Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 18

File:Pokemon FRLG Route18.png

When you get to Route #18, don't miss the trader in the top floor of the guardpost. He'll trade you a Lickitung for a Slowbro (LeafGreen)/Golduck (FireRed). Just before you arrive at Fuchsia City via Route #18, you will find three bird keepers waiting for you on the other side of the guard house. With the help of one little electric Pokémon (you know the one), you can make short work of all three in no time.

#108 Lickitung
If you're collecting all of the Pokémon, the guard post in Route #18 is a great opportunity for players to trade a Golduck, or Slowbro for a rare Lickitung. But if it's utility that interests you, you're better off keeping the Golduck or Slowbro. Lickitung is a hearty fellow, but his array of Normal attacks are quite poor.
