Kangaskhan (Japanese: ガルーラ Garura) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan using the Kangaskhanite.

Biology

Kangaskhan is a large, bipedal creature with a thick tail. It has a brown hide with several raised patches, and a cream-colored belly. On top of its head is a black patch, and it has large cream-colored ears and red eyes. Its snout is short and rounded with two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. There are epaulette-like growths over its shoulders and a row of spikes down its back. It has three clawed digits on each hand and foot. In the pouch on its belly, it carries a baby Kangaskhan. Unlike its parent, the baby is light purple and has smooth skin. Kangaskhan is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

As Mega Kangaskhan, the mother Kangaskhan appears unchanged. However, the baby has grown into a child and gained some new features. There are now raised patches on its knees similar to those seen on its mother. These patches also appear aligned horizontally along its belly. Small, spiked growths appear underneath its ears. The child is feisty, hates to lose and will boldly challenge its opponents to protect its mother.[1]

Kangaskhan is a nurturing Pokémon that protects its young at all costs. The baby leaves the pouch only rarely until it is three years old. In order to avoid crushing the baby, Kangaskhan sleeps standing up. If the mother feels the environment is safe, it will allow its young out to play. However, it will violently attack anything that it sees as a threat to its young. Regardless of how badly injured it becomes, the mother will not cease fighting until its young is safe. Although it was nearly hunted to extinction, Kangaskhan can be found in savannahs and other grasslands.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Kanga and Li'l Kanga

Kangaskhan debuted in her own round in the Red, Green & Blue arc, The Secret of Kangaskhan. Here, Blue tries to catch one but is stopped by Red when he (Red) realizes Kangaskhan is protecting her baby. The baby was poisoned, so Red used an Antidote to heal her. Kangaskhan is grateful and leaves; Blue watched this in amazement, but was still angry at Red for allowing Kangaskhan to escape, thus starting their rivalry.

Mega Kangaskhan in Pokémon Adventures.

In Take a Chance on Chansey in a flashback of Agatha's, Professor Oak is seen with a Kangaskhan, nicknamed Kanga, on his team from their league battle over two decades ago, and uses her to fight the bitter woman's Gengar, winning the match after hours. He still has her by the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, and she is beaten both by the Team Rocket member Orm and Guile Hideout along with most of his other Pokémon, including his newly evolved Fearow. She has not been seen since.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

In the second special chapter of the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga, Mars has a Kangaskhan which she uses against Deoxys. Kangaskhan succeeded in critically wounding it.

Trivia

  • Since breeding was introduced in Generation II, even a Kangaskhan newly hatched from an Egg already has a baby Kangaskhan in its pouch. The same oddity occurs with Chansey (which hatches with an egg in its pouch).

Origin

Kangaskhan is based on a kangaroo with elements of Mongolian Laminar armour, evident in its helmet-like plate with ear flaps and its epaulettes.

Name origin

Kangaskhan may be a combination of kangaroo and Genghis Khan, who was a founder of the Mongol Empire. This possibly is in reference to how its Pokédex data refers to how violently protective it is of its child.

Garura is derived from カンガルー (kangaroo) and ルーラー (ruler).
