Basics
Kangaskhan is a Normal-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 1,477 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 1,847 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 2,924 at level 50. It is weak to Fighting attacks (1.6×). It resists Ghost attacks. In raids, Low Kick + Outrage is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.

If you come across a young Kangaskhan playing by itself, you must never disturb it or attempt to catch it. The baby Pokémon's parent is sure to be in the area, and it will become violently enraged at you.

- What to power up first (power-up priorities for beginners)Stardust is limited, so first power up strong counters you'll use for a long time across many raids.
- Choosing IVs for PvP (low Attack wins in Great and Ultra League)In leagues with a CP cap, the lower the Attack IV, the higher you can level up within the same CP, which makes Defense and HP bigger.
