Usage Tips
========
- Switch Lickilicky into specially based Pokemon such as Altaria, Articuno, Camerupt, Electrode, Ninetales, Rotom-Frost, Serperior and Kababra, be careful against Kadabra and Rotom-Frost as Kadabra can be annoying with Encore and Rotom-Frost can predict the switch and Trick
- Protect should be used to scout Pokemon you know are using a choice item
- If you predict your opponent to start setting up on Lickilicky use Dragon Tail to phase them out
- Wish can be used to pass health to teammates, however be careful when passing as Lickilicky likes to stay above 70% so it can switch back in later in the match. Be wary of Roar / Whirlwind users as they can phase you out when you are trying to Protect to receive your Wish and leave Lickilicky at little to no health. Also be wary of Wish passing around Roar / Whirlwind users as they can phase you out from your intended recipient.
- Protect after using Wish if Lickilicky is below 40% health or you know the next attack is going to KO it
Team Options
========
- Pokemon who resists Fighting-type moves make good teammates for Lickilicky such as Gourgeist-S, Garbodor, Gourgeist-XL, and Misdreavus,
and Shedinja lol - Pokemon who can setup hazards such as Garbodor, Roselia, and Carracosta. Carrying a spin blocker in conjunction with the entry hazards to prevent Rapid Spinning such as Gourgeist-S, Gourgeist-XL, and Misdreavus.
- If Lickilicky is not carrying Heal Bell of its own it likes to have a cleric as a teammate, Pokemon such as Musharna, Altaria, and Grumpig are good users.
- Hazard Removal pokemon such as Pelipper and Avalugg can help Lickilicky from being 2HKO on switchin
Other Options

Checks & Counters
########
**Fighting-Types**: Fighting-types such as Throh and Poliwrath can come in on any of Lickilicky's attacks taking little damage, they can then either set up on Lickilicky or threaten it out with a STAB move. Lickilicky can predict switch-ins of Fighting-types and use Dragon Tail in combination with hazards up to be able to check them.
**Status**: Statuses such as burn and toxic can seriously compromise Lickilicky's ability to switch into hits, the residual damage can mean the difference between a 2HKO and a 3HKO. Pokemon who can lay Toxic Spikes such as Garbodor and Roselia, Pokemon that commonly carry Toxic such as Articuno, Bastiodon, and Avalugg, whom Lickilicky likes to switch in on, and Pokemon that commonly carry Will-O-Wisp such as Camerupt and Ninetales.
**Strong Attackers**: Strong Attackers such as Choice Specs Aurorus, Beheeyem, and Focus Blast Simisear can overwhelm Lickilicky if it tries to switch into them to take their attacks, especially with hazards on the field.
**Trick**: Trick users such as Rotom-Frost and Mr. Mime that Lickilicky likes to switch in on can predict the switch and use Trick, which can seriously limit Lickilicky's ability to support its team, limiting it to only one move.
