Overview
########
Being the only Pokemon with access to STAB Explosion other than Smeargle, Lickilicky isn't good just for that reason. It has good defensive stats with 110 HP and base 95 in both Defense and Special Defense, and access to Wish along with a big HP stat gives it a good way of recovery, and makes it a good supporting option, being able to pass big Wishes to its teammates. Thanks to its ability, Oblivious, it's also immune to Taunt, meaning nothing can stop it from using Wish or Protect. Lickilicky also has a biglarge movepool with colorful offensive and supportive options such as the aforementioned Wish, Heal Bell, Body Slam, Fire Blast and Fire Punch, Thunderbolt, Knock Off, Dragon Tail, Curse, Seismic Toss, and of course, Explosion. However, with such a big movepool comes a slight four-moveslot syndrome. Additionally, it faces competition from Aromatisse as a Wish passer with Aromatherapy support, but having access to Dragon Tail and Knock Off separate it from Aromatisse, as well as having more bulk in general.

Wish
########
name: Wish
move 1: Wish
move 2: Protect
move 3: Heal Bell / Knock Off
move 4: Knock Off / Dragon Tail
ability: Oblivious
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
nature: Careful

Moves
========
Wish is used as a means of recovery for Lickilicky, and it's also used to support teammates with Lickilicky's large HP stat. Protect gives Lickilicky a guaranteed turn of Wish and Leftovers recovery, as well as scouting the opponent's move. The choice between Heal Bell and Knock Off ultimately depends on Lickilicky's teammates; if another Pokemon has Heal Bell or Aromatherapy, then Knock Off and Dragon Tail should be used. Otherwise, Heal Bell and one of Knock Off or Dragon Tail is preferred, to let Lickilicky act as a cleric. Knock Off is a good utility move that annoys a number of Pokemon and doesn't allow them to switch into Lickilicky for free, while Dragon Tail is used to phaze the opponent's team and rack up residual damage with the help of entry hazards. It also prevents Pokemon from setting up. Body Slam can be used as a reliable STAB move and it can help spread paralysis, while Seismic Toss can provide consistent damage.

Set Details
========
Maximum HP EVs are used to have overall better bulk and bigger Wishes to pass, with maximum Special Defense investment and a Careful nature to take on threatening Pokemon such as Delphox, Moltres, and Yanmega. Leftovers is the item of choice for passive recovery, and goes nicely with Protect for an extra turn of HP gain.

Usage Tips
========
Lickilicky can comfortably switch into the tier's most threatening special attackers without much trouble, and threaten them with any of the attacking moves it has, such as Knock Off, which removes items likesuch as Life Orb and Choice Specs and cripples the opponent's Pokemon, Body Slam for its STAB and 30% chance of paralysis, or Seismic Toss for the consistent damage. Beware of Pokemon that carry a Choice item and Switcheroo or Trick, as Lickilicky doesn't appreciate that. Wish can be used whenever Lickilicky needs recovery, or whenever another teammate needs it, and Protect can be used to guarantee the Wish. THowever, the opponent can easily exploit an obvious Protect after Wish though, and use the opportunity to set up or get a free switch. All of Lickilicky's attacking moves—Knock Off, Dragon Tail, Seismic Toss, and Body Slam—are spammable and withoutdo not have many drawbacks, unless the opponent's Pokemon is immune to them. Additionally, using Dragon Tail when entry hazards are on the field is preferred, to shuffle the opponent's team and rack up residual damage.

Team Options
========
When talking about teammates for Lickilicky, the first thing that should popup in anyone's mind is a Pokemon that resists Fighting-type rmovesist, and as such, Granbull makes a fine teammate. Its Fairy typing along with Intimidate allows it to easily switch into most Fighting-types with ease and KO them or threaten them out. Additionally, it can also havuse Heal Bell which can free up a moveslot for Lickilicky. It also likes the Wish support Lickilicky provides. Physically defensive Aromatisse also does the same thing as it can also switch into most Fighting-types with ease and can carry Aromatherapy, which clears a moveslot for Lickilicky. Amoonguss is another good teammate because of its Poison typing which lets it take on Fighting-types without much trouble, and has good synergy with Lickilicky asince they both switch into the weaknesses of one another, with Lickilicky not having much trouble switching into most Fire-types that threaten Amoonguss such as Moltres and Delphox.

