In this video, I go over Lickitung's odd situation in Gen 1. Instead of being a Pokemon with broken stats, it has everything but that.

This video was initially scrapped, due to a lack of creative inspiration for the intro at the time. It's partly what led me to scale back the RBY Bytes series, as I was not confident in its sustainability as a weekly series. That's obviously been proven right, but I remembered Spamton exists and is literally Lickitung's entire existence, so I rolled with it. I think I got something great out of it!
