Kangaskhan is a large, bipedal {{wp|marsupial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that vaguely resembles a {{wp|kangaroo}}. It has a brown hide with several raised patches and a cream-colored belly. It has large, cream-colored ears, narrow, red eyes, and a short, rounded snout with two fangs in the back of its upper jaw. On top of its head is a thick, black plate. There are {{wp|epaulette}}-like growths over its shoulders and a row of spikes down its back. It has three clawed digits on each hand and foot and a thick tail. On its belly is a pouch that contains 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. | Kangaskhan is a large, bipedal {{wp|marsupial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that vaguely resembles a {{wp|kangaroo}}.

Kangaskhan is a nurturing Pokémon that protects its young at all costs. It can move really fast, even with the baby in its pouch. 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. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Kangaskhan will defend the baby in its pouch, even while it sleeps.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref> They are known to raise other species of Pokémon alongside their own children, and records exist which describe a childless Kangaskhan raising a lost human child. Regardless of how badly injured it becomes, the mother will not cease fighting until its young is safe. It uses quick jabs to intimidate its enemies. Although it was nearly hunted to extinction, Kangaskhan can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannahs and other grasslands}}. | Kangaskhan is a nurturing Pokémon that protects its young at all costs.
