What this card does

Mega Kangaskhan ex is a huge 300 HP Basic Pokémon. While it is in the Active Spot, it draws you two extra cards each turn, acting as a built-in hand-refill engine that keeps options flowing.

It can also attack for big numbers, with damage decided by coin flips. The trade-off is the MEGA rule: if the opponent knocks it out, they take three Prize cards instead of the usual two, which can swing a game fast.

Signature ability

Run Errand

Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, you may use this Ability. Draw 2 cards. You can't use more than 1 Run Errand Ability each turn.

Once a turn, if Mega Kangaskhan ex is your Active Pokémon, Run Errand lets you draw 2 cards. That is a steady, free top-up to your hand without spending any other card. It matters because reliable draw is one of the hardest things to get in a deck, and this builds it right into your attacker.

Which deck it belongs in

It fits the Raging Bolt ex deck as a sturdy Active Pokémon that keeps the hand full while the team charges up its big hitters.

Strengths
  • Very high 300 HP, hard to knock out
  • Draws 2 cards every turn for free
  • Big attack with coin-flip upside
  • Tough wall in the Active Spot
Watch out for
  • Gives up 3 Prize cards when knocked out, a big swing
  • Run Errand only works while it is Active, so it must stay in front
  • The attack relies on luck, so damage is unpredictable
  • A favourite target for the opponent because of the 3 Prizes

Pairs well with

Free retreat lets you swap it out of harm's way before it is knocked out.

Pro tip

Keep it Active to draw with Run Errand, but switch it to the Bench once it is hurt, because losing it hands over three Prizes at once.

From the Pokédex

Kangaskhan carries its baby in its pouch, and in its Mega form the baby joins the fight, which is why this card is all about doing two things at once.

Note for the parent

A MEGA ex gives up three Prize cards when knocked out, which is a real risk, so it suits an older or more experienced child. These cards can also be pricier as chase rarities.
