ForPokemon GO’s 7th anniversary, Niantic is hosting a special in-game event, and during the event, players can head to the shop to purchase a ticket to access theAll-in-One #151 Masterwork Research. The research will not expire once someone purchases it, but it will take most players quite some time to complete the tasks, especially one in the first step. The main draw behind the Masterwork Research is to get to the second to last step, which rewards trainers with a Shiny Mew encounter.
The task in the first step that might give people issues is the one tocollect a Platinum Kanto Medal. To earn this medal, trainers will need to catch every single Pokemon from the Kanto Pokedex, consisting of 151 monsters,including legendaries like Mewtwo, Articuno, and Zapdos. This guide, in particular, will walk players through how tocatch Kangaskhan, one of the rarer Pokemon in the collection.

How to Get Kangaskhan in Pokemon GO (2023)
As of the time of writing,Kangaskan can be found as a wild encounter, but only in Australia. Indeed, the Normal-type Parent Pokemon is one of the four region-exclusive Kanto Pokemon, joining the likes of Farfetch’d, Tauros, and Mr. Mime. Farfetch’d is only available in eastern Asia; Tauros is in North America; and Mr. Mime is located in parts of Europe.
According toSerebii, the last time players outside of Australia had a chance toobtain Kangaskhanwas during a raid event in the spring of 2022, and then the Pokemon was able to be found in eggs in early 2021. There’s no telling when Kangaskan will appear next, so players must keep tuned to futurePokemon GOevents.
The only other option players have right now that live outside of Australiais to trade with a buddy. However, trading inPokemon GOis done locally, meaning that trainers can’t exchange Pokemon with someone far away from them. This means players will have to know someone living near them that’s also been to Australia, unfortunately.
To initiate a trade inPokemon GO, follow these directions:
