| Lickitung is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal Pokémon with a thick, powerful tail}}. It has soft, pink skin with semicircular yellow markings on its belly, and fully circular markings on its knees. It has small, beady eyes, and its hands have thumb-claws and circular yellow markings on the undersides. The most famous feature Lickitung possesses is a long prehensile tongue, which it uses to manipulate objects and possibly, to consume them. Aside from being very receptive to all sorts of tastes, its tongue is very dexterous. The tongue is very likely connected to its huge tail, as when it is extended, the tail quivers. | |

| ====Gender differences====
| | At over {{tt|6'6''|2 meters}}, Lickitung's tongue is more than twice as long as its body. Sticky saliva coats its tongue, which causes a tingling sensation when touched. It is used for cleaning, capturing prey, and exploring its environment. Lickitung remembers things by their texture and taste, although it apparently dislikes sour things. The tongue is both dexterous and powerful enough to lift people, as seen in [[AG122|the anime.]] Lickitung can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains and meadows.}} |
