How to catch Kangaskhan in Pokemon Go

Kangaskhan can primarily be found in Australia. Given its resemblance to a kangaroo, it’s not much of a shock that Kangaskhan spawns in an area well-known for its large swaths of kangaroos.

The reason for this is because Kangaskhan is a regional-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon Go, This means it can be only found in one specific region in the world as a wild encounter.

Unless one lives or visits Australia, it’s highly unlikely that a player outside of that region will encounter a Kangaskhan. However, that doesn’t mean it is impossible.

Occasionally, several regional-exclusive Pokemon can be found in the wild thanks to special events, like Pokemon Go Fest or the game’s annual Tour events. Raid Days are also another option, provided that Niantic holds one that features Kangaskhan or Mega Kangaskhan in the future.

Pokemon Go players will be in luck come August 12-21, 2024. During that span, Mega Kangaskhan will be in Mega Raids.

Alternatively, one could also attempt to find a friend to trade with in order to get a Kangaskhan.
