Mega Kangaskhan weaknesses in Pokémon Go

As a Normal-type Pokémon, Mega Kangaskhan’s only weakness is Fighting-types, meaning there are plenty of Pokémon that can land Super Effective moves during the heat of battle.

Even when selecting a Pokémon with plenty of Fighting-type moves in the arsenal, it’s still best to pick those capable of dealing the most damage as fast as possible.

Mega Kangaskhan counters in Pokémon Go

The best Pokémon to counter Mega Kangaskhan are those that know quick and powerful attacks perfect for depleting the health bar with ease.

We recommend using Lucario in either Mega or Regular form, thanks to its Counter and Close Combat moves.

Machamp’s Shadow or Regular form is also a viable pick, along with Karate Chop and Dynamic Punch, which are perfect for maximum impact.

Other options include Terrakion, Keldeo, Conkeldurr and Blaziken. As long as players stick with Pokémon armed with Fighting moves, the chances of defeating Mega Kangaskhan are high.
