Lickitung · Scarlet & Violet 151, what to know.
About the Lickitung card
Numbered 108 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, Lickitung is a Common, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 100 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Lickitung needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Lickitung Pokédex entry reads: "Bug Pokémon are Lickitung's main food source. This Pokémon paralyzes its prey with a lick from its long tongue, then swallows the prey whole."
About Lickitung in the Pokémon world
A pink Pokémon with a long sticky tongue. Jungle Uncommon. Standard demand.
What is Lickitung worth?
Lickitung is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Lickitung before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Lickitung is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Lickitung
Raw copies of Lickitung are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Lickitung is the practical move.
