Lickitung's fantastic special bulk supplemented by Eviolite allows it to wall strong special attackers such as Silvally-Ice, Wartortle, and Mr. Mime. Wish and Heal Bell complemented by its high HP stat make Lickitung a great cleric, as Wish heals itself and its teammates and Heal Bell removes status such as Spore from Shiinotic, Thunder Wave from Morgrem, and Toxic from various users like Hippopotas and Dusclops. Alternatively, Toxic can be used to cripple physical switch-ins such as Persian, Grapploct, and Stonjourner as well as bulky Pokemon with ample recovery such as Pyukumuku and Corsola. Protect allows Lickitung to reliably recover using Wish and scout for what move Choice item users such as Gourgeist-L, Fraxure, and Stonjourner lock themselves into. Oblivious makes Lickitung immune to Taunt from common users such as Krokorok and Galarian Linoone, making its job as a cleric easier.
Lickitung is best suited for balance and stall builds where its Wish, cleric support, and special bulk are greatly appreciated and its passivity isn't a big issue. Lickitung is severely pressured by strong physical attackers such as Stonjourner, Swords Dance Silvally-Ice, and Grapploct, so physical walls such as Hippopotas, Corsola, and Shiinotic are great teammates; Lickitung in turn walls special attackers such as Mr. Mime, Beheeyem, and Wartortle for them. Lickitung is weak to entry hazards, especially Toxic Spikes, so entry hazard removal from Vullaby, Galarian Mr. Mime, and Vibrava as well as Toxic Spikes absorption from Gloom and Ivysaur is extremely useful. Lickitung's support is hindered by status, so status absorbers such as Guts Machoke and Klang are appreciated. Naturally bulky offensive partners such as Silvally-Ice, Beheeyem, and Choice Band Gourgeist-L that don't have reliable recovery or are crippled by status can utilize Lickitung's cleric support to allow them to sweep or break multiple times in a game.
