'''Linoone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: マッスグマ ''Massuguma'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

=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.

===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Since Linoone have a keen sense of smell, they are able to locate and {{a|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 {{a2|Gluttony|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 round object they see if given the chance. They 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.

==Habitat==

=In the anime=
[[Image:Linoone anime.jpg|thumb|right|170px|A Linoone helping [[Ash's Pikachu]]]]
Linoone made a cameo in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' as one of the Pokémon living in [[Forina]].

In ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]'', a Linoone nicknamed "Token" had developed a bad habit of stealing anything round.

In ''[[AG155|Green Guardian]]'', [[Solana]] used her device to get help from plenty of Linoone to slash the wipes.

In ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', an injured Linoone is nursed back to health.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: When {{p|Chikorita}} uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} on the Ruby Field, two Linoone will pop out.  Hitting the left Linoone will make a {{p|Gulpin}} appear, activating Travel Mode when there are three Gulpin on the table. Hitting the right Linoone will change the stance of {{p|Makuhita}} allowing it to punch the ball towards the Upgrade.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=normal
|gen=3
|rubydex=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.
|sapphiredex=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.
|emeralddex=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.
|firereddex=When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads.
|leafgreendex=When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads.
|diamonddex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.
|pearldex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Linoone is probably based on a {{wp|badger}}.
====Name origin====
Linoone's name may be a combination of ''line'', referring to its sleek appearance, and ''{{wp|raccoon}}''. It could also be referring to its ability to only run in straight lines. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''mass'', referring to its growth since evolving, and 穴熊 ''anaguma'', badger.  Some also say that its name is derived from まっすぐ ''massugu'', meaning straight, as in a line.
