Whenever Lickitung comes across something new, it will unfailingly give it a lick. It does so because it memorizes things by texture and by taste. It is somewhat put off by sour things.
Lickitung Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Lickitung isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Lickilicky to unlock its full potential. At 385 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Lickitung's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 30 Speed, Lickitung won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Own Tempo is the go-to ability for Lickitung. It prevents confusion. Its hidden ability Cloud Nine can work in specific setups. Oblivious is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Lickitung fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 55 Attack. Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Lickitung does the job early-game if you need a Normal type on your team. Evolve it into Lickilicky before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.
Game Availability
