Although this is a Mega Raid, you will only need a few allies to battle with when it comes to defeating Mega Kangaskhan. For this specific Raid, it's best if you form a group of at least three to five Trainers to comfortably defeat Mega Kangaskhan.
The Trainers that you group up with for this Raid can be either in-person or joining remotely, but regardless, they should be relatively high-leveled and experienced players. This will ensure that your Raid group has several top-tier Mega Kangaskhan counters to battle with, allowing you to easily complete this Raid.
To help contribute to your Raid group's success and firepower in this Mega Raid, come to the Raid with a Mega Evolved or Primal Reverted Pokemon to battle with.
Doing this will power-up specific types of attacks used by both yourself and other players in your Raid group.
Mega Kangaskhan: Strengths And Weaknesses
Mega Kangaskhan is a sole Normal-type Pokemon, limiting the number of strengths and weaknesses that this Pokemon has on the battlefield.
There is only one type of attack that Mega Kangaskhan is resistant to: Ghost-type attacks. Attacks of this type will deal significantly less damage than those of any other type, so it is essential that you avoid the use of them in this Raid battle.
To take advantage of Mega Kangaskhan's only weakness, make sure that you're battling with Pokemon that are equipped with Fighting-type attacks. These types of attacks will perform exceptionally well in this battle, so make sure that you are coming with several Pokemon that have them.
On top of using Fighting-type attacks, activate the Same Type Attack Bonus by battling with Fighting-type Pokemon.
Matching the type of attack with the type of the Pokemon will result in an increase in the move's overall effectiveness.
