Pokemon Go Mega Kangaskhan weaknesses

Mega Kangaskhan is only weak to Fighting-type attacks in Pokemon Go.

You should prepare high-level Fighting-type counters and note that their damage output is boosted during cloudy in-game weather.

Power up your Fighting-type counters as close as possible to level 50 to deal maximum damage during the battle. Also, using Mega-evolved Pokemon boosts the offensive power of teammates with the same type as your Mega, making it easier to beat the Raid Boss.
