Lore

Version-specific Pokédex entries for this Pokémon.

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.

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.
