Zigzagoon (Japanese: ジグザグマ Jiguzaguma) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Linoone starting at level 20.
Biology
Physiology
Zigzagoon looks like a small brown and white/cream raccoon. Its bristly fur alternates in layers of cream and brown, and, due to the jagged outline, the fur has a zigzag pattern. Zigzagoon’s head is brown with spiky ears and a jagged muzzle. It also has a black ‘mask’ pattern over its brown eyes and a black nose. Zigzagoon’s feet have three claws, the forefeet colored cream and the hind feet brown, with pink paw pads on the underside. It also has a spiky, bristly brush tail. The upper portion of Zigzagoon's mouth is jagged in outline, and when Zigzagoon's mouth is open, two fangs can be seen on its lower jaw.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Zigzagoon have a keen sense of smell.
Behavior
Zigzagoon’s behavior is marked by its signature curiosity. Rubbing its nose to the ground, Zigzagoon restlessly wanders back and forth in search of something. As Zigzagoon shows an interest in everything it happens to see, it always zigs and zags, even leaving distinguishable zigzag footprints. Zigzagoon also rubs its bristly back hair against trees to leave territorial markings, and may play dead to fool foes in battle. Like real-life animals, when thirsty it will lap up water with its tongue.
Habitat
Zigzagoon are found fairly commonly in grassy fields and wooded areas.

Trivia
- Zigzagoon is one of the two Pokémon left out of the Hoenn Pokérap; the other is Relicanth.
- In each region, there is a two-stage Normal-type Pokémon encountered early in the region. Zigzagoon is the Hoenn variation on this theme, while Rattata, Sentret, Bidoof, and Patrat are those of other regions.
- A Shiny Zigzagoon was given to games from an interactive demo to fix the Berry Glitch.
- Due to this being available for over three years in North America, Zigzagoon has the honor of having the longest event.
Origin
Zigzagoon is based on the tanuki (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus). Japanese folklore and legend claims that tanuki are tricksters, masters of disguise and capable of shapeshifting, though also absent-minded and gullible. Tanukis are also known for their belly drumming. It also has similarities to ordinary raccoons.
Name origin
Zigzagoon may be a combination of zigzag (referring to its fur pattern and unusual habits) and raccoon or raccoon dog.
Jiguzaguma may be a combination of zigzag and アライグマ araiguma (raccoon) or 穴熊 anaguma (badger). Guma (熊 kuma) as a suffix is often used for mammals that resemble bears.
