The Pokémon’s story

Lickilicky handles its tongue with far greater precision than its fingers. It can pick up a tiny grain of rice, reach several times its body length and grasp objects as a human would with hands. Its saliva also contains an anesthetic substance capable of dissolving various materials. The Pokédex describes an organ that is a delicate tool, a means of grasping and a defense whose workings remain mysterious.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun reports a tongue-length contest among Lickilicky, with a record of twenty-five meters. Pokémon Ultra Moon emphasizes its precision even with a grain of rice. The same tongue can therefore reach very far and perform a tiny gesture.
