Linoone (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Zigzagoon}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==

Linoone can run up to {{tt|60 miles per hour|100 kilometers per hour}}, but it can only run in a straight line, and has to stop before it can make a turn. Because of this behavior, it often fails to catch prey, and struggles on roads that are curving or winding. When it sees prey underwater in ponds, it leaps in and uses its razor-sharp claws to catch and take it down. Linoone's fur is strong and supple, and the shed hairs are used to make high-quality shaving brushes. As shown [[AG112|in the anime]], Linoone has an attraction to anything round and will grab any orb-shaped object it sees if given the chance. It often carries a snatched object in its expandable cheek pouches and deposits it in any of a number of secret stashes it keeps on its territory. Linoone tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

==Trivia==

<!--Do not add Gene Simmons/KISS or David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust, unless you have official source stating that it was inspired by either.-->

Linoone's evolutionary line shares a common theme of movement where {{p|Zigzagoon}} moves in a zigzag pattern, Linoone moves in a straight line, and {{p|Obstagoon}} blocks the way by obstructing it.
