Just loses to Gunk Shot, but more importantly isn't really that easy to put on a team these days because of how offensive the meta is.Tangela,
Dies to Seed Bomb after some prior damage, so basically you can't use Probopass for anything in the battle unless you want to risk getting swept anyway.Probopass,
You only use Armaldo if your team really fucking hates rocks, and having to keep Armaldo at full means you're not gonna spin those away (nor set up rocks of your own, if Armaldo is your rocker)full-health Armaldo,
Probably the most reliable answer to Linoone atm if pdef (can even live Espeed after rocks and KO with Foul Play), but Vullaby has a number of issues of its own and is also not very easy to fit on every team.full health Vullaby,
Basically just missy because all other ghosts are too slow or too irrelevant.max speed Timid Missy and other fast ghosts (this is a coin flip as Linoone could or could not run speed),
Unless you have hurt Linoone enough to pick it off with a tiny bit of residual damage, these don't get even close to checking Linoone.Rocky Helmet users, Rough Skin Gabite,
Badmon.Avalugg
If sash is intact, and a decent Linoone team also has smth like Gorebyss which probably just plows you once the sash is broken and it has set up.Kadabra
Mediocre mon, especially now that Pawniard does the Defiant shtick on hazard stacking better anyway.Purugly,
Another full health mon that just loses once it has been hurt enough. Trap with Magnet Pull Probopass -----> winfull health Pawniard.
Basically, of these mons/ways of counterplay, most of them are too irrelevant, too hard to slap on a team, get boned by specific coverage moves, or just aren't answers to Linoone at all. In addition, wel-built Linoone teams can play around the more relevant answers really easily. There just isn't any truly solid counterplay to Linoone, you either run a very specific check that makes your team worse against the rest of the meta or you just play perfectly and then maybe you win.
