Stats & Training
Raw HP carries Kangaskhan's bulk more than the defenses do. Sp. Atk barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A tough to catch Parent Pokemon that yields 2 HP EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
If you come across a young Kangaskhan playing by itself, you must never disturb it or attempt to catch it. The baby Pokémon’s parent is sure to be in the area, and it will become violently enraged at you.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Kangaskhan Best Moveset
Kangaskhan doesn't rely on pure speed. Leftovers gives it passive recovery each turn to stay healthy, and Jolly nature still pushes offense. Fakeout and the remaining moves keep the pressure on while max Attack and Speed EVs balance power and survivability.

STAB runs through Giga Impact and Hyper Beam for the basics, but Kangaskhan's real strength is the 14-type coverage spread. Dark and Dragon hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.
