OVERVIEW

After defeating the Lickitung, look for the following CP values. These values are those of a Lickitung with perfect IV's.
  • REGULAR: 755
  • WEATHER: 944

Lickitung has 108 attack, 137 defense, and 180 stamina. As a Raid Boss, it has a CP of 6433.

Lickitung is a Normal-type. It has access to the following moves:
  • FAST MOVES: Lick, Zen Headbutt
  • CHARGED MOVES: Hyper Beam, Stomp, Power Whip

Counters

Machamp

Machamp is the best counter to Lickitung. Zen Headbutt may chip away at Machamp's HP, but Machamp's large attack stat and super-effective attacks mae up for it.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter
  • CHARGED MOVE: Dynamic Punch, Close Combat

Mewtwo

Mewtwo's massive attack stat combined with the super-effective Focus Blast makes Mewtwo, as always, one of the best counters.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Psycho Cut
  • CHARGED MOVE: Focus Blast

Blaziken

Blaziken is a great counter to Lickitung, especially one with Power Whip. It deals a lot of damage, and will resist the Grass-type Charged Attack.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter
  • CHARGED MOVE: Focus Blast

Hariyama

Haritama is a great Fighting-type alternative to Machamp and Blaziken. It does not have as much attack strength, but its bulk will allow it to take more hits, especially when compared to Blaziken.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter
  • CHARGED MOVE: Dynamic Punch, Close Combat

Rayquaza

If you want to use a counter for pure, raw damage, Rayquaza is your best choice. Its sky-high attack stat backs up its powerful, although not-super-effective, moves.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Dragon Tail
  • CHARGED MOVE: Outrage

BRELOOM

While it is not the most powerful Fighting-type out there, Breloom can prove to be a decent counter. As with the other Fighting-types, it will resist Lick, but take increased damage from Zen Headbutt.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Counter
  • CHARGED MOVE: Dynamic Punch

HIGH-DPS  counters

Here are some other counters that will prove useful:

Ho-Oh will resist Lickitung's Power Whip, and deal a deluge of damage with its Legendary attack stat.

​For more super-effective counters, Ursaring is a great choice. While it won't benefit from S.T.A.B., it will deal a good amount of damage.

For raw damage counters, Salamence, Metagross, Dragonite, and Latios are best.