Alomomola is a sturdy physical wall that goes well with Lickilicky in more defensively-oriented teams, for its ability to overwhelm most physical attackers, which Lickilicky struggles against, and vice versa, with Lickilicky being able to switch relatively easily into the special attackers that Alomomola has trouble with. Pokemon that like Wish support in general like having Lickilicky as a teammate, and those include Doublade, Meloetta, Rhyperior, and Registeel, among others. Additionally, hazard setters are good to have in conjunction with Dragon Tail, and for that reason, Roselia and Weezing are good teammates for their ability to set up Spikes and Toxic Spikes, respectively, and Weezing can also counter Fighting-types. Registeel and Rhyperior appreciate the Wish support Lickilicky brings, and can set up Stealth Rock.

Choice Band
########
name: Choice Band
move 1: Return
move 2: Power Whip
move 3: Knock Off / Earthquake
move 4: Explosion
ability: Cloud Nine
item: Choice Band
evs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
nature: Adamant

Moves
========
Return is a STAB move that hits everything that doesn't resist it decently hard, and it has mostly good neutral coverage. Power Whip is a powerful coverage move that can dispose of Rhyperior and 2HKO Alomomola, allowing Lickilicky to muscle through those two sturdy walls. Knock Off is a good move to spam in general for its good neutral coverage and the utility it brings in removing the target's item and crippling almost all Pokemon, with the most notable beingespecially Doublade, Gligar, and Golbat. Earthquake, on the other hand, can be used as another coverage move that can hit Pokemon likesuch as Cobalion on the switch, and Registeel, among other Pokemon, while still hitting Doublade more than Knock Off would. Explosion is a move that often takes the target down with it, unless it's a very bulky physical wall, and is a good last resort move.

Set Details
========
Choice Band might sound like a weirdunusual item to use on Lickilicky, but it works very well on it because of its ability to dispose of certain Pokemon and the sheer surprise factor, as well as having a extrealmely strong Explosion. Max Attack investment is used to hit as hard as possible, with enough Speed investment to outspeed minimum Speed Alomomola, and the rest is dumped into HP for more overall bulk.

Usage Tips
========
Return is Lickilicky's spammable move unless the opponent has a Pokemon that is immune to it or resists it, then predicting a little bit with a coverage move is best. If you're not sure what the opponent will do and can't predict their move, then going for Knock Off is the best play for its power and utility. Lickilicky can be used throughout the match, but bringing it out early-game is best for its ability to soften up walls or disposing of them with either a coverage move or Explosion, and give its teammates an opportunity to sweep. Lickilicky can be easily overwhelmed by powerful attacks, so beware of that.

Team Options
========
Physically defensive Aromatisse handles the Fighting-type Pokemon that Lickilicky struggles with while also providing cleric support in Aromatherapy and Wish, which Lickilicky enjoyas. Alomomola is also another Wish passer that's a good teammate to Lickilicky for its large Wishes and the ability to switch into most physical attackers without much trouble. SinceAs Choice Band Lickilicky can easily remove walls such as Alomomola and Rhyperior, sweepers that like those two Pokemon gone appreciate the partnership with Lickilicky. Fletchinder, in particular, comes to mind, asince it struggles with those two Pokemon. Additionally, set up sweepers are also good teammates for that reason, and those can include Cobalion, Virizion, and Durant. Additionally, asince Lickilicky can somewhat lure in some Fighting-types and severely damage them, Pokemon who like saidthose Fighting-types out of the field are good alongwork with Lickilicky, and thosey include Zoroark and Registeel. Finally, entry hazards support is very good to have with Choice Band Lickilicky to rack up as much damage as possible, and Stealth Rock setters include Rhyperior, Registeel, and Druddigon, while Spikes setters include Roselia and Qwilfish, who can also provide Toxic Spikes as well.

