How to Get Mega Kangaskhan

You cannot catch Kangaskhan in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Kangaskhan.

Kangaskhan can be caught with the following CP values:

• 2112 – 2200 CP no weather boost
• 2640 – 2750 CP boosted by Partly Cloudy weather boost

In order to get Mega Kangaskhan you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution. Once you Mega Evolve a Pokémon for the first time, Mega Energy will no longer be required for that specific Pokémon to Mega Evolve again. Instead, the Pokémon will become exhausted after its Mega Evolution and need to rest before being Mega Evolved again.

In other words, there is now a cooldown period after you Mega Evolve a Pokémon. You can level up your Mega Pokémon in order to decrease this cooldown period.

Kangaskhan Shiny

Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Kangaskhan from a raid.

Conclusion

Mega Kangaskhan may be a popular raid boss as a regional exclusive spawn. Their stats aren’t amazing, and as a Normal type they aren’t as usable as many Mega Pokémon, but they sure are a cute one!

All the best, trainers!
