Unveiling the Ultimate Guide to Catching Kangaskhan in Pokémon GO

To celebrate the 7th anniversary of Pokemon GO, Niantic is organizing a special in-game event. Players are given the opportunity to purchase a ticket from the shop to participate in the All-in-One #151 Masterwork Research. Once purchased, the research will not expire, but it will require a significant amount of time for most players to complete, particularly due to a challenging task in the first step. The highlight of the Masterwork Research lies in reaching the second to last step, where trainers will be rewarded with an encounter with a Shiny Mew.

One task that may pose a challenge for players in the first step is the requirement to obtain a Platinum Kanto Medal. To earn this prestigious medal, trainers must catch every Pokemon listed in the Kanto Pokedex, which consists of 151 creatures, including legendary Pokemon such as Mewtwo, Articuno, and Zapdos. This guide specifically focuses on assisting players in catching Kangaskhan, which is considered one of the more elusive Pokemon in the collection.

How to Get Kangaskhan in Pokemon GO (2023)

Kangaskan is currently only available as a wild encounter in Australia. This Normal-type Parent Pokemon is one of the region-exclusive Kanto Pokemon, along with Farfetch'd, Tauros, and Mr. Mime. Farfetch'd can only be found in eastern Asia, Tauros in North America, and Mr. Mime in select parts of Europe.

According to Serebii, the last opportunity for players outside of Australia to obtain Kangaskhan was during a raid event in spring 2022, with the Pokemon also being available in eggs in early 2021. There is no information available regarding when Kangaskan will be available again, so players should stay tuned to future Pokemon GO events.

In a disappointing turn of events for players residing outside of Australia, the only alternative available to them at present is to engage in trading with a fellow companion. Unfortunately, Pokemon GO restricts trading to a local setting, making it impossible for trainers to exchange their beloved creatures with individuals located remotely. As a consequence, players are compelled to seek out someone in close proximity who is not only residing nearby, but has also had the opportunity to visit Australia.

To initiate a trade in Pokemon GO, follow these directions:

At the map screen, go to your profile.

Tab Friends and open the Friend List.

Choose the friend to trade with.

Tap on the Trade button.

Stardust will need to be spent. If the trade is considered to be 'special,' it'll cost even more Stardust.

A Special Trade refers to a Pokemon that is not currently registered in the player's Pokedex, including Legendary Pokemon, Shiny Pokemon, Ultra Beasts, or Pokemon with unregistered forms. Pokemon GO can be accessed on mobile devices.
