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.
