THIS POKÉMON'S SPECIAL BASE STAT IN GENERATION I WAS 40. NAME ORIGIN
KANGASKHAN MAY BE A COMBINATION OF KANGAROO AND KHAN.
IT MAY ALSO REFER PARTICULARLY TO GENGHIS KHAN, WHO WAS THE NOTORIOUSLY VIOLENT FOUNDER AND EMPEROR OF THE MONGOL EMPIRE. THIS IS POSSIBLY A REFERENCE TO ITS POKÉDEX DATA, WHICH SAYS IT BECOMES "VIOLENTLY ENRAGED" WHEN IT PROTECTS ITS CHILD.
GARURA IS DERIVED FROM カンガルー (KANGAROO) AND ルーラー (RULER).
