Strategy Overview

Lickilicky's movepool, like his tongue, stretches out to the horizon. His Speed may be poor, but his great HP and decent other stats help compensate for it. These factors combine to make Lickilicky a fine contender who can tank, support, and dish out damage--albeit only performing one of these jobs at a time. Lickilicky isn't bog standard because Clefable is running around UU. Clefable has a way more useful ability in Magic Guard and has reliable recovery in Soft-Boiled, all the while having a movepool that makes Lickilicky's look like a mere puddle.

However, that should not deter you from choosing Lickilicky for your team. If you want to use Lickilicky, try to make him different from Snorlax or Clefable. Knock Off, Wish, Heal Bell, Swords Dance, and the mighty Explosion are all assets that help differentiate Lickilicky from the aforementioned walls. Explosion will most likely be a factor in any Lickilicky set that you use or battle against, so always keep that in mind when dealing with him.
