While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Kangaskhan''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Kangaskhanite}}.

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 {{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. 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.

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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannahs and other grasslands.}}

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===

Kangaskhan first appeared in ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]''. A group of these Parent Pokémon were watching over a wild boy named {{OBP|Tommy|EP034}}, who in turn was protecting them as well. An injured baby Kangaskhan also appeared in the same episode.

In ''[[PS076|Take a Chance on Chansey]]'' in a flashback of [[Agatha]]'s, {{adv|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 {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}, winning the match after hours. He still has her by the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, 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 {{p|Fearow}}. She has not been seen since.

Kanga, the mother Kangaskhan, and Li'l Kanga, the baby Kangaskhan, are the first known Pokémon of {{adv|X}}. Using X's [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]], Li'l Kanga can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] and fight on her mother's behalf. They both debuted in ''[[PAXY01|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]''.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===

Mega Kangaskhan appears as a trophy.

'''NA:''' ''What happens when Kangaskhan, the Parent Pokémon, Mega Evolves? The baby in its pouch jumps out and joins in the battle! All grown up, that baby is ready to protect its mother! "It's just a baby!" you might say, but look into those eyes - there is a ferocity there that will be tough to beat. Here comes a one-two combo from mom and baby!''