Other Options
########
Lickilicky has a number of other options that it could run, but sadly, almost all of them are done better by other Pokemon. Curse can be utilized along with Body Slam, Earthquake, and Rest with Leftovers, but it struggles against a lot of common Pokemon and done better by Miltank. Lickilicky can use any of the coverage moves it has, which include options such as Muddy Water, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Fire Blast, which can hit Steel-types such as Escavalier and Cobalion who can otherwise switch in easily for a lot of damage. Thunder Wave is an option if paralysis support is needed, but Body Slam can already cover that. A physically defensive could be ran, but Lickilicky can't handle physical attackers too well in general because of its weakness to Fighting-type moves. Finally, a weather support set can be used on weather-based teams with either Sunny Day or Rain Dance, and Heat Rock and Damp Rock respectively. With Explosion, it can set up weather up and then allow a teammate to come in safely without taking any damage.

Checks & Counters
########
**Fighting-types**: They resist Knock Off, can hurt with super effective STAB moves, and Cobalion and Virizion like a Justified boost.

**Offensive Pressure**: Offensive pressure from the physical side can hurt Lickilicky, especially coming from Pokemon likesuch as Rhyperior, Exploud, Druddigon, and Escavalier. Entry hazards also pressure and hurt it, since it has no direct recovery besides Wish, which can be exploitable. If it lacks dDragon tTail Lickilicky becomes set-up fodder for Pokemon such as Doublade, Virizion, and Cobalion, who aren't threatened by Knock Off.

move 3: Heal Bell / Knock Off
move 4: Knock Off / Dragon Tail

item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
nature: Careful

Moves
========
Wish is used as a means of recovery for Lickilicky, and it's also used to support teammates with Lickilicky's large HP stat. Protect gives Lickilicky a guaranteed turn of Wish and Leftovers recovery, as well as scouting the opponent's move. The choice between Heal Bell and Knock Off ultimately depends on Lickilicky's teammates; if another Pokemon has Heal Bell or Aromatherapy, then Knock Off and Dragon Tail should be used. Otherwise, Heal Bell and one of Knock Off or Dragon Tail is preferred, to let Lickilicky act as a cleric. Knock Off is a good utility move that annoys a number of Pokemon and doesn't allow them to switch into Lickilicky for free, while Dragon Tail is used to phaze the opponent and rack up residual damage with the help of entry hazards. It also prevents Pokemon from setting up. Body Slam can be used as a reliable STAB move and it can help spread paralysis, while Seismic Toss can provide consistent damage.

Set Details
========
Maximum HP EVs are used to have overall better bulk and bigger Wishes to pass, with maximum Special Defense investment and a Careful nature to take on threatening Pokemon such as Delphox, Moltres, and Yanmega. Leftovers is the item of choice for passive recovery, and goes nicely with Protect for an extra turn of HP gain. Oblivious is used as the ability because it grants Lickilicky immunity to Taunt, which means it can't be shut down by Pokemon such as Mega Banette and Golbat packing Taunt.

Usage Tips
========
Lickilicky can comfortably switch into the tier's most threatening special attackers without much trouble, and threaten them with any of the attacking moves it has, such as Knock Off, which removes items such as Life Orb and Choice Specs and cripples the opponent's Pokemon, Body Slam for its STAB and 30% chance of paralysis, or Seismic Toss for the consistent damage. Beware of Pokemon that carry a Choice item and Switcheroo or Trick, as Lickilicky doesn't appreciate that. Wish can be used whenever Lickilicky needs recovery, or whenever another teammate needs it, and Protect can be used to guarantee the Wish. However, the opponent can easily exploit an obvious Protect after Wish, and use the opportunity to set up or get a free switch. All of Lickilicky's attacking moves—Knock Off, Dragon Tail, Seismic Toss, and Body Slam—are spammable and do not have many drawbacks, unless the opponent's Pokemon is immune to them. Additionally, using Dragon Tail when entry hazards are on the field is preferred, to shuffle the opponent's team and rack up residual damage.

