Kangaskhan is one of NU's best offensive Pokemon, a bulky wallbreaker that can break through bulkier teams while also functioning as an effective revenge killer because of its two priority attacks. Its Silk Scarf-boosted Double-Edge does over 40% to the tier's most prominent physical walls, physically defensive Cofagrigus and Sandaconda, and chipping them makes it easier for Kangaskhan's teammates to sweep. Earthquake makes Kangaskhan even harder to stop, 2HKOing Galarian Stunfisk and Silvally-Steel, the two most common Pokemon that resist its Double-Edge. Dual priority lets Kangaskhan revenge kill fast offensive threats like Gourgeist-S and Basculin. Spikes support from Pokemon like Ferroseed and Qwilfish makes Kangaskhan even more threatening, since walls like Sandaconda are now 2HKOed and thus cannot switch in. Toxicroak, Choice Scarf Sawk, and Swords Dance Silvally formes are all able to sweep after Kangaskhan has weakened the opponent's physical walls.

feel like the content of the first two sentences can just be made into one: it's a bulky wallbreaker that also functions as a helpful revenge killer/countermeasure to offense because of double priority. would also shift the sentence about revenge killing specific offense mons to have it coincide with this theoretical new first sentence.

Sandslash is not a good Spiker; replace mention with Ferroseed.

not really sure how I feel about mentioning spinblockers as Kangaskhan partners because while it definitely makes sense from an overall teambuilding standpoint, I think it makes more sense to focus on partners that specifically help Kanga. perhaps a mention of late-game cleaners that appreciate Kanga breaking the targets it does.

ding me when this is done so I can check it again
