Lickitung

Lickitung is a good defensive Pokemon in the tier thanks to its acceptable mixed defenses, its great defensive typing, and, most importantly, its access to two invaluable cleric options in Wish and Heal Bell. It can easily utilize both physically and specially defensive sets, depending on your team's needs, although it has a tougher time going mixed, as its bulk is just not quite there to allow for it. Unfortunately for Lickitung, it is yet another defensive Pokemon in NU that's weak to Hitmonchan, decreasing its effectiveness slightly as a physically defensive Pokemon. Despite that, Lickitung is a Pokemon to strongly consider on defensive teams looking for role compression.