Team Options
========
When talking about teammates for Lickilicky, the first thing that should popup in anyone's mind is a Pokemon that resists Fighting-type moves, and as such, Granbull makes a fine teammate. Its Fairy typing along with Intimidate allows it to easily switch into most Fighting-types with ease and KO them or threaten them out. Additionally, it can also use Heal Bell which can free up a moveslot for Lickilicky. It also likes the Wish support Lickilicky provides. Physically defensive Aromatisse also does the same thing as it can also switch into most Fighting-types with ease and can carry Aromatherapy, which clears a moveslot for Lickilicky. Amoonguss is another good teammate because of its Poison typing which lets it take on Fighting-types without much trouble, and has good synergy with Lickilicky as they both switch into the weaknesses of one another, with Lickilicky not having much trouble switching into most Fire-types that threaten Amoonguss such as Moltres and Delphox.

Alomomola is a sturdy physical wall that goes well with Lickilicky in more defensively-oriented teams, for its ability to overwhelm most physical attackers, which Lickilicky struggles against, and vice versa, with Lickilicky being able to switch relatively easily into the special attackers that Alomomola has trouble with. Pokemon that like Wish support in general like having Lickilicky as a teammate, and those include Doublade, Meloetta, Rhyperior, and Registeel, among others. Additionally, hazard setters are good to have in conjunction with Dragon Tail, and for that reason, Roselia and Weezing are good teammates for their ability to set up Spikes and Toxic Spikes, respectively, and Weezing can also counter Fighting-types. Registeel and Rhyperior appreciate the Wish support Lickilicky brings, and can set up Stealth Rock.

Choice Band

move 3: Knock Off / Earthquake
move 4: Explosion
ability: Cloud Nine
item: Choice Band
evs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
nature: Adamant

Moves
========
Return is a STAB move that hits everything that doesn't resist it decently hard, and it has mostly good neutral coverage. Power Whip is a powerful coverage move that can dispose of Rhyperior and 2HKO Alomomola, allowing Lickilicky to muscle through those two sturdy walls. Knock Off is a good move to spam in general for its good neutral coverage and the utility it brings in removing the target's item and crippling almost all Pokemon, especially Doublade, Gligar, and Golbat. Earthquake, on the other hand, can be used as another coverage move that can hit Pokemon such as Cobalion on the switch, and Registeel, among other Pokemon, while still hitting Doublade more than Knock Off would. Explosion is a move that often takes the target down with it, unless it's a very bulky physical wall, and is a good last resort move.

Set Details
========
Choice Band might sound like a unusual item to use on Lickilicky, but it works very well on it because of its ability to dispose of certain Pokemon and the sheer surprise factor, as well as having a extremely strong Explosion. Max Attack investment is used to hit as hard as possible, with enough Speed investment to outspeed minimum Speed Alomomola, and the rest is dumped into HP for more overall bulk.

Usage Tips
========
Return is Lickilicky's spammable move unless the opponent has a Pokemon that is immune to it or resists it, then predicting a little bit with a coverage move is best. If you're not sure what the opponent will do and can't predict their move, then going for Knock Off is the best play for its power and utility. Lickilicky can be used throughout the match, but bringing it out early-game is best for its ability to soften up walls or disposing of them with either a coverage move or Explosion, and give its teammates an opportunity to sweep. Lickilicky can be easily overwhelmed by powerful attacks, so beware of that.

