Biological characteristics

Kangaskhan resembles a roughly man-sized dinosaur. Like a marsupial, it sports a pouch in its front (from which its name comes), but actually has a much stouter build than a kangaroo, and is closer in shape to a dinosaur. Its body is colored in tones of brown, but its child has a grayish-blue colored hide. Kangaskhan's paws and feet are clawed, and its head has a helmet-like formation on top of it. Kangaskhan also has fangs, which seem to clash with the kangaroo's herbivore diet. However, it may only use its fangs for defensive purposes, much like gorillas or mouse-deer which are strict herbivores.

All Kangaskhan are of the female gender. According to the breeding principles in the video games, this means that a Kangaskhan's children are always female Kangaskhan. A Kangaskhan is extremely devoted to its children. It carries them in its pouch, keeping them protected until they can find food for themselves, which usually takes them three years to manage. Kangaskhan continues keeping its child in its pouch even during sleep, but it remains upright while doing so to avoid crushing it.

Kangaskhan will let its child out of the pouch only when it believes it is absolutely safe to do so. Even then, it is always close by, keeping an eye on it. Anyone who tries to capture a lone Kangaskhan child is extremely foolhardy, as its mother is certain to appear in seconds and attack in a violent rage to protect its offspring, no matter how tough the fight.

Despite its appearance in every game sprite, the Kangaskhan infant is not available as a Pokémon in the game, probably because it is impossible to separate it from its mother. It is not known whether it belongs to the Kangaskhan species or is a pre-evolved form in the style of Pichu or Igglybuff. Pichu ), who is Pokémon #172 (#155 in the Hoenn Pokédex) is the pre-evolved version of Pikachu in the Pokémon franchise. ... Igglybuff ) is a fictional character of the Pokémon franchise. ...

Kangaskhan has slightly above-average stats in all attributes except for the (somewhat irrelevant, given Kangaskhan's Normal type) Special Attack stat. Kangaskhan learns several powerful moves, like Mega Punch, Dizzy Punch, Endure and Reversal. The last two attacks make a good combination, as the first ensures Kangaskhan will survive an otherwise fatal attack with one Hit Point remaining, while the second's power increases the lower Kangaskhan's health is. Kangaskhan can also learn from TMs some skills that compliment its ineffectiveness against Rock, Steel and Ghost types, such as Brick Break and Shadow Ball. Kangaskhan can also learn Stomp, Crush Claw, Substitute, and Foresight (which gives Kangaskhan the ability to use Normal-type and Fighting-type moves on Ghost-types) as Egg Moves. Finally, Kangaskhan's Early Bird ability, which awakens it quickly from a sleep condition, can prove useful when using the Rest move (which restores all Hit Points but puts the user to sleep). Kangaskhan's other ability, Scrappy (found only in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl), allows it to successfully use a Normal/Fighting type attack against a ghost type Pokemon and deal damage. This makes Kangaskhan (along with Miltank) an excellent counter against Sableye and Spiritomb, the only known Pokemon without a type weakness. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are new Pokémon games to be released for the Nintendo DS. Not much is known about them. ...

Even though Kangaskhan officially has no evolutions, in Pokémon Red and Blue, the Glitch Pokémon 'M (or M Block) will evolve into Kangaskhan as soon as it gains experience points or uses a Rare Candy. This leads some to believe that a Kangaskhan's baby was originally planned to be a separate Pokémon, but the idea was scrapped at the last second, after the slot had already been put in the game. However, 'M learns techniques that would not be associated with a baby Kangaskhan, such as Sky Attack, 2 copies of Water Gun and Fly. The glitch is often abused to get a Kangaskhan with a strange moveset like this. Interestingly, in the later games, a Kangaskhan hatched from an egg will already have it's baby in it's pouch. The true reason the glitch Pokémon evolve into Kangaskhan is due to the fact that Kangaskhan is among the very first Pokémon in the game's internal indexing; when Missingno. et al attempt to evolve, it simply evolves into the next slot; it may also evolve into Rhydon.
