In August 2024, Pokemon Go players can participate in another round of Mega Raid battles, with the return of Mega Kangaskhan as one of the bosses. So, let’s review Mega Kangaskhan’s weaknesses, resistances, and the most effective counters to use.
Over time, Pokemon Go has added numerous Mega Pokemon to the game. Since the feature was introduced, fans have witnessed the inclusion of Mega Lucario, Mega Gengar, Mega Rayquaza, and many others.
Recently, Pokemon Go has revealed that Mega Kangaskhan will be making a reappearance in the game starting on August 12, 2024 and will be available until August 21, 2024. To assist trainers in defeating Mega Kangaskhan during these upcoming raids, let’s review all the important information they need to know.
Weaknesses of Mega Kangaskhan in Pokemon Go
Being a Normal-type Pokemon, Mega Kangaskhan is susceptible to Fighting-type attacks only. Thus, trainers should prioritize training and using powerful Fighting-types in this raid.
Likewise, players should refrain from using any Ghost-type Pokemon or Pokemon with Ghost-type moves in their kit in a raid against Mega Kangaskhan, as it is only resistant to this type.
Mega Kangaskhan counters
Mega Kangaskhan, being a pure normal type, is immune to ghost-type attacks but vulnerable to fighting-type attacks. This makes it essential to have a strong fighting-type Pokemon with two powerful fighting moves as your main counter. With a high level of around 35/40, just a few trainers should be able to defeat this kangaroo Pokemon.
A few recommended counters for the Mega Kangaskhan mega raid in Pokemon Go include:
| Pokemon | Sprite | Moves |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Rayquaza | Dragon Tail & Dragon Ascent | |
| Mega Blaziken | Counter & Focus Blast | |
| Mega Gallade | Low Kick & Close Combat | |
| Conkeldurr | Counter & Dynamic Punch | |
| Lucario | Counter & Aura Sphere | |
| Galarian Zapdos | Counter & Close Combat | |
| Terakkion | Double Kick & Sacred Sword | |
| Keldeo | Low Kick & Sacred Sword | |
| Shadow Machamp | Counter & Dynamic Punch |
How to Obtain Mega Kankaskhan in Pokemon Go
As previously stated, Mega Kangaskhan will be making a comeback in Pokemon Go from August 12, 2024, to August 21, 2024.
After successfully completing a Mega Kangaskhan Mega Raid, you will be given an opportunity to capture a Kangaskhan and acquire Mega Kangaskhan Mega Energy.
To temporarily transform your chosen Kangaskhan into Mega Kangaskhan, you will need 200 Mega Energy and apply it to your own Kangaskhan (ideally one with favorable stats).
Transforming it again quickly is possible by using more Mega Energy or waiting for a certain amount of time, usually a few days, which is also free.
Can Mega Kangaskhan be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Currently, Pokemon Go allows players to catch a shiny Kangaskhan.
After defeating a Mega Kangaskhan, the Shiny encounter rate is slightly higher compared to a normal encounter rate.
