Bulk defines Lickilicky's stat line. HP and Defense anchor the defensive side, but Speed can't keep up offensively. Tough to catch and worth 3 HP EVs.
Its tongue can extend and contract freely, and it is capable of reaching lengths over 10 times Lickilicky’s height. Beware of the saliva, as it contains corrosive elements.
Lickilicky's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Lickilicky's overall bulk (110/95/95) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

We rate Lickilicky C-Tier: a situational pick that fills a niche. At 515 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Base 110 HP stands out.
Watch for Lucario (Fighting) when using Lickilicky. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Lickilicky has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Own Tempo prevents confusion. That's the one you want on Lickilicky. Cloud Nine is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Oblivious works too if your team needs something different.
Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Lickilicky is a physical attacker with base 85 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
Lickilicky has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fighting-type attackers hit hardest.
Available in 12 titles since its debut in Diamond & Pearl, Lickilicky spans 7 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in a solid number of games.
