Kangaskhan (Japanese: ガルーラ Garura) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
She is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Kangaskhan is a kangaroo-like Pokémon with vaguely theropod-like features. Kangaskhan is colored brown with accentuations of cream on her horn-like ears and belly, with black on the helmet-like patch on her head. Kangaskhan have red irises, fangs protruding from her upper jaw, epaulette-like patches on her shoulders, and square patches on her legs. Kangaskhan also has various ridges and patches down her back and two spikes on her 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. She has a fighting spirit that is nearly indestructible, therefore she 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 her pouch, she always sleeps standing up.
Habitat
Kangaskhan appear mostly in jungle-like areas. They have been imported to Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh for their respective Safari Zones. Following the closure of the Kanto Safari Zone, they appear to have been introduced to the Rock Tunnel.

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 Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
A Kangaskhan was seen with Tommy in Pikachu's Excellent Adventure.
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
- Kangaskhan is one of the few Generation I Pokémon that, as of Generation V, still have no evolutionary relatives, along with Farfetch'd, Pinsir, Tauros, Lapras, Ditto, and Aerodactyl.
- The glitch Pokémon 'M evolves into Kangaskhan. This is due to Kangaskhan's position in the game's internal programming.
- Kangaskhan is the last non-legendary Pokémon in the Fiore Browser.
- 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 her 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.
- Although Kangaskhan is an all female species, the baby of the Kangaskhan seen in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go Getters Out of the Gate! has a male voice.
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 her Pokédex data refers to how violently protective she is of her child). Ironically, Genghis Khan was a male, but Kangaskhan is a female-only species. Her Japanese name is derived from English words "kangaroo" (カンガルー kangarū) and "ruler" (ルーラー rūrā).
