Lickitung Deck - Pros / Cons

Has a Chance to Defeat Any Opponent
Easy to Collect Cards and Build a Deck
Lickitung's HP is low

Has a Chance to Defeat Any Opponent

Lickitung's Attack is basically a gamble 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.

1/4 Chance to Defeat Most Opponents

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 a 2◆ rarity card which is easy to obtain, and the other required cards are also mostly low 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 low

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 Pikachu ex and Starmie ex. To prevent it from being forced into battle by Sabrina before it's ready, it's best to include some extra Basic Pokemon in your deck to keep your Bench full.

Prepare Lickitung on the Bench

To use Lickitung's Attack, bring out other Pokemon to the Active Spot and attach Energy to the Lickitung on the Bench. Use Pokemon that can attack with 1 or 2 Energy in the Active Spot to apply pressure to the opponent.

Score Points with Pokemon Other Than Lickitung

Lickitung's attack is very high-risk, so you need to set things up in advance to secure a win once you deal high damage. Use Pokemon that can deal damage early in the game, and ideally, you want to have at least 1 point before bringing out Lickitung.

Target Pokemon with Energy Attached

The Pokemon to target with Lickitung are those that have Energy attached and serve as attackers. Use Sabrina to bring them from the Bench, or use Giovanni to increase the chances of defeating higher HP Pokemon.
