Pokemon GO players have direct access to numerous Mega Evolutions, and the in-game Mega raids are an excellent opportunity to get powerful Mega Shiny variants. The developers at Niantic rotate the raid bosses regularly, and Mega Kangaskhan is in the current lineup. Mega Kangaskhan is a Mega raid boss, and winning against it offers a chance to acquire Shiny Mega Kangaskhan.
Trainers can get Shiny Kangaskhan and Shiny Mega Kangaskhan through Mega Kangaskhan raids, but defeating the boss requires thorough preparation. Mega Kangaskhan is a Normal-type Mega Evolution with a balanced stat spread and a maximum Pokemon GO Combat Power of 4353. Shiny Mega Kangaskhan falls under some of the most sought-after monsters, and this guide explains the best method to get it.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Mega Kangaskhan Through Mega Raids
Although Shiny Mega Kangaskhan is available in Pokemon GO, one has to first defeat the raid boss, get a Shiny Kangaskhan, and later, Mega Evolve it into a Shiny Mega Kangaskhan. It takes proper meta-knowledge and a battle roster full of powerful counters to win against Mega Kangaskhan raids. One should avoid attempting the Mega Kangaskhan raid solo and team up with other players to fortify the chances of victory.
Obtaining a Shiny Mega Kangaskhan is challenging as it ranks among the game’s rarest and most powerful monsters. Players must acquire a Shiny Kangaskhan and then initiate the Pokemon GO Mega Evolution process.
Once the raid boss is defeated, there is a possibility of Shiny Kangaskhan spawning nearby. The critical thing to note is that the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed; while some players may encounter Shiny Kangaskhan, others may not. Players have to win multiple Mega raids and encounter numerous Kangaskhan to match its Shiny odds.
Mega Kangaskhan is only weak to Fighting-type moves in Pokemon GO but can resist Ghost-type moves. One can also trigger the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) to deal bonus damage output against Mega Kangaskhan. This STAB effect activates when the move’s type matches the monster’s innate typing. Choose counters with STAB potential moves and align them with the raid boss’s weaknesses.
