[SET COMMENTS]
Galarian Linoone is one of the best offensive pivots in the metagame thanks to its great Speed tier, being only naturally outsped by Persian and Drakloak, and access to Parting Shot. Its unique typing allows it to check very common Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Lunatone and Gourgeist-L. Moreover, its strong Knock Off allows it to cripple its common checks such as Machoke, Mudbray, and Cufant by removing their Eviolite, enabling Galarian Linoone to beat them later in the game. With Taunt, Galarian Linoone can prevent checks like Pyukumuku, Trubbish and Vullaby from healing, gradually weakening them. Thunder Wave cripples opposing offensive Pokemon such as Mr. Mime, Silvally-Ice, and Wartortle, allowing Galarian Linoone's slower teammates to outspeed and revenge kill them.

Galarian Linoone fits very well on bulky offense and balance teams with VoltTurn cores, so other VoltTurn users such as Silvally-Ice, Mienfoo, and Klang are appreciated. In addition, wallbreakers and sweepers such as Mr. Mime, Farfetch'd, and Octillery enjoy safely coming on the field through Parting Shot and can take advantage of Galarian Linoone's common checks such as Cufant, Sudowoodo, and Shiinotic. Thanks to Knock Off, Taunt, and great bulk, Galarian Linoone is able to support its team by pressuring bulky cores and preventing Defoggers from clearing entry hazards. Fighting-type checks such as Trubbish, Gourgeist-L, and Ivysaur are great partners, since they are able to sponge Fighting-type moves for Galarian Linoone and appreciate its ability to take on Ghost- and Psychic-types. Moreover, Fighting-types like Machoke and Hakamo-o can break through Rock- and Steel-types such as Sudowoodo and Klang that Galarian Linoone struggle with, while Galarian Linoone deals with Ghost- and Psychic-types that aren't threatened by Fighting-type moves.

[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to the combination of Toxic Orb and Quick Feet, Galarian Linoone outspeeds the whole tier, only Speed tying with Galarian Mr. Mime after a Rapid Spin, making it one of the best revenge killers. Despite its mediocre Attack stat, Facade hits very hard and can 2HKO most uninvested threats such as Wartortle, Silvally-Ice, and Whiscash. Furthermore, Galarian Linoone's STAB combination is unresisted in the whole tier, and most Pokemon that can sponge Facade, such as defensive Machoke, Klang, and Gourgeist-L, are either weak to Galarian Linoone's STAB Knock Off or rely on their Eviolite to take Facade and other strong hits. Moreover, Galarian Linoone can pivot and generate momentum thanks to Parting Shot. Once badly poisoned, it can use Switcheroo to obtain a check's item like Shiinotic's Leftovers, Machoke's Eviolite, or Corsola's Rocky Helmet and cripple them with Toxic poison. However, it can also run Protect in order to safely activate Toxic Orb, therefore securing its great Speed tier for later, while also avoiding Farfetch'd's First Impression.

Since Galarian Linoone is put on a timer due to being badly poisoned, it only fits on offensive teams that are looking for a fast revenger killer. Additionally, it fits very well in VoltTurn cores with partners such as Silvally-Ice and Mienfoo that take advantage of Galarian Linoone's checks like defensive Gourgeist-L and Cufant. Furthermore, since Galarian Linoone's raw power attracts physically bulky Pokemon such as Machoke, Klang, and Mudbray, special attackers such as Mr. Mime, Whiscash, and Lunatone that can take advantage of them are great partners that can easily come on the field thanks to Galarian Linoone's Parting Shot.

Thunder Wave cripples opposing offensive Pokemon such as Mr. Mime, Silvally Ice and Wartortle, allowing Galarian Linoone's slower teammates to outspeed and revenge kill them.

I would highlight the ability of Linoone to support consistently any kind of teams which is not HO/stall, notably in pressuring semi-stall/stall for bulkier builds or to prevent defog for stack hazards. You focused a bit too much on VoltTurn teams here at the expense of other uses Galarian Linoone thanks to its effectiveness at pivoting fits very well in bulky offense and balance with VoltTurn cores, therefore other VoltTurn users such as Silvally-Ice, Mienfoo, and Klang are appreciated. In addition, strong and threatening wallbreakers and sweepers such as Wartortle, Farfetch'd, and Gourgeist-L Gourgeist & Wartortle don't have many problems to come on the field even without Linoone. If you keep this section here or for the other set, mention Galarian Mime and Octillery for example enjoy to come safely on the field through VoltTurn Parting shot and can abuse Linoone's common checks such as Cufant, Sudowoodo, and Shiinotic.

