Generation IV · #0463 — Licking Pokémon
Lickilicky, the Licking Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV that stands as the evolved form of Lickitung. With a National Pokédex number of 463, this rotund creature represents one of the most peculiar and memorable designs in the franchise, distinguished primarily by its extraordinarily long, saliva-coated tongue. Standing at 1.7 meters tall and weighing 140 kilograms, Lickilicky possesses a bulky frame that belies its surprising dexterity with its signature appendage. As a pure Normal-type, Lickilicky maintains relatively balanced statistics with a total base stat of 515, emphasizing its survivability through respectable HP (110), Defense (95), and Special Defense (95), though its Speed is notably low at only 50, making it a slower combatant despite its versatility.

Lickilicky Biology & Physical Characteristics
Lickilicky's most distinctive biological feature is its exceptionally long, constantly moist tongue, which has been recorded to stretch beyond 82 feet in length—a remarkable feat that far exceeds its own body dimensions. This dark pink Pokémon displays a white bib-like pattern across its chest and features a characteristic yellow line pattern running along its belly, with a small curled appendage adorning its head. The biological marvel of Lickilicky lies in the composition of its saliva, which contains powerful solvents capable of decomposing virtually any substance it contacts, inducing a persistent numbness that does not easily dissipate. According to Pokédex entries, Lickilicky has evolved specialized throat anatomy that allows it to store considerable amounts of saliva, and remarkably, it can roll up and compress its lengthy tongue into this same space, demonstrating remarkable internal adaptability. The saliva itself serves multiple functions—it acts as both a defensive mechanism and a tool for capturing prey, making Lickilicky a formidable predator despite its somewhat comical appearance.

Lickilicky Breeding, Gender Ratio & Egg Groups
Lickilicky exhibits a standard 50/50 gender ratio, with equal probability of encountering male or female individuals in the wild or among bred offspring. The Pokémon belongs to the Monster egg group, which it shares with various other bulky, creature-like Pokémon, and has a hatch counter of 20 cycles, translating to approximately 4,884 to 5,140 steps for an egg to hatch—a moderate timeframe typical of many evolved Pokémon. The breeding process for Lickilicky is complicated by the fact that any offspring will be Lickitung eggs, as Lickilicky does not breed true; trainers seeking Lickilicky through breeding must evolve hatched Lickitung using the Rollout requirement. The base friendship value of 70, maintained through Generation VII before being adjusted, indicates that Lickilicky as a caught Pokémon begins with moderate affection toward its trainer, a value that can significantly increase through careful treatment, battling, and item usage. Female Lickilicky, while statistically identical to their male counterparts, may hold particular value in breeding programs aimed at establishing multiple evolved Pokémon lines.

lickilicky's Evolution Chain
Lickilicky Evolution, Mega Evolution & Special Forms
Lickilicky evolves from Lickitung through a specific mechanical requirement introduced in Generation IV: the Lickitung must learn the move Rollout before leveling up to trigger the evolution. This evolution method represents an interesting departure from simple level-based evolutions and emphasizes the connection between move mastery and Pokémon growth, thematically suggesting that Lickitung's development into Lickilicky represents a maturation of its combat capabilities. The evolution causes a modest increase across most of Lickilicky's base statistics compared to its pre-evolved form, with HP rising from 66 to 110, Attack improving from 54 to 85, Defense strengthening from 75 to 95, Special Attack increasing from 62 to 80, and Special Defense jumping from 75 to 95, while Speed remains relatively unchanged at 50. This stat distribution shift emphasizes Lickilicky's transformation into a bulkier, more defensively capable Pokémon, better suited to sustained battles rather than quick offensive strikes. The evolution reflects Lickitung's journey toward becoming a more formidable version of itself, with its saliva becoming even more potent and its tongue control further refined.

Lickilicky Behaviour and Natural Habitat
Lickilicky is known for its voracious appetite and indiscriminate eating habits, using its tongue with far greater skill and precision than it employs its hands or feet, allowing it to deftly pick up objects as small as individual beans with remarkable accuracy. These Pokémon inhabit forested regions featuring large bodies of water, where their aquatic proximity likely contributes to their moisture-laden existence. The creature's behavioral patterns reveal a competitive nature, as evidenced by the contests documented in various Pokédex entries where Lickilicky compete to determine which individual can extend its tongue the farthest—a peculiar but apparently common pastime among the species. Despite the dexterity it demonstrates with its tongue, Lickilicky proves rather clumsy when attempting to manipulate objects with its actual fingers and limbs, suggesting an evolutionary trade-off where specialized tongue development has somewhat compromised manual dexterity. The Pokémon's base friendship value of 70 indicates a moderately friendly disposition toward trainers, though its slobbering nature and saliva-based attacks require careful handling.

