All Mega Kangaskhan weaknesses

Mega Kangaskhan is a Normal-type Pokémon. It will be weak against Fighting-type moves, but it is resistant against Ghost-type attacks. You primarily want to focus on using Fighting-type Pokémon for this encounter and breakdown this Pokémon’s defenses during the raid.

Best Pokémon counters to Mega Kangaskhan

The best Pokémon to use against Mega Kangaskhan will be Conkeldurr, Lucario, and Machamp.

Conkeldurr is a Fighting-type Pokémon. Like many Fighting-type Pokémon on this list, Conkeldurr does not have the best defenses, but it has a wide array of Fighting-type moves to decimate Mega Kangaskhan’s health. The best moveset to give Conkeldurr is the fast move counter and the charged moves dynamic punch and focus blast.

Next, we have Lucario, a Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario is a more robust choice with its steel-typing because of its many resistance, but it still has low defenses. You can take advantage of Lucario’s typing to give Mega Kangaskhan a much harder time. The best moveset to provide Lucario with is the fast move counter and the charged moves close combat and aura sphere.

Finally, we have Machamp, another Fighting-type Pokémon. Machamp is seen as the go-to option for any Normal-type Pokémon and has plenty of power. The best moveset to give Machamp against Mega Kangaskhan is the fast move counter and charged moves dynamic punch and close combat.

You will need to use a full team of six Pokémon to defeat Mega Kangaskhan. These are some other choices you can consider using to add to your roster.

  • Blaziken
  • Hariyama
  • Heracross
  • Mega Lopunny
  • Mewtwo
  • Sirfetch’d
  • Terrakion
  • Toxicroak

After defeating Mega Kangaskhan, you’ll have the chance to capture this Pokémon and earn Mega Candy towards evolving one for yourself. There’s also a chance for you to catch a shiny Kangaskhan after completing the raid.
