Like any Gimmick, though, if your opponent is unprepared and has nothing to deal with your gimmick, it could very well be a free multi-sweep. Still, you're right, it's nothing but a fun gimmick.
So what about:
Defense Curl
Rollout
Explosion
Fire Blast
Fire Blast takes care of a decent amount of guys on that list, except Breloom who's faster IIRC.
Just to note, the rollout set is neither the main set nor the most practical. I'm a big fan of the Me First sets, since it's one of my... Well, I could say it's one of my fetish attacks. I just love it to death.
Might I suggest Body Slam (RSE Tutor) as a move on the Me First set? It has STAB and 30% para on it. para is kind of a double-edged sword with Me First, but it does allow you to use on something other than say Steelix/Rhyperior.
Actually, I looked over your first post, and you completely forgot to list Body Slam, even though its one of Lickilicky's most useful moves. (Not to mention available from breeding and RSE tutors.)
Yeah, actually I did. Sadly, still got the recoil. I was hoping the boost was passive (I.E. Always there) while the recoil was only applied in the case of selecting an attacking move- I guess I was wrong.
Actually keep in mind it has the same special attack as Dragonite. It can still do a number with Fire Blast, probably a 2HKO at least.Well, I don't think Fire Blast really takes care of any of them off that Sp Atk stat. Also, you're locked into Rollout, remember.

Not only imperfect IVs, but I'm sure there are base 100s that don't give a flying fuck about maxing speed with +speed nature. I expect most would go for a certain amount of speed, but try to retain their power. Modest/Adamant with 252 speed, or +speed with only enough speed EVs to outspeed the modest/adamant version of itself and the rest in their attacking stat- Both of these strategies are less than maxed, so Licki can still outspeed.oh BTW, lickylicky can't outrun the base 100 speed + nature + 252 EVs. I calculated a bit and 100 speed total = 328, while lickylicky's speed = 218. 218 + choice scarf = 218*1.5 = 327, not enough to outrun them. you might get lucky when your opponent doesn't have perfect IVs, which can happen, but not much.

Explosion
[SHORT DESC]
Faints the user.
[LONG DESC]
Faints the user. Damage is calculated as though the defender had half its defense.
That's a very nice set; I've always been a fan of the Custap berry. Though perhaps to guarantee you get to use the Custap, replace Gyro Ball with Endure; Counter is also an option on the set. Counter physical attackers, use Hammer on special attackers, then explode when you get the chance.Loving Lickylicky so much , although not the rollout set. Not keen on any move that locks you in without instant payoffs (i.e. Garchomp/Dragonite's outrage)
I'm actually sitting at my pc hatching them as I type this.
This is the set I'm planning on using:
Lickylicky @ Custap Berry
Brave
252 Attack
252 HP
Knock Off
Explosion
Hammer Arm
Gyro Ball
This set exploits Licky's 2 coolest moves (KO and Boom);
Hammer arm powers up gyro ball, when skarm comes in to spoil your fun, knock off it's shed shell and ruin him with 'zone.
When they think they're about to go for the KO, custap gives them a nasty stab explosion flavored surprise in the face.
This is even more potent under trick room as you can replace custap for lefties although I'm not a fan of that strategy outside of 2v2.
So cool I can hardly stand it.
