There's a lot of fan theories surrounding Kangaskhan. Perhaps the most interesting one is how Kangaskhan might actually be Cubone's mother. Note the similarities between the skull covering Cubone's head and Kangaskhan's cranium, as well as how the tiny baby in Kangaskhan's pouch looks suspiciously like Cubone without the skull helmet.

Sadly, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense from an evolutionary standpoint (and we're talking Pokémon evolution, not Darwin here), so Kangaskhan and Cubone are officially two separate species. But it does make ya think.

Another problematic issue with Kangaskhan is that they're all female, so they need a male from another species in order to breed. Which is kinda weird.

Anyway, let's go catch one of these babies.

Where To Find Kangaskhan

If you've only got the base game of Sword & Shield, you can't find Kangaskhan anywhere. In order to get a Kangaskhan, you'll need to transfer one from Pokémon Home.

Expansion Pass owners will be able to find Kangaskhan aplenty on the Isle of Armor. Well, maybe not "aplenty" since they're still super rare. You can find Kangaskhan at Training Lowlands and Warm-Up Tunnel, but spawn rates are below 5% in both locations.

You can also catch Kangaskhan in Max Raid Battles at Challenge Beach, Courageous Cavern, Potbottom Desert, and Stepping-Stone Sea.

How To Evolve Kangaskhan

This one’s easy: Kangaskhan doesn’t evolve. Unless you go back to Sun & Moon, then Kangaskhan can Mega Evolve, but not in Sword & Shield.

What Kangaskhan Can Do In Battle

There's a rule in Pokémon: if you can learn Fake Out, you learn it. The move is basically free damage that your opponent can't avoid and can't prevent, and since Kangaskhan is Normal-type, Fake Out does extra damage. That's your first move.

Body Slam is your best non-Fake Out Normal-type move, and Kangaskhan's great speed and attack stats lend it to just picking a few alternate coverage moves to make it a sufficient threat. Crunch, Shadow Claw, Rock Side, and Drain Punch are all great options, along with any of the elemental Punches in either Fire, Ice, or Thunder.
