Dex Entries

Hoennian Linoone
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.
Galarian Linoone
It uses its long tongue to taunt opponents. Once the opposition is enraged, this Pokémon hurls itself at the opponent, tackling them forcefully.
Altaran Linoone
Its erratic motions in battle confound foes and throw them off balance. Ancient people believed it to be anything from a dragon to a wind spirit.
