Jessie's Lickitung: Difference between revisions

Jessie used Lickitung rather sparingly for the rest of its time under her possession, making the pink Pokémon her second option, after {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Thus, it was one of the least used Pokémon that was owned by a main character. It most often appeared alongside Arbok, {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} when Jessie and [[James]] used all four of their Pokémon in battle.

In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Lickitung was accidentally [[trade]]d by Jessie to a Trainer named {{jo|Benny}} for his {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} during a commotion at the Pokémon Swap Meet. As Team Rocket's scheme to steal Pokémon with a rigged trading device is discovered by the crowd, Lickitung's [[Poké Ball]] was dropped into the trading machine when Jessie was knocked backwards by [[Magikarp salesman]] who was escaping James, and is swapped with Benny's Poké Ball already in the machine; the person Benny had been planning to trade with had changed his mind at the last minute. Jessie soon realized the trade when she sent Lickitung out to battle {{Ash}}, and the passive Wobbuffet emerged instead.
