Lickitung (#108) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Kanto region (Generation 1) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,614 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Lickitung has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Lickitung in 2026.
Lickitung's Attack stat is 108 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Lickitung may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 137 Defense (Average) and 207 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 452. This gives Lickitung reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Lickitung's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Lickitung depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Lick (Fast) with Hyper Beam (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Lickitung has 2 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Lickitung has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Lickitung can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Normal typing provides useful matchups against Ghost-type threats while being weak to Fighting types.
In Master League, Lickitung faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Lickitung's effectiveness depends on its typing and 108 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Lickitung use Fighting-type moves.
Lickitung can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Partly Cloudy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Lickitung is part of a 2-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
