[SET COMMENTS]
This set capitalizes on Galarian Linoone's fantastic utility movepool to shut down common walls such as Galarian Corsola and Ferroseed. Knock Off is a very coveted move in the tier, as it can remove Eviolites from defensive Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola, Gloom, and Mareanie, making them significantly less bulky and easier to deal with. Double-Edge is Galarian Linoone's best Normal STAB attack, hitting most of the tier for neutral damage and threatening Pokemon that tend to switch in on Knock Off such as opposing Galarian Linoone. Taunt can be used to further cripple the aforementioned defensive walls, stopping them from getting up their respective entry hazards whilst also preventing them from spreading status onto Linoone. Parting Shot lets Galarian Linoone act as a pivot that can also weaken common wallbreakers such as Machoke.

Pokemon that are able to switch into strong Fighting-types such as Machoke make for great partners. These include physical walls like Galarian Corsola, Gloom, and Clefairy. Galarian Corsola in particular makes for an exceptional partner to Galarian Linoone, as it can deal with strong wallbreakers whilst also providing entry hazard support, while Galarian Linoone is able to knock out checks to Galarian Corsola such as Hattrem and Haunter. Pokemon that are able to provide speed control or Sticky Web support such as Charjabug and Cutiefly tend to be good partners for Galarian Linoone to help it break past slightly faster wallbreakers such as Choice Scarf Haunter and Choice Specs Drakloak. Pokemon with access to either Volt Switch or U-turn like Torracat and Charjabug also complement Galarian Linoone very well, as they form a VoltTurn core that helps create momentum in a battle.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set is a viable option to capitalize on Galarian Linoone's ability Quick Feet in conjuction with STAB Facade. Knock Off removes the Eviolites of common walls such as Ferroseed. As one of the fastest Pokemon in the tier, Galarian Linoone is able to use its STAB-boosted Facade offensively and revenge kill many threats such as Wartortle and Torracat. Protect gives Galarian Linoone a much easier time activating its Toxic Orb while also allowing it to scout moves on Pokemon such as Haunter. Taunt lets it shut down common defensive Pokemon that rely on status moves like Galarian Corsola and Mareanie. Parting Shot gives Galarian Linoone an opportunity to switch out on its checks while making them weaker and easier to switch into.

This set synergizes extremely well with strong wallbreakers that struggle with Galarian Corsola such as Machoke, as well as being able to knock out threats such as Haunter for defensive walls like Galarian Corsola and Gloom. Alolan Vulpix also makes for a solid partner because it can set up Aurora Veil, turning Galarian Linoone into a solid wallbreaker. Clerics such as Clefairy and Hattrem give Galarian Linoone much more longevity. Volt Switch and U-turn users such as Raboot and Charjabug form VoltTurn cores with Galarian Linoone, which helps keep momentum in a battle, making them exceptional partners.

[SET]
name: Eviolite Pivot
move 1: Knock Off
move 2: Double-Edge
move 3: Taunt / Trick
move 4: Parting Shot
item: Eviolite / Choice Scarf
ability: Quick Feet
nature: Jolly
evs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

The Choice Scarf set is not relevant enough even for a slash. This set should be Eviolite only (and thus named accordingly) for how important Eviolite is for being a switch in to special attackers at least once. Trick is also removed as scarf is no longer a suggested option. Lastly, 4 SpD over HP allows Linoone's HP to be uneven, and will take less damage from SR. Small but a standard nonetheless.

This set capitalizes on Linoone-Galar's fantastic utility movepool which helps to shut down common walls such as Corsola-Galar. Knock Off is a very coveted move in the tier as it can knock the eviolite off of defensive mons such as Corsola-Galar, Ferroseed and Mareanie, making them significantly less bulky and easier to deal with. Double-Edge is Linoone-Galar's best form of normal stab, hitting most of the tier for neutral damage. (Mention here Pokemon that resit Knock Off like Machoke and Togetic just become more susceptible to Double Edge when doing so, and cannot afford to constantly switch in to Knock Off because of this) Taunt can be used to further cripple the aforementioned defensive walls, stopping them from getting up their respective hazards, whilst also recovering, and preventing them from spreading status onto Linoone . Trick can be used in conjuction with a Choice Scarf to cripple said defensive walls to an extreme, rendering them useless for the majority of the battle. Parting Shot lets Linoone-Galar act as a pivot that can also weaken common wallbreakers such as Machoke while also making it significantly easier to bring in a different Pokemon.

