Sure you can! Just remind it whos boss. With a belt.you can't have a fully ev'd pokémon with min happiness
My game is in japanese so I can't see what's in the summery. Did the "likes [insert taste here] food" return? Otherwise,I think feeding it the wrong berries won't help.Sure you can! Just remind it whos boss. With a belt.
No, really though, cant you give it berries that they dont like? doesn't that lower their happiness?
im fairly sure that was never true.And if you put them in the box.
Poor guys feel neglected. They've just got to understand that you've got six other teams to use.
Trade them, give herbal medicine, let them faint. There are numerous possibilities.And if you put them in the box.

That's why we use simulators.Lowering happiness seem to be too much trouble concidering that it only is to counter ditto
Under normal circumstances ya, but again its meant to counter weather, in which most things wont have much speed above 80, and almost nothing is scarfed. So maybe he wont outspeed.. jumpluff or something, but he'll outspeed the biggest weather threats, doryuzu, omastar, venusaur, even kingdra (although he cant do too much to kingdra without life orb).Also, Licky is far, far too slow to pull off Scarf.
or make him a bulky restalker, take hits and recorver while getting several hits in.Ehhh... cloud nine does help lickylicky somewhat, lets him negate that SpD boost for rocks, and take surfs a lot easier, but its a shame hes to slow to outspeed most swift swim / chlorophyl / sand throwers even after the weather is negated. A scarf set could be an interesting set, a sure fire counter to stuff like omastar. The biggest boon to this would be being able to switch in on a doryuzu while it potentially SD's, and then nailing it with a fire blast (though i'm not sure if it would k/o without a bit of prior damage). Of course he would lose a lot of power without life orb or expert belt, but considering his ability wants him to counter weather... it seems plausible. This set is favorable to say... golduck, because his moves provide waaayyy more coverage than the duck, so he can effectivly counter every weather type.
but doing that before every battle will make you unable to visit dream worldThat's why we use simulators.
Besides, you can just put it in the box and change the clock on the DS. It takes less than five minutes.
Also, Licky is far, far too slow to pull off Scarf.
Explosion shouldn't be used. It is still a pwoerful move, but licky can't afford to waste a moveslot. Also, custap isn't avaible yet, and probably won't be avaible for a very long time, so discussing it already seem wasted, there isn't even a metagame yet, things will have changed when it becomes avaible.Any one think Custap would be good considering a lot of these sets include explosion?
Personally, I like him more special than physical. With a move set like Surf/Fire blast/Thunderbolt/Ice beam you have GREAT coverage.Ugh, I'm not sure whether to go physical or special with Licky. I'm planning to put him onto my Sun team, but I really want him to get rid of that damned mole Pokemon from sweeping my team but also have him get rid of other weather abusers/setuppers...plus I don't want to go mixed because can he really afford to go mixed?
its a trade off. T-bolt is imo is an inferior attacking type against water, and thats where power whip comes into play. unless you run hp grass, a special set will be walled by bulky ground waters.Personally, I like him more special than physical. With a move set like Surf/Fire blast/Thunderbolt/Ice beam you have GREAT coverage.
A pure physical set doesn't seem to have as great of coverage and would probably run with something like Earthquake/Power whip/Hammer Arm/Return. The only thing you don't cover is ice types for hail teams, but you don't see them often enough. Earthquake for fire/rock/steel, Power Whip for those ground/rock/water, and Hammer Arm (or brick break if you want something you can spam a little easier) for steel/rock/blissey. You also don't have any coverage against grass type if you go physical, but at least you can hit them for neutral damage. Regrettably, you just don't get the coverage unless you go a little into special and at LEAST have Ice beam.
Other notable physical moves you can run are: Zen Headbutt, Body Slam, Gyro Ball, Dragon Tail, Brick Break, and Explosion. None of which REALLY gives you much coverage.
Licki DOES have 5 more base stats in his physical attack side, so you do gain some power, but you lose a little bit of coverage.
cloud nine will remove the suns effect of lowering water attacks power, so surf will be a good water move (important for coverage on a s day team). It will also hit the mole for super effective damage. It doesn't ge a psychical water move, so special should be superior on a sunny day team. Don't forget that you should have a least one psychical sweeper too (easy to forget because of solarbeam).Ugh, I'm not sure whether to go physical or special with Licky. I'm planning to put him onto my Sun team, but I really want him to get rid of that damned mole Pokemon from sweeping my team but also have him get rid of other weather abusers/setuppers...plus I don't want to go mixed because can he really afford to go mixed?
