Linoone
#13 in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Pokédex • Rushing Pokémon
Omega Ruby
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.
Alpha 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.
