Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby / Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire

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.

Pokémon Sapphire

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.

Pokémon Emerald

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.

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.