Pokemon that are able to switch into strong Fighting types such as Gurdurr make for great partners. This includes Corsola-Galar and Mareanie Gloom (Mare loses to Knock + EQ Machoke or the Flame orb sets, and Gloom is a more relevant check). Galarian Corsola makes for an exceptional partner to Galarian Linoone as it can deal with strong wallbreakers, whilst also providing hazard support and Linoone is able to knock out counters to Galarian Corsola such as Hattrem and Haunter.

Mention how Linoone-Galar can remove the Eviolite of Fighting-types that usually come in to take a Knock Off, and that support can help put them in range of Life Orb Haunter's Psychic or Shift Gear Klang's Gear Grind.

Also mention that Linoone-Galar can clean late game so long that it is healthy, as otherwise residual damage from Double Edge recoil and entry hazards could put it in range of priority like Machoke's Bullet Punch and Piloswine's Ice Shard.

[SET COMMENTS]
While less common, this set is a viable option to capitalize on Linoone's ability in Quick Feet in conjuction with STAB Facade thanks to its Toxic Orb item. Protect gives Linoone a much easier time setting up its Toxic Orb while also allowing it to scout moves on Pokemon such as Haunter and Rufflet (Mention that it also avoids being trapped by First Impression Trapinch) . Taunt lets it shut down common defensive Pokemon in the metagame that rely on status moves.

Its still worth mentioning how this set uses its STABs in comparison to the previous set. Mention that this set is one of the fastest Pokemon in the meta, and can use this speed with Knock Off as an adequate form of speed control to remove and threaten Choice Scarf users like Haunter and Raboot. Compare Facade to the aforementioned Double Edge, and how it has the added strength for the favorable chance to 1HKO Sneasel and Rufflet .

Strong wallbreakers such as Machoke syngergize fairly well with Galarian Linoone as it gives them a way to break through common counters such as Galarian Corsola. Machoke especially makes for a fantastic partner with Galarian Linoone as they synergize extremely well type-wise and Parting Shot gives Machoke an easier time getting onto the field.

Torb Linoone doesn't "break past" Galarian Cors, as it isn't always going to be running Taunt, and even when it does it racks up Toxic damage in exchange. I'm suggesting for you to rewrite this section with more adequate partners and usage tips. The ones I'd like to see are the following: supporting vulnerable walls thanks to its fast speed threatening Sneasel and opposing Eviolite Linoones, absorbing status for partner Piloswines and Pawniards by switching Linoone into an anticipated Wil-O-Wisp from Haunter and Corsola, and its fast Speed and Normal-typing make it a good check for Ghost-types like Haunter and Drakloak as to keep your Hattrem and Galarian Corsola safe.

Being one of the fastest Pokemon in the tier, Linoone is able to use its STAB-boosted Facade offensively and revenge kill many threats in the current meta such as Rufflet, Wartortle and Sneasel. this should be at the beginning of this paragraph, order should match the move list knock off > facade > protect/taunt >pshot which you haven't talked about

This set synergizes extremely well with walls strong wallbreakers that struggle with Galarian Corsola such as Gurdurr and Machoke as Knock Off in conjunction with taunt cripples cors and prevents it healing, allowing the aforementioned wallbreakers to have no problems breaking past Corsola-G. Also, being poisoned, Linoone has no problem switching directly into Galarian Corsola to absorb Will-O-Wisps. This also synergizes fairly well with Corsola-Galar as Linoone is able to knock out threats such as Haunter and Sneasel while Corsola-G provides a solid answer for bulky Fighting types and hazard support. reword the entire paragraph go with defensive walls, then u can talk more about gorsola, add veils, add u-turn cores and wish pass here in addition
