LickitungFirered Leafgreen #37 Pokémon Card

Lickitung is a Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I, known for its remarkably long and prehensile tongue, which it uses for everything from exploring its surroundings to cleaning itself. This unevolved Pokémon is characterized by its large, pink body and the constant presence of its tongue, which is twice the length of its body. Lickitung's natural habitat often includes grassy areas and forests, where it can be found using its sticky saliva and strong tongue to catch insects or taste its environment. In the Pokémon games and anime, Lickitung is often depicted as a somewhat clumsy but endearing character, capable of mimicking sounds and movements. It is perhaps most famously known as one of Jessie's Pokémon in the anime, where its quirky nature provided many memorable moments. Its unique anatomy and behavior, particularly its signature tongue, have made it a recognizable and somewhat iconic Pokémon since its debut. Lickitung evolves into Lickilicky when traded while holding a Protector, though this evolution was introduced in Generation IV. Its Normal typing gives it a single weakness to Fighting-type moves and a resistance to Ghost-type moves, making it a versatile addition to many teams, especially in early generations.
