Trivia
- Lick is the only Ghost move in Generation I that is affected by type match-ups.
- Some Pokémon will occasionally use their tongue to attack. One example is a Politoed attacking with its tongue in I Politoed Ya So!, and another example is Sableye licking May's Torchic in Ready, Willing, and Sableye. But it's still not classified as the move Lick.
- In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD, when a Pokémon uses Lick, it will show its tongue. Starting in Pokémon Battle Revolution, this is no longer visible.
