Mega Kangaskhan ex
Shiny Super Rare
Strengths
- Double-Punching Family delivers 120 total damage in a single turn at three colorless energy, bypassing type matchup restrictions entirely.
- If the first hit KOs, the second 40-damage hit immediately punishes the replacement Pokemon, maintaining offensive pressure without waiting a turn.
- Pokémon Center Lady and Cyrus provide healing and disruption that extend Mega Kangaskhan ex's longevity against faster opposing attackers.
Weaknesses
- Mega Kangaskhan ex is the only copy allowed; losing it is an instant loss because the opponent scores 3 points and wins immediately.Mega KO = lose
- Three colorless energy is a slow ramp compared to single-energy attackers; opponents with faster setup can KO before Mega Kangaskhan ex ever attacks.Tempo
- Zygarde ex (27% win rate) and Ho-Oh ex (29%) exploit the deck's setup time and punish the single-attacker strategy.Matchup

Key Moves & Abilities
Strategy Guide
Auto-generatedMega Kangaskhan ex attacks twice in one turn with Double-Punching Family, dealing 80 then 40 damage across two consecutive hits. The win condition is powering up Mega Kangaskhan ex and delivering 120 total damage across the double strike to KO targets in a single activation.
Open with Pichu on the bench for utility and deploy supporting Pokemon such as Oricorio while you draw aggressively with Professor's Research and Copycat. Ilima and Cyrus provide disruption to slow the opponent while you accumulate three colorless energy on Mega Kangaskhan ex. Once powered, Double-Punching Family hits the Active for 80 and then immediately hits again for 40, with the second hit targeting whichever Pokemon your opponent promotes if the first knockout happened. Greninja in flex builds adds additional damage output through the Froakie line for follow-up turns.
Damage Math
Active Pokemon, no KO on first hit
first hit 80 + second hit 40 = 120 total
Both hits land on the same target when no KO occurs on the first strike
How to Play
Ramp to Three Energy Using Bench Support
Use Professor's Research, Copycat, and Ilima to draw into energy each turn. Cyrus can stall the opponent while you build three colorless energy on Mega Kangaskhan ex. Rare Candy in flex builds accelerates the Greninja line so it can contribute while you wait to fully power the Mega.
Chain Double Hits to Punish Promotion
When Double-Punching Family KOs the Active Pokemon, the second 40-damage hit immediately follows against whatever your opponent promotes. This chains into a softened target your opponent must now bring up at low HP, letting a follow-up attacker finish without full-power investment.
How to Beat This Deck
Apply Damage Before Energy Accumulation
Mega Kangaskhan ex needs three colorless energy before it can attack. Any deck that can deal 180 damage across two turns before that threshold is met eliminates the win condition outright. Pressure the Active Onix or whatever is stalling in front.
Force the Mega into the Active Too Early
Using Sabrina or Cyrus to drag Mega Kangaskhan ex into the Active position before it has three energy strands it as a 180-HP wall that cannot attack. KO it then for 3 points and an immediate win.
Exploit the Low Bench Density
The top build runs only five Pokemon. A disruption supporter like Cyrus can strand a low-retreat benched Pokemon in front while Mega Kangaskhan ex sits behind it, unable to attack. This buys turns for your own setup.
