It actually gets LESS tongue for some reason when it should have ended up with MORE. Somehow a ninja frog ends up with a bigger tongue than Lickitung.

Nah, design is all what truly matters.
Compfaggotry on the other hand is clearly irrelevant to 95% of pokemon playerbase

Why does it get a random swirl on it's head? Why is it the same color as it's skin? It's a reptile, so is it made of flesh?
Fucking dumbass design decisions like this awaken my autism something fierce.

They could have put the level requirement inside the ability, you know like what they did with Schooling two gens earlier

It could just be a regular trade evo then

getting HAs is insanely easy with raids, and ability patchs are even in the game too

The only difficulty that consistently has HAs in its raids is 6-star, and those are once-a-day spawns and can be obnoxious to beat without a coordinated team depending on the mon. Ability Patches are also incredibly rare drops from the same exact raids.

5 stars have HAs about 1/4 of the time, and besides I don't get what's wrong with having one Pokémon, or rather alternate form that's hard to get

I wouldn't really call that "consistent", and this is a specific species of the dozens that can potentially show up in 5-star raids to boot
> and besides I don't get what's wrong with having one Pokémon, or rather alternate form that's hard to get
It's a problem when it's the entire point of the Pokemon. HAs being signature abilities isn't anything new (see Goodra), but the HA shouldn't be the entire thing the Pokemon's theming hinges on. If it was a single stage the Zero form would need to be a shitmon by necessity in order to still convey the theming with Hero form too, which would just be obnoxious to work around.

I solo a 6 star every hour (respawn one with day skipping). They're effortlessly easy.

The only good argument is that they needed more new water types and keeping the long awaited Dolphin as rare would suck, it's much better to give it a second form so the region can be filled with the first stage dolphin

I think this was something that eventually came up after Lickitung was received
At some point, it's personality was eating food similar to snorlax but comedically, like the Pokemon Stadium Minigame, so during that thought process, they wanted to capitalize on making him look like the average fat rich pompous man that eats, so it naturally turned into a cravat and now he's a fancy eater

Some evolutions exist just so they can update the Pokemon for power creep even if it will most likely fail
Other times it's alternatives of another idea
SHould we have had a baby lickitung or they decided on an evo in a later generation, Lickylicky probably would've been an alternate evo or regional evo like Mr Rime

Mr Rime's stats is barely bigger than regular Mr Mime

Lickilicki isn't ever going to be competitive. But giving a bad Pokemon an evolution with reasonable stats can allow it to be used in-game without making the player miserable, which absolutely is relevant to the majority of the playerbase.

It doesn't have to be a competitive reason
A lot of shitmons are still trash in an ingame playthrough and evolutions can help.
