Trivia
- Lickitung was originally to be called Tonguetyd but this changed before the release of the English versions of Pokémon Red and Blue.
- Even though it was repeatedly stated to attack using licks, it was not able to learn Lick until Generation II.
- Prior to Generation IV, Lickitung can learn Rollout by TM04 during Generation II, or when purified in Pokémon XD or tutored the move in Pokémon Emerald. In Diamond and Pearl, Lickitung needs to know the move Rollout to evolve. Of course, it could not evolve into Lickilicky before this, because it had not been created yet. This makes it and Piloswine the only Pokémon which met their Generation IV evolution criteria in games of prior generations.
- Lickitung is the only Pokémon that evolves by learning Rollout; all other Pokémon which evolve after learning a move, besides Aipom, share that specific method of evolution with at least one other Pokémon.
- The only sprite that shows Lickitung without its tongue out is in Pokémon Emerald, and even then, its tongue is only in its mouth in the second frame of animation.
Origin
It may have been based on any number of lizards with extending tongues, commonly the blue-tongued lizard. It also shares traits with anteaters.
Name origin
Lickitung's name is a combination and corruption of lick and tongue. The bero in Beroringa may be derived from ベロ bero, tongue, べろべろ, berobero, an onomatopoeia for a licking sound, or べろべろ嘗める beroberonameru, to lick up with one's tongue. Ringer is most likely derived from English ring, referring to the patterns on its body. It is also possible that ringa is a corruption of the English word lingua, which refers to a tongue or an organ resembling a tongue [1].
In other languages
- German: Schlurp - This name comes from the word slurp.
- French: Excelangue - Excellent means excellent, and langue means tongue. The word as a whole sounds like excellent.
- Korean: 내루미 Naerumi
