While the correlation between giant tongues and Valentine’s Day is questionable, Lickitung will be in Raids you can clear during Pokémon GO‘s “lovey-dovey-themed” event for 2023. This Licking Pokémon will be a Three-Star Raid Boss featured alongside Gallade, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and Miltank. Lickitung is quite rare when it comes to Raids or Wild Encounters. However, if you manage to collect 100 of this pocket monster’s Candy, you can give it a Sinnoh Stone to evolve it into Lickilicky. To beat Lickitung in a Raid, you must have a firm understanding of its resistances and weaknesses.
Best Counters for Lickitung Raid in Pokémon GO
As Normal-type Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, Lickitung only has one weakness — Fighting-type attacks. As a result, you should undoubtedly choose any pocket monsters in your roster that can “pack a punch.” On the other hand, avoid using any Pokémon with Ghost-type Movesets, as Lickitung is resistant to the Ghost element.
