LickitungMajestic Dawn #39 Pokémon Card

Lickitung is a Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I, known for its extraordinarily long and sticky tongue. This unique appendage, which is twice its body length, serves as its primary tool for exploration, combat, and even grooming. Lickitung is a rather solitary Pokémon, often found in grassy areas or forests, where it uses its tongue to capture insects and other small prey, as well as to investigate its surroundings by coating objects in its potent saliva. Its tongue is so adept that it can be used for intricate tasks, almost like a hand, and its powerful stickiness ensures nothing escapes its grasp once touched. In the anime, Lickitung is notably featured as one of Jessie's Pokémon in the original series, showcasing its playful yet sometimes mischievous nature. It evolves into Lickilicky when traded while holding a Protector, a later-generation evolution that further emphasizes its tongue-based abilities. Despite its somewhat comical appearance, Lickitung's distinctive characteristics have made it a memorable part of the Pokémon universe, representing the diverse and often peculiar adaptations found within the franchise. Its Normal typing means it has few natural type advantages or disadvantages, making its unique tongue its most defining combat trait.
