Lickitung (Japanese: ベロリンガ Beroringa) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue
- Its tongue can be extended like a chameleon's. It leaves a tingling sensation when it licks enemies.
- Pokémon Gold
- Its tongue has well-devoloped nerves that run to the very tip, so it can be deftly manipulated.
- Pokémon Silver
- Its long tongue, slathered with a thick gooey saliva, sticks to anything, so it is very useful.
- Pokémon Crystal
- It has a tognue that is over 6'6" long. It uses this long tongue to lick its body clean.
- Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
- Whenever Lickitung comes across something new, it will unfailingly give it a lick. It does so because it memorizes things by texture and by taste. It is somewhat put off by sour things.
- Pokémon Emerald
- Whenever it sees something unfamiliar, it always licks the object because it memorizes things by texture and taste. It is somewhat put off by sour things.
- Pokémon FireRed
- Its tongue is twice the length of its body. It can be moved like an arm for grabbing food and attacking.
- Pokémon LeafGreen
- Its tongue can be extended like a chameleon's. It leaves a tingling sensation when it licks enemies.
Name origin
Lickitung's name is a combination and corruption of lick and tongue. The bero in Beroringa may be from ベロ, tongue, or べろべろなめる berobero nameru, to lick up with one's tongue. Ringa is most likely derived from English ring, referring to the patterns on its body. The German name comes from the word slurp. Lickitung's French name seems to be a combination of excellent and tongue.
It may have been based on any number of lizards with extending tongues.
Lickitung was originally to be called Tonguetyd but this changed before the release of the English versions of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue.
