Everything you need to know about Kangaskhan in Pokmon Go.
Kangaskhan, the parent Pokémon, is one of the regional Pokémon in Pokémon Go, but, for certain in-game events like the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto, it will appear in raids throughout the world.
If you don’t live within Kangaskhan’s dedicated region, then this is the perfect time to add this rare Pokémon to your collection by exploiting its weaknesses in a raid.
Kangaskhan is a three-star raid Pokémon, so it’s a good idea to team up with other players to ensure you can defeat this Pokémon. Remember – you can use Remote Raid Passes to battle Kangaskhan from your own home!
Alongside Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Mewtwo, Kangaskan made an appearance during the Kanto Tour event in February 2021, and had to be caught to complete the corresponding Raid Collection Challenge.

How to catch Kangaskhan in Pokémon Go
Ordinarily, Kangaskhan is a regional exclusive in Australasia, where it will spawn in the wild.
It has, however, since its debut in 2016 appeared in various events so other players have had access in their own region.
One such opportunity is during the Tour Kanto event in February 2021, which tasks players with catching all 150 Pokémon within the span of eight days.
During this event Kangaskhan – alongside fellow Kanto exclusives Farfetch’d, Mr Mime and Tauros – appears in Raids on the main event day on Saturday, February 20th.
At the time of writing, this is the only way to get Kangaskhan before the Raid Collection Challenge deadline on February 28th, 2021 – so be sure to prioritise catching it on the day before the opportunity disappears.
