: It raises its offspring in its belly pouch. It lets the baby out to play only when it feels safe.
: If it is safe, the young gets out of the belly pouch to play. The adult keeps a close eye on the youngster.
: If you come across a young Kangaskhan playing by itself, you must never disturb it or attempt to catch it. The baby Pokémon’s parent is sure to be in the area, and it will become violently enraged at you.

: Kangaskhan’s maternal love is so deep that it will brave death to protect its offspring.
: The child in its pouch leaves home after roughly three years. That is the only time the mother is heard to cry wildly.
: Kangaskhan protects its child by keeping it in its pouch. It has zero forgiveness for those who harm its child and will beat them down.
: You shouldn’t get close to the child when it’s playing outside its mother’s pouch. Its mother is always nearby watching over it.