Team Options
========
Physically defensive Aromatisse handles the Fighting-type Pokemon that Lickilicky struggles with while also providing cleric support in Aromatherapy and Wish, which Lickilicky enjoys. Alomomola is also another Wish passer that's a good teammate to Lickilicky for its large Wishes and the ability to switch into most physical attackers without much trouble. As Choice Band Lickilicky can easily remove walls such as Alomomola and Rhyperior, sweepers that like those two Pokemon gone appreciate Lickilicky. Fletchinder, in particular, comes to mind, as it struggles with those two Pokemon. Additionally, set up sweepers are also good teammates for that reason, and those can include Cobalion, Virizion, and Durant. Additionally, as Lickilicky can somewhat lure in some Fighting-types and severely damage them, Pokemon who like those Fighting-types out of the field work with Lickilicky, and they include Zoroark and Registeel. Finally, entry hazard support is very good to have with Choice Band Lickilicky to rack up as much damage as possible, and Stealth Rock setters include Rhyperior, Registeel, and Druddigon, while Spikes setters include Roselia and Qwilfish, who can also provide Toxic Spikes as well.

Other Options
########
Lickilicky has a number of other options that it could run, but sadly, almost all of them are done better by other Pokemon. Curse can be utilized along with Body Slam, Earthquake, and Rest with Leftovers, but it struggles against a lot of common Pokemon and done better by Miltank. Lickilicky can use any of the coverage moves it has, which include options such as Muddy Water, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Fire Blast, which can hit Steel-types such as Escavalier and Cobalion who can otherwise switch in easily for a lot of damage. Thunder Wave is an option if paralysis support is needed, but Body Slam can already cover that. A physically defensive could be ran, but Lickilicky can't handle physical attackers too well in general because of its weakness to Fighting-type moves. Finally, a weather support set can be used on weather-based teams with either Sunny Day or Rain Dance, and Heat Rock and Damp Rock respectively. With Explosion, it can set weather up and then allow a teammate to come in safely without taking any damage.

Checks & Counters
########
**Fighting-types**: They resist Knock Off, can hurt with super effective STAB moves, and Cobalion and Virizion like a Justified boost.

**Offensive Pressure**: Offensive pressure from the physical side can hurt Lickilicky, especially coming from Pokemon such as Rhyperior, Exploud, Druddigon, and Escavalier. Entry hazards also pressure and hurt it, since it has no direct recovery besides Wish, which can be exploitable. If it lacks Dragon Tail Lickilicky becomes set-up fodder for Pokemon such as Doublade, Virizion, and Cobalion, who aren't threatened by Knock Off.

The Stuff

Overview
########
As the only Pokemon with access to STAB Explosion other than Smeargle, Lickilicky isn't good just for that reason. It has good defensive stats with base 110 HP and base 95 Defense and Special Defensedefenses. That and access to Wish along with a big HP stat gives it a good way of recovery and makes it a good supporting option, being able to pass big Wishes to its teammates. Thanks to its ability, Oblivious, it's also immune to Taunt, meaning nothing can stop it from using Wish or Protect. Lickilicky also has a large movepool with colorful offensive and supportive options such as the aforementioned Wish, Heal Bell, Body Slam, Fire Blast,[Add Comma] and Fire Punch, Thunderbolt, Knock Off, Dragon Tail, Curse, Seismic Toss, and of course, Explosion. However, with a biglarge movepool comes slight four-moveslot syndrome. Additionally, it faces competition from Aromatisse as a Wish passer with Aromatherapy support, but having access to Dragon Tail and Knock Off separates it from Aromatisse, as well as having more bulk in general.

Maximum HP EVs are usedinvested to have overall better bulk and bigger Wishes to pass, withand maximum Special Defense investment andwith a Careful nature to take on threatening Pokemon such as Delphox, Moltres, and Yanmega. Leftovers is the item of choice for passive recovery, and it goes nicely with Protect for an extrafree turn of HP gain. Oblivious is used asthe chosen ability because it grants Lickilicky immunity to Taunt, which means it Lickilicky can't be shut down by Pokemon such as Mega Banette and Golbat packing Taunt.

