Lickilicky (Substitute Coverage)

[Alan]

hi, so i was playing around with lickilicky ever since i realized it has a movepool bigger than jabba's belly. (i love you jabba, i just needed a good simile) and i was like using it on a mono-normal type team and i realized, it doesn't really need a STAB to be effective but whatever. i was like, hmm this nigga could be like the uu tyraniboah so i went for it, anywho i know it doesnt have a stab but i was kind of in a situation where coverage was more important so im just gonna post this and see what ya'll niggas feel.

[SET]
name: Substitute Coverage (Lickiboah? idk names are dumb just call it set 7)
move1: Substitute
move2: Power Whip
move3: Focus Punch
move4: Fire Blast
item: Leftovers
nature: Brave
evs: 172 HP / 232 Atk / 104 SpA

why this nigga gotta be all over that analysis page:
-coverage coverage coverage
-bulky p damn bulky
-breaks common walls with or without prediction

set comments in this beezy:
-sub blocks status
-focus punch really just takes advantage of sub and offers a ohko on chansey and is high powered move in general
-power whip will 2hko rhyperior (sounds unimpressive, but considering its unstabbed not max attack with leftovers as an item and rhyperior is bulky as fuck anyway, ill take it)
-fucks up milotic
-fire blast hits steelix harder than fire punch would, hurts common physical walls like weezing too

additional commentarios:
-given EVs allow for: 101 HP subs (piss off clefable >:() 2hko on rhyperior and bulky milotic, 2hkos steelix with fire blast, 2hko's offensive venu, really hurts heracross with fire blast etc etc
-can use aqua tail instead of power whip but you miss out on hitting milotic really hard
-brave nature is used to keep lickilicky's impressive bulk from being diminished

niggas that be cockblockin this fool:
-<pokemon> with taunt
-hitmontop, hitmonlee, <fighting-type> with a STAB priority move
-mismagius is kind of a cunt to this set so are ghosts in general
-weezing is homo too since it only takes ~33% from fire blast
-altaria is a counter too since no ice beam

[Uncommon Madness]

This is basically the sub-puncher set with a slightly different EVs spread and Power Whip instead of Gyro Ball as it was meant to be played mainly in OU were Pokés are so damn fast. For this reason I wouldn't create a whole new set and I'd just mention Power Whip as an option if someone wanted to run this set in UU.

[Alan]

oh xD i didnt even realize that subpunch was on site.

[Towelie]

i disagree. since the other one was built for ou, this one should replace the old one (if it passes of course) with completely new set comments and all that good stuff

[Uncommon Madness]

@Towelie: You got me wrong, I simply said that it doesn't deserve a whole new set.
In general Lickilicky needs a full revamp and update since EVERY set was built for OU.

[Oglemi*]

^ Which I'm doing the revamp right here.

[Bluewind]

I think this can be moved to locked / outdated place having in mind Oglemi's update of Lickylicky? Maybe this is me being too eager, I just never had everything on the subforum past QC stage (except for Croak but shhh); and this is pretty much the mixed attacker with Sub Punch over the last 2 moves and Leftovers, and on something with so many sets like Lickylicky (unlike Exploud, to which we did this exact same thing but he only had two viable sets anyways), it's better to leave it to AC.

[Oglemi*]

Yeah, we weren't sure if Lickilicky should get a SubPunch set by itself, hence why this is still here. If you don't think Lickilicky should get a SubPunch set, than yeah I can lock this.

[Bluewind]

Yeah, I don't think Licky makes great use of a SubPunching set. Fire Blast / Power Whip already hits stuff like Registeel, Rhyperior, Regirock, Steelix and so on; and his somewhat low Attack kinda requires a STAB to abuse if it's aiming to sweep. So yeah, I guess this is better left to OC.

[Oglemi*]

OK, moving to LO as I doubt anybody will say otherwise.
