Mega Kangaskhan: Strengths And Weaknesses

Mega Kangaskhan is a sole Normal-type Pokemon, limiting the number of strengths and weaknesses that this Pokemon has on the battlefield.

There is only one type of attack that Mega Kangaskhan is resistant to: Ghost-type attacks. Attacks of this type will deal significantly less damage than those of any other type, so it is essential that you avoid the use of them in this Raid battle.

To take advantage of Mega Kangaskhan’s only weakness, make sure that you’re battling with Pokemon that are equipped with Fighting-type attacks. These types of attacks will perform exceptionally well in this battle, so make sure that you are coming with several Pokemon that have them.

On top of using Fighting-type attacks, activate the Same Type Attack Bonus by battling with Fighting-type Pokemon.

Matching the type of attack with the type of the Pokemon will result in an increase in the move’s overall effectiveness.