Lickilicky Name Origin & Design Inspiration
The name Lickilicky derives directly from its signature characteristic—the "lick" combined with a diminutive or affectionate suffix pattern common in Pokémon nomenclature, creating a name that immediately communicates the creature's defining trait. In its Japanese designation, Berobelt (ベロベルト), the "bero" component references the tongue (舌, shita), while the "belt" portion likely references its stout, belt-like body shape, creating a more onomatopoetic and form-descriptive name. The design itself appears inspired by the original Lickitung's concept but amplified and refined—where Lickitung resembles a simpler creature dominated by its tongue, Lickilicky presents a more complete, rounded organism that has matured into fuller physical development. The creature's coloration—a dark pink body with white bib-like markings and yellow belly stripes—gives it an almost pudgy, endearing quality despite its genuinely dangerous saliva. Its small curled appendage on its head may reference decorative or sensory structures, adding visual interest to an otherwise blob-like silhouette and preventing the design from becoming monotonous.

Lickilicky Competitive Battle Guide
In competitive Pokémon battles, Lickilicky serves as a moderately viable bulky Normal-type option, with its dual defensive typing advantages and respectable HP (110) and defensive stats (95 Defense and Special Defense each) allowing it to function as a defensive wall. Its three ability options provide distinct competitive niches: Own Tempo prevents the common confusion status effect, Oblivious blocks infatuation and protects against the Captivate move, while the hidden ability Cloud Nine passively negates all weather effects without preventing their activation—a valuable utility in weather-dependent metagames. With a total base stat of 515, Lickilicky occupies a tier below many commonly used Pokémon but remains viable in lower-tier competitive formats such as PU or UU tiers depending on the generation. Its movepool provides solid coverage options including status moves like Curse and Thunder Wave, physical attacks such as Return and Body Slam, and special moves like Focus Blast through TMs, allowing for mixed set construction. The primary limitation remains its abysmal Speed of 50, necessitating either Trick Room support or serious investment in Speed-reducing Natures and EV distributions; consequently, Lickilicky typically benefits from Choice Scarf sets or Speed-reducing held items to mitigate this weakness.

Lickilicky Cultural Impact & Franchise History
Lickilicky represents an interesting example of Pokémon evolution design that prioritizes personality and humor over power creep, becoming memorable more for its distinctive aesthetics and unusual mechanics than for competitive dominance. The creature's peculiar nature—a Pokémon whose primary weapon is essentially its saliva—has endeared it to fans who appreciate Pokémon designs that subvert typical monster archetypes and embrace absurdism. In the animated series, Lickilicky has made notable appearances that emphasize its comedic slobbering nature and unpredictable behavior, contributing to the franchise's broader appeal to audiences seeking humor alongside traditional monster-battling content. The Rollout evolution requirement established a precedent for move-based evolutions that would be revisited in subsequent generations, demonstrating Game Freak's willingness to experiment with evolution mechanics beyond simple level-based thresholds. Lickilicky's cultural presence extends through merchandise, trading cards where it appears with various artistic interpretations of its notable features, and fan communities that celebrate the Pokémon despite or perhaps because of its unconventional design compared to more traditionally intimidating alternatives.
Where to Find Lickilicky in Every Pokémon Game
Lickilicky's availability varies significantly across generations and game versions. In Generation IV Sinnoh games, Lickilicky appears in the regional Pokédex as entry 162 in Diamond and Pearl, and entry 181 in Platinum, with Lickitung available through various methods and evolution contingent on learning Rollout. HeartGold and SoulSilver utilize Johto dex placement, while Black 2 and White 2 incorporate Lickilicky into their updated Pokédex as entry 285. In later generations, Lickilicky remains available through various means: it appears in the Mountain Kalos region in X and Y (entry 135), the Alola dex in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (entry 376), Legends: Arceus' Sinnoh regional Pokédex (entry 126), and The Isle of Armor DLC content for Sword and Shield (entry 055). The Pokémon's catch rate of 30 indicates moderate difficulty when attempting wild captures, requiring sustained effort during encounters. While Lickilicky can be obtained through breeding Lickitung or evolving wild Lickitung upon learning Rollout, its consistent availability across multiple game generations and regions ensures that dedicated trainers can reliably obtain one through various legitimate gameplay methods.
