hp fight - > hp fight -> hyper beam
the hp fight rolls are about 50/50 since its an 8/16 chance for a min and the same for a max. So you would have a 50% chance to win, and you need more than 50 to win!

My bad, this was supposed to have 0 hp IVs to avoid any unfortunate roll, but the import on mobile is pretty bad, now it is a counter.

more than a 50% chance to get burned over 2 turns by scald (0.7^2). hurricane will then slowly whittle down lickitung, especially with the confusion rate. You can't belly drum either.

116 Atk Timburr Drain Punch vs. +2 228 HP / 220+ Def Eviolite Lileep: 6-8 (23 - 30.7%) -- 22.8% chance to 4HKO
I think it loses if it switches into Barrier? Giga Drain 5HKOes so PP isn't really an issue (and you can just stall Drain Punches).
I have Brick Break
Brick Break removes Light Screen and Reflect, not Barrier (which boosts Defense +2).
EDIT: I will concede that if you use Drain Punch 16 times you have about a 64.6% chance of critting at least once. However,
116 Atk Timburr Drain Punch vs. 228 HP / 220+ Def Eviolite Lileep on a critical hit: 14-20 (53.8 - 76.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
It still doesn't OHKO, though it only needs 8 damage beforehand (6.25% chance to do less than 18) do kill. Knock Off helps too (but still doesn't guarantee OHKO from full health :O)
