Kangaskhan (F) @ Silk Scarf
Trait: Scrappy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Drain Punch
- Fake Out
- Sucker Punch

The standard Kangaskhan set but with a Silk Scarf instead of Life Orb. Seeing as many people tend to switch into something that can take a Fake Out(and sometimes other moves) really well, it is just a waste to have 10% of your HP deducted whenever you use it. That is where the Silk Scarf comes into play.

Although you have less power when you use Silk Scarf compared to Life Orb, the fact that you don't lose 10% of your HP every move is good enough reason to use it. With a Silk Scarf, you will deal almost the same amount of damage and your longevity will be prolonged.
