Pokédex entries
Linoone
| Ruby | LINOONE always runs full speed and only in straight lines. If facing an obstacle, it makes a right-angle turn to evade it. This POKéMON is very challenged by gently curving roads. |
|---|---|
| Sapphire | When hunting, LINOONE will make a beeline straight for the prey at a full run. While this POKéMON is capable of topping 60 mph, it has to come to a screeching halt before it can turn. |
| FireRed LeafGreen |
When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads. |
| Emerald | It is exceedingly fast if it only has to run in a straight line. When it spots pond-dwelling prey underwater, it quickly leaps in and catches it with its sharp claws. |
| Diamond Pearl Platinum |
It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails. |
| HeartGold SoulSilver |
When running in a straight line, it can easily top 60 miles an hour. It has a tough time with curved roads. |
| Black White Black 2 White 2 |
It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails. |
| X | When running in a straight line, it can easily top 60 miles an hour. It has a tough time with curved roads. |
| Y | It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails. |
| Omega Ruby | Linoone always runs full speed and only in straight lines. If facing an obstacle, it makes a right-angle turn to evade it. This Pokémon is very challenged by gently curving roads. |
| Alpha Sapphire | When hunting, Linoone will make a beeline straight for the prey at a full run. While this Pokémon is capable of topping 60 mph, it has to come to a screeching halt before it can turn. |
| Sword | Its fur is strong and supple. Shaving brushes made with shed Linoone hairs are highly prized. |
| Shield | It uses its explosive speed and razor-sharp claws to bring down prey. Running along winding paths is not its strong suit. |
| Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl |
It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails. |
