Is Lickitung Good in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Playthrough?
Lickitung is a curiosity with low stats that doesn't evolve further in Let's Go. Normal typing gives it no standout matchups, and the stats can't keep up past mid-game. Hard to justify the team slot.

2 MethodsThe best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.
Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 29 |
| 25%one in four | 79 |
| 50%coin flip | 190 |
| 90%very likely | 630 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Let's Go Lickitung Best Moveset
Normal at 90 HP with 75/75 defenses and 55 Attack at 30 Speed. The moveset has some bulk but zero offensive output. No Lickilicky evolution exists in this format, so these stats are the ceiling. Nowhere close to competitive.
Best Build
Relaxed raises Defense and lowers Speed. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Yellow, then Pink. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
