Lickitung Deck - Pros / Cons
- Has a Chance to Defeat Anyone
- Easy to Collect Cards and Build a Deck
- Lickitung's HP is Insufficient
Has a Chance to Defeat Anyone
Lickitung's Attack is a highly gamble-based move that deals damage equal to 60 times the number of consecutive heads on a coin flip. If tails come up first, no damage is dealt. However, if you're lucky, it can deliver a one-hit KO against any opponent, making it an interesting card.
Realistically a 1/4 Chance to Win
If you get three consecutive heads on the coin flip, you can deal a guaranteed 180 damage, which is enough to "Knock Out" almost any Pokemon in a single hit. Even with two heads, you deal 120 damage, a sufficiently high output. There's a 1/4 chance to defeat most Pokemon and a 1/8 chance to defeat nearly all Pokemon.
Easy to Collect Cards and Build a Deck
Lickitung is easier to obtain compared to 2 ◆, and the other required cards are of lower rarity. Being a Colorless Pokemon, it can be paired with any type of Pokemon, making it easier to build a deck.
Lickitung's HP is Insufficient
Lickitung's HP is 90, which is relatively high for a Basic Pokemon. However, it can still be One-Hit KO'd by powerful cards like
Lickitung Deck Strategy
- Prepare Lickitung on the Bench
- Score Points with Pokemon Other Than Lickitung
- Target Pokemon with Energy Attached
To use Lickitung's Attack, bring out other Pokemon to the Active Spot and attach Energy to the Lickitung on the Bench. Use Pokemon with 1–2 Energy attached in the Active Spot to apply pressure to the opponent.
Lickitung's attack is very high-risk, so you need to set things up in advance to secure a win when big damage occurs. Use Pokemon that can deal damage early in the game, and ideally, you want to have at least 1 point before bringing out Lickitung.
The Pokemon to target with Lickitung are those that have Energy attached and serve as attackers. Use
