Mega Kangaskhan ex Deck Strategy Guide

Support With Pokemon That Can Attack From The Bench

Mega Kangaskhan is best paired with Pokemon that can deal damage from the Bench. Use Pokemon like Greninja or Darkrai ex to lower the HP of Pokemon so they are within range of Mega Kangaskhan's damage. You can also use them to gust out Pokemon that can be OHKO'd by Mega Kangaskhan using Cyrus.

Use Ilima to Place Mega Kangakashan ex Back in Your Hand

When Mega Kangaskhan ex is close to getting KOd, you can use Ilima to scoop it back in your hand. Putting Pokemon back in your hand removes all damage from them, but will discard their Energy. Be sure to set up Mega Kangaskhan ex's Energy while it's Benched before sending it into the Active Spot.

How to Beat Mega Kangaskhan ex Decks

Force Mega Kangaskhan Out of the Active Spot

Force Mega Kangaskhan ex out of the Active Spot using cards like Sabrina, Cyrus, and Repel, so you can target Pokemon who are easier to KO.

Remove Mega Kangaskhan ex's Energy

Mega Kangaskhan ex has a steep 3 Energy Cost, so using cards that can discard Energy can keep it from attacking.
