PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Low Kick hits Normal, Dark, and Ice effectively, which are commonly found in gyms, but Mud Slap does not.

  • If you are lucky enough to have a Stomp Kangaskhan, good for you! It trounces other charge moves due to STAB.

  • Outrage is the best of Kangaskhan's current charge moves, having huge power and wide neutral coverage.

  • Earthquake and Crunch are poor overall, but Earthquake at least matches type with Mud Slap.

  • Power-Up Punch is basically worthless due to how weak it is.

  • Kangaskhan's other legacy move, Brick Break, lacks the power to be useful.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Mud Slap has substantially higher defensive DPS than Low Kick.

  • Stomp is a clear winner due to its STAB and few resistances; this 2 bar move is annoying to fight.

  • Outrage is a fine choice as well; it's strong and not widely resisted, but it’s easy to dodge.

  • Crunch, Power-Up Punch, and Brick Break fire early and often, so they are also worth considering.

  • With 1 bar and a late damage window, Earthquake won’t do squat.

PVE Overview

If you come from or go to the land down under, be sure to pick up a Kangaskhan. This 'mon has a very interesting kit that contains no STAB moves besides one legacy move. She has a solid defensive movepool and typing that is compromised by pretty average stats. Kangaskhan isn’t designed for offense, where middling Atk and lack of STAB make for a poor attacker.

Kangaskhan does have a bit of hope for the future in the form of a mega evolution, though without the advantage of its signature ability, Parental Bond, it likely won't be fantastic.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Mud Slap + Power-Up Punch and Outrage

Mud Slap is an average damage-oriented move. Power-Up Punch is Kangaskhan's cheapest move and boosts its Attack with each use. Given a bit of shield play, it can make Kangaskhan a huge offensive threat that deals huge damage with each attack given a few uses. Outrage is a slow but powerful move that hits popular Dragons extremely hard.

The more accessible Crunch is also an option.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1.5 / 5

Poor Kangaskhan really doesn't have much to its advantage. Its quick moves are bad and its typing is not good, plus it's outclassed in any possible niche by many other Pokemon. It can be a bit unpredictable due to its wide movepool, but it just has too many weights holding it back to be considered good.

Ultra League: 3 / 5

Kangaskhan does have greatly improved performance in the Ultra League due to its in-demand type coverage. A resistance to Ghost, a Ground fast move to farm Steel and Outrage to delete Dragons form one of the best combinations possible given the current metagame of the league.

Master League: 0 / 5

Its CP is too low to compete here. Too bad Kangaskhan's kid can't just jump out of its pouch and help it....