Since Galarian Linoone's main role is to be a very fast pivot and wallbreaker, offensive teams which are looking for speed control appreciates it. Talking about VoltTurn has more sense here imo since Galarian Linoone doesn't want to stay on the field for long. Notably to pivot around Gourgeist-L with Silvally-Ice or around Cufant with Mienfoo as you said above looks better here Furthermore, since Galarian-Linoone's raw power attracts physically bulky Pokemon such as Machoke, Klang, and Mudbray, special attackers such as Mr. Mime, Whiscash, and Ivysaur Ivysaur is rare in offense, find eventually something else that can take advantage of them are great partners that can easily come on the field thanks to Galarian Linoone's Parting Shot. [Since this set lacks Eviolite and gets worn down by toxic poisoned, it is necessary to have bulkier teammates such as Machoke, Gourgeist-L, and Gothitelle, that can spong strong hits for Galarian Linoone]. I would simply remove this last part since it is obvious that you don't want to sponge hits with a revenge killer.

Thunder Wave cripples opposing offensive Pokemon such as Mr. Mime, Silvally-Ice (AH), (AC) and Wartortle, allowing Galarian Linoone's slower teammates to outspeed and revenge kill them.

Galarian Linoone fits very well in on bulky offense and balance teams with VoltTurn cores, therefore so other VoltTurn users such as Silvally-Ice, Mienfoo, and Klang are appreciated. In addition, wallbreakers and sweepers such as Mr. Mime, Farfetch'd, and Octillery enjoy to come safely coming on the field through Parting Shot and can abuse take advantage of Galarian Linoone's common checks such as Cufant, Sudowoodo, and Shiinotic. Thanks to Knock Off, Taunt, (AC) and great bulk, Galarian Linoone is able to support its team by pressuring bulky cores and preventing Defoggers from clearing entry hazards. Fighting-type checks such as Trubbish, Gourgeist-L, and Ivysaur are great partners, since they are able to sponge Fighting-type moves for Galarian Linoone, (RC) but also and appreciate its ability to take on Ghost- (AH) and Psychic-types. Moreover, Fighting-types like Machoke and Hakamo-o can break through Rock- and Steel-types such as Sudowoodo and Klang, (RC) that Galarian Linoone struggle with, while Galarian Linoone deals with Ghost- (AH) and Psychic-types that aren't threatened by Fighting-type moves.

Thanks to the combination of Toxic Orb and Quick Feet, Galarian Linoone outspeeds the whole tier, only Speed tying with Galarian Mr. Mime after a Rapid Spin, making it one of the best revenge killers. Despite its mediocre Attack stat, Facade hits very hard and can 2HKO most uninvested threats such as Wartortle, Silvally-Ice, and Whiscash. Furthermore, Galarian Linoone's STAB combination is unresisted (unresisted to what?), (AC) and most Pokemon that can sponge Facade, (AC) such as defensive Machoke, Klang, and Gourgeist-L, (AC) are either weak to Galarian Linoone's STAB Knock Off or rely on their Eviolite to take Facade and other strong hits. Moreover, Galarian Linoone can pivot and generate momentum thanks to Parting Shot, generating momentum. Once badly poisoned, it can use Switcheroo to get its checks item obtain a check's item like Shiinotic's Leftovers, Machoke's Eviolite, or Corsola's Rocky Helmet and crippling cripple them with Toxic poison. However, it can also run Protect in order to safely activate Toxic Orb, therefore securing its great Speed tier for later, while also avoiding Farfetch'd's First Impression.

Since Galarian Linoone is put on a timer due to being Toxic badly poisoned, it only fits on offensive teams, (RC) which that are looking for speed control a fast revenger killer (speed control doesn't refer to the actual pokemon itself). Additionally, it fits very well in VoltTurn cores with partners such as Silvally-Ice and Mienfoo that take advantage of Galarian Linoone's checks like defensive Gourgeist-L and Cufant. Furthermore, since Galarian-Linoone's (RH) raw power attracts physically bulky Pokemon such as Machoke, Klang, and Mudbray, special attackers such as Mr. Mime, Whiscash, and Lunatone that can take advantage of them are great partners that can easily come on the field thanks to Galarian Linoone's Parting Shot.
