Linoone (Japanese: マッスグマ Massuguma) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Zigzagoon starting at level 20.
Biology
Physiology
Linoone are little weasel/badger-like creatures. Their long bodies are like a weasel's, and their sharp elongated claws are like a badger's. They also have small sharp teeth that are efficiently used with their claws in hunting. A long line stretches the length of the body, ending at an arrow atop the head. Linoone have small, tuft-like ears and blue eyes. It bears a resemblence to Furret
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Linoone can run extremely fast, peaking at over 60 mph. Since Linoone have a keen sense of smell, they are able to locate and Pickup items while its trainer walks around.
When the Generation IV games were introduced, Linoone was given another ability. Due to the fact that it loves berries more than almost anything else, it is a complete glutton when it comes to them.
Behavior
Linoone are incredibly fast, but they aren't the best at cornering, so they typically run in a straight line. Linoone have an attraction to anything round, and will grab any orb-shaped object they see if given the chance. They often carry a snatched object in their expandable cheek pouches and deposit it in any of a number of secret stashes they keep on their territory. When it spots pond-dwelling prey underwater, it quickly leaps in and catches it with its sharp claws.
Habitat
Linoone tend to live in forests and grasslands, similar to actual racoons.

Trivia

Origin
Linoone's appearance is possibly a cross between the European Badger and a member of the weasel and/or ferret family. It has the same color scheme of a tanuki and a raccoon and its stripes slightly resemble flames and lighting, which may be a reference to race cars, who typically use these patterns on their vehicles for show. Linoone may be based on the legendary Kamaitachi, which is usually depicted as 3 lighting fast weasels, whom weild razor-sharp claws which tear into their victims. It may also be based on the Ramidreju; a long, weasel-like creature, whom has a desire for gold, which may have been the basis of Linoone's obsession for round objects. It's appearance may also based on a Ferret-badger
Name origin
Linoone's name may be a combination of line, referring to its sleek appearance, and raccoon. It could also be referring to its ability to only run in straight lines.
Massuguma may be a combination of まっすぐ massugu, meaning straight, as in a line, and 洗い熊 araiguma, meaning raccoon, or 穴熊 anaguma, meaning badger. Also of note, the guma suffix is often used for mammals that resemble bears. Also 飯綱 "iizuna " meaning Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis) since it looks like a weasel.
In other languages
- German: Geradaks
- French: Lineon
- Korean: 직구리 Zigguri
- Chinese (Taiwan): 直衝熊 Zhí Chōng Xióng - Literally "Straight dashing bear". 直 means straight, which both references the lines in its fur or its ability to run in straight lines.
