can also flinch foes.
  • Consider leaving Mega Kangaskhan for late game, since the massive amount of recoil it takes can lead to it getting KOed early in the game.
  • Pack in wall breakers, especially for Pokemon that commonly carry Rocky Helmet such as Cresselia, Celesteela, Ferrothorn, and Slowbro.
  • Consider a way to heal Mega Kangaskhan, such as Lunar Dance, Healing Wish, Z-Memento, or Z-Parting Shot, since this will allow use of Mega Kangaskhan more comfortably early in the game.
