Lickilicky Guide
For X & Y, we rate Lickilicky C-Tier: a niche pick in X & Y's meta. At 515 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Body Slam with Leftovers is the standard set.
In X & Y, 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.
In X & Y, run Body Slam, Knock Off, Protect, and Toxic on Lickilicky. Body Slam is the most common pick at 25% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
