Lickilicky Platinum 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. 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 Platinum, run Explosion, Curse, Icepunch, and Rest on Lickilicky. Explosion is the most common pick at 0% usage. Explosion provides reliable STAB damage. Curse lets it set up before sweeping.
