Base Stats
It checks out whatever’s around it by licking everything. If you don’t clean off a spot where it’s licked you, you’ll break out in a rash!
It licks filth clean with its tongue. Whatever it licks always stinks afterward, so whether it’s really clean is...questionable.
Lickitung Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Lickitung fills the support 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
