So, this has been a lead I've been using in UU for the last week or so and it's amazingly fun to use and surprisingly effective. It prays on frail leads and the Fake Out + Focus Punch + Sucker Punch combo is amazingly fun to use against set up leads and just in general. Couple this with counter and you have quite a fun set. Credit goes to SilverSable for showing me this lead. The only downside is that this set requires extremely good prediction to be successful :/. Doesn't look so great on paper but give it a try and you might be surprised.

<p>This Kangaskhan makes an excellent anti-lead in the UU metagame. Kanghaskan's solid attacking power coupled with its good defenses allow it to not only hit relatively hard but also use Counter quite effectively. While this set requires impeccable prediction to be useful, since a wrong use of Focus Punch or Sucker Punch can be fatal, when used correctly it can be quite an effective lead.</p>
<p>In the UU metagame, Kangaskhan is able to take on some of the most common leads such as Aerodactyl, Persian, Steelix, Electrode, and Swellow. Fake Out is a great starting move and with Scrappy not even ghosts are immune to it. Fake Out is also useful for breaking Focus Sash leads such as Aerodactyl and Electrode. Common status leads such as Persian, Purugly, and Banette are dealt heavy damage or are OHKO'd by Focus Punch while Kangaskhan's Lum Berry protects it from said status. Counter is for leads such as Steelix, Aerodactly, and Swellow who will be tempted to stay in and deal heavy damage only to be OHKO'd themselves by Counter.</p>
<p>The given Attack EVs are designed to allow Kangaskhan to take out most common set up leads, such as lead Stealth Rock Aerodactyl or Rain Dance Electrode; with Fake Out, Focus Punch, and then Sucker Punch. The remaining EVs are then allocated to HP and Defense and allow Kangaskhan to take most physical hits, barring Close Combat, and Counter them for an OHKO.</p>
