Trivia

Origin

Linoone is probably based on a 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. 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, meaning straight, as in a line.
