Lickilicky Weakness

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.

Platinum Lickilicky Best Moveset

Adamant nature gives Lickilicky the physical lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Leftovers adds passive recovery each turn, max HP and Attack EVs split the difference, and the remaining moves punishes anything trying to wall it. Rest keeps it topped off between trades.

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Lickilicky won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 12 types means it always has an effective option. Explosion and Giga Impact anchor the STAB core.

Lickilicky Guide

  • For Platinum, we rate Lickilicky C-Tier: a niche pick in Platinum's meta. At 515 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Explosion with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Platinum, 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.

  • For Platinum, Lickilicky has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fighting-type attackers hit hardest.

Game Availability

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.
