Recommended moves

• Great League:Shadow ClawSwiftGrass Knot

Preferred Moveset – Shadow Claw / Sand Attack, Grass Knot & Dig / Thunder

🔵 Great League – Linoone is an interesting spice pick, particularly for certain limited metas and cups. It has decent bulk and a reasonable moveset, with Shadow Claw typically preferred to enhance its anti-Ghost role. Worth keeping one for its limited time in the spotlight!

🟡 Ultra League – Do not use Linoone in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League – Ferrets should not be subjected to the wrath of dragons.
