• Normal Attacker:Mud-SlapStomp

Mega Kangaskhan holds a special place in general Pokémon lore, at least in the main series. It is one of the most powerful Mega Evolutions, boasting overall balanced but strong stats. It is also the only pure Normal type Mega Evolution. But how does it perform in Pokémon GO PVE?

Mega Kangaskhan is one of only 3 Normal type Mega Evolutions in the series, its competition being Mega Lopunny and Mega Audino. As mentioned previously, it is the only pure Normal type out of the three, with both others gaining a secondary type after Mega Evolving. However, we will only compare the three Pokémon as Normal type attackers.

For starters, Normal type Pokémon are not typically sought after as attackers. They match up generally well against most types, only being resisted by Rock and Steel and double resisted by Ghost. Their shortcoming stems from their inability to hit anything for Super Effective damage using their STAB Normal moves, forcing them to use non-STAB coverage moves to hit anything for Super Effective damage. In other Pokémon titles, this attribute is much more appealing, being able to match up well against most of the meta. However, in Pokémon GO, where you can choose your team based on how it matches up against the target in PVE, this ends up being more of a hindrance than an asset.

Regardless, we can still see how Mega Kangaskhan stacks up against Mega Lopunny and Mega Audino. Unfortunately, it has a hard time competing. This is largely due to the lack of a STAB Fast Move. Mega Lopunny pulls ahead in this regard, and while it does still deal more damage than Mega Audino, being a mixed attacker is never ideal, especially when one attack isn’t STAB. Mega Kanaskhan does gain access to a Fighting and Ground time moveset, but there’s no case where you would use it over even a non-Mega Evolved Fighting or Ground type. The 1.5x damage boost from STAB may not seem like much, but when every other attacker of these types has it and Mega Kangaskhan doesn’t, the difference is huge. The best case I can see for using Mega Kangaskhan would be as an early Mega Evolution to use if you’re just beginning your adventure. However, Mega Kangaskhan usually only returns for limited events due to its status as a Regional Pokémon, and the Raid Passes you use to beat it could be used on literally any other Mega Evolution. In terms of PVE, Mega Kangaskhan has no real usage.

It’s unfortunate that such a fun design and a powerhouse in other Pokémon media is relegated to a Pokédex filler in Pokémon GO. Unfortunately, the numbers and stats don’t lie. It’s best usage is as a non-STAB Ground or Fighting attacker, as it even fails to be a Normal attacker as well as some of the other Mega Evolutions. For now, all we can do is hope for a buff in the future!
