Lickitung

Lickitung has many desirable traits among OU Swords Dance users that make it stand out from the crowd. These include STAB Body Slam, Hyper Beam, and Wrap, all the physical and special coverage it could ever want, and bulk roughly on par with Tauros. Unfortunately, its wide movepool and STAB Hyper Beam are let down by its abysmal base 55 Attack, making its STAB moves no more powerful than any other Swords Dance user's non-STAB attacks, and its awful base 30 Speed ties it for the slowest fully evolved Pokemon in the entire game. Lickitung is very easy to play around once paralyzed, making it extremely risky to stay in on anything that can paralyze it.

Nearly every unique trait Lickitung has is eclipsed by another Pokemon. Its role as a Swords Dance user with Wrap is taken by Victreebel, its Water-type coverage is done better by Kabutops and Kingler, and its ability to hit Gengar with Earthquake is outclassed by Sandslash's STAB Earthquake. Its only redeeming traits are its STAB Hyper Beam and that, unlike other Swords Dance users, it has no blatant defensive weaknesses thanks to its decent bulk and strong Normal typing, which has no common weaknesses and allows it to avoid Body Slam paralysis. Although Lickitung has many positive traits as an OU Swords Dance user, its positives are heavily outweighed by its negatives, making it extremely impractical and difficult to use.
