Kangaskhan (Japanese: ガルーラ Garura) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon(Besides the Glitch Pokemon 'M .

Biology

Physiology

Kangaskhan is a kangaroo-like Pokémon with vaguely theropod-like features. Kangaskhan is colored brown with accentuations of cream on its horn-like ears and belly, with black on the helmet-like patch on its head. Kangaskhan have red irises, fangs protruding from its upper jaw, epaulette-like patches on its shoulders, and square patches on its legs. Kangaskhan also has various ridges and patches down its back and two spikes on its tail. Kangaskhan carries around a little purple baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother’s body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth.

Gender differences

Kangaskhan is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Special abilities

Kangaskhan can use the move Outrage, which can normally only be learned by Template:Type2 Pokémon. It has a fighting spirit that is nearly indestructible, therefore it will never give up in battle. Kangaskhan are skilled at using Comet Punch and Dizzy Punch.

Behavior

Kangaskhan are very nurturing to their young and other Kangaskhan, but if anyone tries to touch or harm their young the parent Kangaskhan will viciously attack the person trying to harm the baby Kangaskhan. When its mother is executing a move or striking a pose, the baby may imitate her actions. To avoid crushing the baby Kangaskhan carries in its pouch, it always sleeps standing up.

Habitat

Kangaskhan appear mostly in jungle-like areas. They have been imported to Kanto and Sinnoh for their Safari Zones. Following the closure of the Kanto Safari Zone, they appear to have been introduced to the Rock Tunnel.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
EP034 Kangaskhan Ash's Pokédex Kangaskhan, a Parent Pokémon. Once approaching extinction, they are now protected by law and inhabit the Safari Zone. Approach with extreme caution. The Kangaskhan is a rare Pokémon which raises its children in its pocket. They will attack viciously and without warning if they feel their young are threatened in any way.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Kangaskhan debuted in its 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 its baby. The baby was poisoned, so Red used an Antidote to heal it. 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.

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

Diamond's mother, Johanna, owns a Kangaskhan.

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. After using Outrage on Deoxys, it became confused and started to attack everything around it with its Flamethrower attack. It also smashed its own Poké Ball while on rampage. It was eventually defeated by Deoxys in Attack Forme.

Trivia

  • It should be noted that the Glitch Pokémon 'M evolves into Kangaskhan. This is due to Kangaskhan's position in the game's internal programming, and is also why 'M (among other Glitch Pokémon) can also evolve into Rhydon.
  • Kangaskhan is the last non-legendary Pokémon in the Fiore Browser.
  • Interestingly, even with the advent of breeding and Baby Pokémon, the Baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch.
    • This is similar to what happens when a Chansey/Blissey breeds (without holding a Luck Incense), as the offspring will have an egg, already in its pouch.

Origin

Kangaskhan is based on a kangaroo.

Name origin

Kangaskhan's name is a combination of kangaroo and Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire (possibly how its Pokédex data refers to how violently protective it is of its child). Ironically, Genghis Khan was a male, but Kangaskhan is a female-only species. Its Japanese name is derived from English words "kangaroo" (カンガルー kangarū) and "ruler" (ルーラー rūrā).

In other languages

  • German: Kangama - Combination of kangaroo and Mama.
  • French: Kangourex - From kangourou (kangaroo) and rex (Latin for "king").
  • Korean: 캥카 Kaengka
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 袋龍 Dài Lóng - "Pouch Dragon".
