Lickilicky @ Choice Band
Trait: Cloud Nine
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Power Whip
- Earthquake
- Explosion

This guy here boasts the strongest physical attack in the entire game that doesn't involve any support. A STAB Choice Banded Explosion coming off nearly 300 Attack is enough to grab an OHKO on the likes of Amoonguss and Musharna and do upwards of seventy percent on physically defensive behemoths such as Tangela and Alomomola. Of course, Choice Band Lickilicky is not all reliant on Explosion to do damage. Golurk, a common switch-in to Lickilicky, is always OHKO'ed by Power Whip unless it's running max Defense. Emboar looking to switch in on a predicted Wish or Heal Bell will be smashed by Earthquake. Return is your main attack, and has enough power to OHKO the likes of Ludicolo and Sawsbuck.

One of the greatest things about this set is the surprise factor, which allows Lickilicky to easily remove walls on the opponent's team. For example, hail teams will easily fall to Sawk and Emboar once Lickilicky takes out their Duosion, which would normally set up on it. Rock-types such as Golem, Carracosta, and Regirock will be either OHKO'ed or 2HKO'ed by Power Whip, opening up the way for Braviary or Swellow to sweep. Most of the time, the opponent won't even switch out their Special Wall, allowing you to get a huge hit on opposing Regice or Lickilicky. For these reasons, Choice Band Lickilicky is a great addition to offensive teams for its ability to break down walls.
