      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      ⚔️ 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.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🔵 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.

      Mega Pokémon that boost Kangaskhan

      Photobomb

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Kangaskhan's Normal-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Kangaskhan.

      Normal Normal

      Pokédex informationMore information

      Mega and Primal Raid BonusMega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

      Mega and Primal Catch BonusWhile a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

              Catch probability with multiple throws

              In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Kangaskhan, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

              To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

              Catch rate formula

              Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

              • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
              • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

              There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

              Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
