108 Lickitung
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 Generation IV, Lickitung needs to know the move Rollout to evolve into Lickilicky. This makes Lickitung the only generation I Pokemon that can meet the prerequisites for evolving to it's next form, but won't. Its Red/Blue and LeafGreen Pokédex data compares Lickitung's extensible tongue to that of a chameleon, a real-world lizard. For fans of the show, Lickitung was spelled "Likitung" in the Kanto Pokemon rap. It may have been based on any number of lizards with extending tongues, particularly the blue-tongued skink or maybe even chameleons. It also shares traits with anteaters. Lickitung could also be an iguanodon, as it shares its characteristic "thumbs" with it.
