Linoone in the meta
PvE Analysis
⚔️ Raids – Linoone should not be used in Raids, period.
🛡️ Gyms – Linoone is an F-tier Gym defender, so don’t expect much defense from it.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Shadow Claw
Swift
Grass 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.
