Kangaskhan is a Normal-type Pokémon, and does not evolve. The baby Kangaskhan in it's pouch may be an unrecorded Pokemon that may be recorded in future Generations.

Appearance

Kangaskhan is a Parent Pokémon. It is based off a large kangaroo. Its baby is often seen in it's pouch.

Special Abilities

Kangaskhan can have the ability Early Bird or the ability Scrappy. Early Bird allows Kangaskhan to wake up faster. Scrappy allows Kangaskhan's Normal-type moves to hit Ghost-type Pokémon. This Pokémon is known for the fact that she has a baby in her pouch in front of her. She is known as the good parent Pokémon, and if she feels that either of them (that being the baby and her) is being harmed, she will attack. Various Kangaskhan use a variation of moves such as Crunch, Shadow Claw, Outrage, Dizzy Punch, Earthquake, Drain Punch, Avalanche, and Brick Break in battle.

Comparison between a Kangaskhan Baby and Cubone

  • According to Pokémon early concepts, baby Kangaskhan were originally slated to be it's own individual Pokémon. In addition, it was planned to have two possible evolution stages. If its mother Kangaskhan fainted a certain number of times, it would die and the baby Kangaskhan would evolve into a Cubone which could be supported by the fact that the head aesthetics of Kangaskhan is identical to that of the skull worn by Cubone and its successor stage, Marowak (which would have evolved into Kangaskhan). However, due to difficulties laying out how loop holes in how the events leading to the events, the idea was scrapped the last minute prior to the first games release.
  • It was originally planned to be a Rock type, likely for the reason above.
  • Kangaskhan is the only Pokémon that appear as two individual Pokémon but are both labeled as one despite the fact that most of the later Pokémon have individual stages for baby forms.
  • Kangaskhan probably derived its name from the great Mongol leader, Genghis Khan.
