PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Lick is slightly superior than Zen Headbutt due to how fast the move is. Both moves are comparable in damage, but Lick allows Lickitung to dodge more.  

• Body Slam is great for neutral damage, and has the advantage of being 3-bars.

• Power Whip has some solid advantages due to being 2-bar and having good power but lacks STAB and synergy. 

• Hyper Beam is the most powerful option, but Lickitung might faint before it gets to use it. 

• Stomp is inferior.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Zen Headbutt has the counter coverage for Fighting-type, and double the defensive dps over Lick.

• Body Slam is the best charge move for defense as a 3-bar move, and is superior to Stomp. 

• Power Whip is decent for defense, but doesn't get STAB and its coverage isn't particularly valuable for Lickitung. 

• Hyper Beam is too slow and easy to dodge.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Lick + Body Slam* and Power Whip

Lick is the only real option available. Zen Headbutt is very bad for PvP. 

Body Slam is a legacy move from Lickitung's raid event, but is also the most valuable due to its respectable STAB damage output and low energy cost. Power Whip provides Lickitung valuable Grass-type coverage to handle the many Water- and Ground-types in Great League.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 4.5 / 5 

Previously outclassed due to its low max CP, XL Candy turns Lickitung from a meme into potentially the best Lick/Body Slam user in the format. With Azumarill-level bulk and actually relevant secondary coverage in Power Whip, Lickitung is a very real threat, and one worth considering adding to your team if you can get the candy.

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Lickitung doesn't have the stats to compete outside of Great League. 

Master League: 0 / 5

Lickitung might look like a juicy snack for all the dragons and dinosaurs in Master League.