Usage Tips
========
Lickilicky can comfortably switch into the tier's most threatening special attackers such as without much trouble, [Remove Comma]and threaten them with any of the attacking moves it has.[Changed To Period] such as Knock Off,[Remove Comma] which removesto remove "Knock Off to remove items" isn't right >:| items such as Life Orb and Choice Specs andto cripples the opponent's Pokemon,.[Period, Not Comma] Use Body Slam for its STAB and 30% chance of paralysis, or Seismic Toss for the consistent damage. Beware of Pokemon that carry a Choice item and Switcheroo or Trick, as Lickilicky doesn't appreciate being locked into one move that. Wish can be used whenever Lickilicky or another teammate needs recovery, or whenever another teammate needs it, and Protect can be used to guarantee the Wish. However, the opponent can easily exploit an obvious Protect after Wish, (RC) and use the opportunity to set up or get a free switch. All of Lickilicky's attacking moves—Knock Off, Dragon Tail, Seismic Toss, and Body Slam—are spammable and do not have many drawbacks, (RC) unless the opponent's Pokemon is immune to them. Additionally, using Dragon Tail when entry hazards are on the field is preferred,[Remove Comma] to shuffle the opponent's team and rack up residual damage.

Team Options
========
When talking about teammates for Lickilicky, the first thing that should pop-up[Not 100% Sure If Hyphen Is Needed] I agree in anyone's mind is a Pokemon that resists Fighting-type moves, and as such, Granbull makes a fine teammate. ItsHaving Fairy typing along with Intimidate allows it to easily switch into most Fighting-types with ease and KO them or threaten them out. Additionally, it can also use Heal Bell which can free up a moveslot for Lickilicky. It and Granbull also likes the Wish support Lickilicky provides. Physically defensive Aromatisse also does the same thing as it can also switch into most Fighting-types with ease and can carry Aromatherapy, which clears a moveslot for Lickilicky. Amoonguss is another good teammate because of its Poison typing, (AC) which lets it take on Fighting-types without much trouble, and has good synergy with Lickilicky as they both switch into the weaknesses of one another, with Lickilicky not having much trouble switching into most Fire-types that threaten Amoonguss such as Moltres and Delphox.

Alomomola is a sturdy physical wall that goes well with Lickilicky in more defensively oriented teams,[Remove Comma] for its ability to overwhelm most physical attackers, whichsomething Lickilicky struggles against, and vice versa, with Lickilicky being able to switch relatively easily into the special attackers that Alomomola has trouble with. Pokemon that like Wish support in general like having Lickilicky as a teammate, and those include Doublade, Meloetta, Rhyperior, and Registeel, among others. Additionally, entry hazard setters are good to have in conjunction with Dragon Tail, and for that reason, Roselia and Weezing are good teammates for their ability to set up Spikes and Toxic Spikes, respectively, and Weezing can also counter Fighting-types. Registeel and Rhyperior appreciate the Wish support Lickilicky brings, (RC) and can set up Stealth Rock.

Choice Band
########
name: Choice Band
move 1: Return
move 2: Power Whip
move 3: Knock Off / Earthquake
move 4: Explosion
ability: Cloud Nine
item: Choice Band
evs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
nature: Adamant

Moves
========
Return is a STAB move that hits everything that doesn't resist it decently hard, and whileand it has mostly good neutral coverage. Power Whip is a powerful coverage move that can dispose of Rhyperior and 2HKO Alomomola, allowing Lickilicky to muscle through those two sturdy walls. Knock Off is a good move to spam in general for its good neutral coverage and[Some sentences are using and too much]in conjunction with the utility it brings in removing the target's item and crippling almost all Pokemon, especially Doublade, Gligar, and Golbat. Earthquake, on the other hand, can be used as another coverage move that can hit Pokemon such as Cobalion on the switch, (RC) and Registeel, among other Pokemon, while still hitting Doublade moreharder than Knock Off would. Explosion is a move that often takes the target down with Lickilicky it, unless it's a very bulky physical wall, and is making it a good last-resort move.

