And it was nerfed in a way that didn't even affect what made it broken. Power-Up Punch still gave it +2, other moves with secondary effects still had doubled rolls, and Seismic Toss still wasn't affected by the damage decrease and continued doing 200 damage flat. So Mega Kangaskhan still dominated VGC throughout all of Gen 7 and had a usage rate higher than Mega Mewtwo X's in Smogon Ubers. Same with how Aerilate was a 30% boost in Gen 6, which got nerfed to a 20% boost in Gen 7. The biggest hit was Alolan Golem, whose ability had to fall in line as well when it could have really used the extra power. The actual Aerilate users in Mega Salamence and Mega Pinsir didn't care because just having Flying-type STAB, let alone Flying-type STAB off of really good Normal type staples, was enough for them.

Damage is a nice bonus but what it really does is invalidate focus sashes, allows you to put pressure on substitute sets after breaking subs, turns power up punch into an attacking swords dance, seismic toss is guaranteed 200hp of damage and nearly doubles the chance of secondary effects to happen such as body slam now has a 50% to paralyze crush claw has 70% drop defense by 1 stage and a 20% to drop by 2 stages.
@@tuskact4425Power Up Punch wasn't the reason it was banned, Seismic Toss was A clean 200 damage on every non Ghost was insane with not much counter play, most walls can outright be 2HKO by that with rocks up with no real way around that other than being a Ghost type (there weren't that many viable Ghost in XY besides Aegislash which was smacked hard by EQ) or having a massive HP pool, but those mons weren't Kangashkan answer regardless (you wouldn't consider Blissey or Wailord to counter Kangashkan as they falter to every other move, and Chansey is the definition of the Power Up Punching bag ). Kangashkan was just extremely restricting when it comes to defensive counter play, the fact it had basically a built in Serene Grace on top of it meaning Body Slam was very risky for offensive mons to switch into was just the cherry on top
Kangaskhan already gets Seismic toss though, and SD or Bulk Up is far outclassed by PuP because youre doing damage while getting 2 boosts. SD is +2 but you dont attack which could net you a safer set up in many situations, and bulk up is just +1 +1 because the baby doesnt boost from set up moves.
@@theknight1702 that to! Although now I’m struggling to find the sources that says the internal code for parental bond was changed with moves like PuP…maybe I’m just misremembering. Very possible!
Y’know, when you put them side by side, it’s insane how little the mega changes. Sure, baby Kanga hops out and grows up, but with momma Kanga, there’s literally nothing. No wonder why I wasn’t a fan of this Mega (outside of it being an obnoxiously dominant force)
I think the mother didn’t get a design change because they’re naturally strong. The stat boost is nothing but the mom not being weighed down by the baby. Probably saying that they’re strong enough as they are without a baby and don’t need to mega evolve
Eh, it doesnt really need sword dance as power up punch is basically sword dance with extra damage, unless you're facing ghost type. It just need to be able to learn it again. And trailblaze i guess lmao
I like Kangaskhan a lot but I feel like the design of the mega makes no sense. Only the baby gets mega’d, so what happens to a Kangaskhan that mega evolves without a baby? I wish Kangaskhan would have gotten some sort of dope design along with it’s baby
@@phoenixandy Firstly, both the mother and baby are Kangaskhans, so refer to them as "Kangaskhan Mother" and "Kangaskhan Child" when separately. Now then, if Mother didn't have the baby, they'd have to design her another Mega. With the route this Mega design took, the one thing they could've done to the Mother is to make her look slightly older, just like the Child.
TBH doesn't even need those moves, This mon already broken, seismic toss 2 hit KO's basically every Pokemon so you don't need to invest in Attack IV's and put it all in defensive bulk or max HP instead, Burn means nothing to this mon, and with Seismic toss, Rest, Sleep talk, Rock Tomb/Body Slam, oof...

Absolutely favorite mega ❤️
1.) It’s busted in competitive play
2.) Simple, but effective design
3.) Lil dude can fight with his mom now
Had an ability so broken that it was nerfed the very next generation
And also in Gen 7, Kangaskhan can't learn by TM Power-up Punch.
I can see why. It was one of the best abilities in the game!

Crazy how an extra half damage can turn a pretty niche mon into a monster capable of destroying the meta
It wasn't the extra damage that made it broken,it was the fact that power up punch is now an attacking sword dance

Tbh power up punch is better than sd if not hitting a rocky helmet or rough sking
Still kinda wished the mama Kangaskhan got a redesign for her mega. It's a little barren with only the baby getting a redesign.

Thanks for putting the music in the Description.
Momma Kangaskhan: So this is how you KO a legendary fire bird. You take a couple of big rock and throw at it.
Family is overpower can't defeat them
Imagine if it had access to trail blaze and power up punch at the same time
