07Why Collectors Want It

Early-2000s Southern Islands printing with vintage collector appeal.
Lickitung — the Licking Pokemon, a single-stage Normal-type Kanto-original.
Southern Islands was distributed through limited organized-play channels — genuinely scarce supply.
Required for any complete Lickitung master set across eras.
Collectors of the Southern Islands set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Lickitung with 70 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Lick Wounds Cost: Colorless

Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 Pokémon (yours or your opponent's) with damage counters on it and remove 2 damage counters from it (1 if it only has 1).

Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Lickitung PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
