The Next Best Thing - Sawk [Voting]

Regardless, bulky Psychic types run train over the set as is, and it relies on Sucker Punch to hit them--and they very well may not be attacking you, so this is a bit unreliable.

This is where Endeavor comes in, as it brings Musharna down to 1HP. If you have sub up or if they decide to do something dumb like CM, you can easily dispatch them next turn however you like. This allows Kangaskhan to not only hit like a truck with Reversal, it also overcomes it's hardest counters by making them extremely easy to revenge.
 
I've tried sd reversal zangoose and reversal kanga on lolzy teams... they dont really work, especially if you do not have satb to rely on. Return would be your best 4th option for the moveset. Also,
Posts with substitute and toxic have already been tossed around, but combining both is where it's at.
If you read the previous sets, both myself and Nicolaibalu utilized sub/toxic prior to your post!

Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think about that. Seems like a really cool idea, and I'd love to see it in practice. :]

I literally saw this thing shut down so many 'mons, like Musharna and Alomomola. Shuckleking87 comes in in a close second, but I prefer having practically 2 sets in 1. The rest of the sets are good though, so props to everyone for that :)
 
Nicolaibalu

All of the sets are interesting, and none of them are bad. This one stuck out to me as the most interesting and the one I would most enjoy playing with.
 
Shuckleking87

I love the idea of disabling an opponent and playing mindgames as they switch out (with Focus Punch for that raw power, or Toxic to cripple any wall that stands in your team's way.) Kudos to all the guys who remembered Disable; it's one of those nifty moves you only ever see on Gengar and Haunter.

close with Shuckleking87 set, but i find better Focus Punch and Return over Toxic and Double Edge (Ex: Musharna Synchronize, when you actually beats Musharna mono attacker via PP stall)
 
Work Up Kangaskhan wasn't the only one I saw on the ladder today, I saw a Toxic one too :D (although it wasn't nearly as problematic). Double-Edge not being able to kill Kangaskhan anyway makes me feel a little bit better.

My vote goes to kakuna
 
No love for the next best thing queen, except from me :) flcl's set makes the most sense for me, priority, hitting hard and damaging physical pokes. Lack of recovery is only unfortunate part of this set.
