PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
⚔️ Raids
Kangaskhan is a single-stage Normal-type Pokémon. Being a Normal-type Pokémon, Kangaskhan cannot do Super Effective STAB attacks on any Pokémon, as no Pokémon is weak to Normal-type attacks. Not only that, Kangaskhan is not particularly attack-weighted either, as it has more of a balanced stat spread. As such, Kangaskhan does not make for an effective raid attacker.

🔵 Great League
Kangaskhan has quite a few issues that prevent it from being a good choice for PvP. As a Normal-type, Kangaskhan could have been a solid safe-swap if it had good bulk. But its stats are more on the “balanced” category, rather than being bulky. And its movepool, while varied, does not create any good combination to make up for its stats.
Mud-Slap is a decent fast attack. But most of Kangaskhan’s charged attacks either require substantial energy or do not do enough damage for the energy required. As such, Kangaskhan just doesn’t cut it as a good Pokémon for the Great League.
🟡 Ultra League
Kangaskhan has a bit better bulk in the Ultra League, but that doesn’t mean much as it is now up against far stronger Pokémon in this league as well.
🟣 Master League
It stands to reason that if Kangaskhan wasn’t performing well in the other two leagues, it’s definitely not performing well in the legendary-dominated Master League either.
