Is it Adamant or Jolly? 252/252 is not always optimal, but you can run it with a Jolly nature if you want to outspeed non-maxed speed M-Kangs.
The common moveset is:
Fake Out
Sucker Punch
PowerUp Punch
Return/Double Edge
Howewer, this moveset can change if you have particular requirements:
Do you have at least one pokemon who can manage to kill another M-Kangaskhan? If not, replace PowerUp Punch for Low Kick to deal with opponent's M-Kangs.
Do you have a faster Fake Out user in your team? Then you could replace Fake Out for Protect.
Do you have a support pokemon who can redirect attacks? Then you can run Double-Edge over Return and accept the risk of recoil.
If your team lacks Ground coverage you shouldn't sacrifice a slot on your M-Kang, but find an alternative (such as to add a new pokemon)
Drain Punch is an option if your anwser to the first question is Yes and you are running Double-Edge too.

Fake Out is more than an option using Jolly nature, since you can outspeed Adamant Kang's Fake Out (that is huge), shut down a dangerous threat for 1 turn to setup or attack with your other pokemon and put some pressure on every switch in of your M-Kang.
I don't think running both Drain Punch and PowerUp Punch is a good idea. Just choose one of those two.. Drain Punch is a reliable move that can OHKO many threats but useless when you get burned. PowerUp Punch offers a way to avoid W-o-W spams but you must be wise using it, because you almost give a free turn, but in some situations you can get also free +1 or +2 boosts finishing off low health opponents with this move.

I personally run an Adamant Khan, but with a Jolly Khan you also outspeed other M-Khans Sucker Punch which could potentially neutralize the opponent's Khan for a turn.

As stated, no need for power up punch and drain punch. Otherwise, your set is standard.
