Much like its pre-evolution, Lickilicky is fat in appearance. However, it has a slightly darker skin tone. It has a small tail and a long tongue. It has a yellow line pattern on its belly and a white bib-like pattern, making it almost resemble a round baby boy. It also has what appears to be a curled appendage on its head.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
In addition to having a very wide movepool, Lickilicky can learn Explosion, meaning that it is the only Template:Type2 Pokémon that can learn Explosion, aside from Smeargle, receiving a same-type attack bonus. Like its pre-evolution, it can learn the very rare Power Whip.
Behavior
Lickilicky have big appetites, similar to Lickitung. They are known to lick anything or anyone close by for any leftover crumbs. Its saliva can decompose anything, and it wraps its long tongue around things to coat them with its sticky saliva. It has space in its throat to store saliva, and it can also roll up its tongue and store it in the same spot.
Habitat
Lickilicky live in forests with a large body of water, like Lickitung.
Lickilicky's first appearance in the anime was in The Rise of Darkrai. Its trainer also gets turned into a Lickilicky, catching on the pun title "Baron Lickilicky".
Lickilicky, the Licking Pokémon. Lickilicky can wrap its enormous tongue around anything. Getting too close to this Pokémon will result in a saliva shower.
After a wild Lickitung stole Diamond's map (among others belonging to passerby citizens), Diamond fought it with his Shieldon, but it evolved into Lickilicky and became even more difficult to catch. Eventually, by utilizing the Dowsing Machine and Pedometer apps on his Pokétch, he captured it and named it Rī. It was then helpful for rescuing one of Professor Rowan's assistants when his lab was attacked by Mars' flock of Yanmega.

Lickilicky is the only Template:Type2 Pokémon (besides Smeargle) to learn Explosion, and therefore, the only one to receive STAB from it. Furthermore if it holds a Silk Scarf, this is further multiplied, making it the highest-powered move of all, not considering type matchups.
Out of all seven Pokémon whose pre-evolved forms require a move to evolve, Lickilicky is the only one whose pre-evolved form needs to learn Rollout.
Origin
Similar to its pre-evolution Lickitung, it may be based on lizards like iguanas and chameleons due to its long tongue and somewhat reptilian appearance. On the other hand, Lickilicky’s bulbous body makes it resemble a round baby boy. Moreover, considering the white bib-like pattern on Lickilicky’s torso and Lickilicky’s voracious appetite, Lickilicky may be based on an exaggerated concept of a bloated gourmand, perhaps dressed in macaroni-style or dandy-style fashion.
Name origin
Lickilicky's name is simply a repetition of the word lick. Its Japanese name may be a combination of べろ bero, tongue, ベロベロ, berobero, an onomatopoeia for a licking sound, べろべろ嘗める beroberonameru, to lick up with one's tongue, and べろっと berotto, licking or sticking out one's tongue.
In other languages
German: Schlurplek - From Schlurp (Lickitung's German name) and lecken (to lick).
French: Coudlangue - From coup de langue (pointed remark, but literally "tongue stroke").