Set Details
========
Choice Band might sound like a unusual item to use on Lickilicky, but it works very well on it because of its ability to dispose of certain Pokemon and the sheer surprise factor.[Add Period] An added bonus is having an extremely strong Explosion. Max Attack investment is used don't implement this change to hit as hard as possible, withwhile still having enough Speed investment to outspeed minimum Speed Alomomola.[Period] and the rest isThe rest being is dumped into HP for more overall bulk.

Usage Tips
========
Return is Lickilicky's spammable move unless the opponent has a Pokemon that is immune to it or resists it, then in which case predicting a little bit with a coverage move is best. If you're not sure what the opponent will do and can't predict their move, then going for Knock Off is the best play for its power and utility. Lickilicky can be used throughout the match, but bringing it out early-game is best for its ability to soften up or KO walls or disposing of them with either a coverage move or Explosion, and givetherefore giving its teammates an opportunity to sweep. Lickilicky can be easily overwhelmed by powerful attacks, so beware of that.

Team Options
========
Physically defensive Aromatisse handles the Fighting-type Pokemon that Lickilicky struggles with while also providing cleric support in Aromatherapy and Wish, which Lickilicky enjoys. Alomomola is also another Wish passer that's a good teammate to Lickilicky for its large Wishes and the ability to switch into most physical attackers without much trouble. As Choice Band Lickilicky can easily remove walls such as Alomomola and Rhyperior, sweepers that like those two Pokemon gone appreciate Lickilicky. Fletchinder, in particular, comes to mind,[Remove Comma] as it struggles with those two Pokemon. Additionally, setup sweepers are also good teammates for that reason, and those can include Cobalion, Virizion, and Durant. Also, as Lickilicky can somewhat lure in some Fighting-types which ones and severely damage them, Pokemon who that like those Fighting-types out of the field work with Lickilicky, and they include such as Zoroark and Registeel. Finally, entry hazard support is very good to have with Choice Band Lickilicky to rack up as much damage as possible, and Stealth Rock setters include Rhyperior, Registeel, and Druddigon, while Spikes setters include Roselia and Qwilfish, who can also provide Toxic Spikes as well. These are all good examples; keep them

Other Options
########
Lickilicky has a number of other options that it could run, but sadly, almost all of them are done better by other Pokemon. Curse can be utilized along with Body Slam, Earthquake, and Rest with Leftovers, but it struggles against a lot of common Pokemon and is done better by Miltank. Lickilicky can use any of the coverage moves it has, which include options such as Muddy Water, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Fire Blast, which can hit Steel-types such as Escavalier and Cobalion who can otherwise switch in easily for a lot of damage. Thunder Wave is an option if paralysis support is needed, but Body Slam can already cover that. A physically defensive set could be ran, but Lickilicky can't handle physical attackers too well in general because of its weakness to Fighting-type moves. Finally, a weather support set can be used on weather-based teams with either Sunny Day or Rain Dance, (RC) and Heat Rock and or Damp Rock respectively. With Explosion, it can set weather up and then allow a teammate to come in safely without taking any damage.

Checks & Counters
########
**Fighting-types**: They Fighting-types resist Knock Off, can hurt Lickilicky with super effective STAB moves, and Cobalion and Virizion even like a Justified boost.

**Offensive Pressure**: Offensive pressure from the physical side can hurt Lickilicky, especially coming from Pokemon such as Rhyperior, Exploud, Druddigon, and Escavalier. Entry hazards also pressure and hurt it,[Remove Comma] Keep the comma since as it has no direct recovery besides Wish, which can be exploitable. If it lacks Dragon Tail,[Add Comma] Lickilicky becomes setup fodder for Pokemon such as Doublade, Virizion, and Cobalion, who which aren't threatened by Knock Off.

2/2
