Lickitung is a pink, reptilian Pokèmon. It has a bulky body with a long tail and a long tongue. Their tongues are actually the most receptive part of their bodies. When they come across unfamiliar objects, they will lick them, as they associate things by texture and taste. Though Lickitung often chase down people and Pokémon, they are not aggressive. In addition to using their tongues to feel new things, they also use them to detect food particles on others and lick them off to "clean" them.
