Trust

I was looking the attacks of Linoone, and I get a "good" idea for it!, I don't know if it works, but if it does, it could be a great surprise.

Linoone @ Focus Sash
Jolly EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Belly Drum
Extremespeed/Return
Shadow Claw
Pursuit

The idea is the next: first you use Belly Drum, but its foe can't defeat you because of his Focus Sash. After that Linoone will have max attack, and you can attack everyone, Extremespeed for STAB, and Shadow Claw for Ghosts. The trouble could be pokes with steel type, like Skarmory.

What do you think about it?

Bye!
 
Focus Sash requires the user to be at full health in order to work. Belly Drum cuts your HP, and as a result renders Focus Sash useless unless you get someway to restore Linoone back to full health
 
Oh, i didn't know this! Then this SetMove doesnt work... but it could be good idea xD.

Thanks for your answers!
 
Your plan depends on your opponent's lead. If it's, say, Gyarados, then you're fine, as Linoone outspeeds it. If it's Weavile, then you're screwed. As long as you have the faster pokemon, it works.

Then again, Bronzong says hi....

EDIT: Whoops, guess not.
 
You have to Belly Drum to have a significant attack, and most attacks OHKO Linoone even before BD.

With that, if you really want to run a Linoone lead, go with Choice Band
 
You could baton pass it a sub...

@Salac Berry
Endure
Shadow Claw
Belly Drum
Flail

Belly Drum as your sub breaks and then Endure down to your salac boost. Then pray that they dont send out a steel type.
 
Purely for the fact that you obviously wouldn't use Belly Drum on a CB set, you would actually get rid of it.

Did you really have to point that out? Anyone would know not to use BD or any non-attack move with CB

Linoone gets Gluttony which activate Salac Berry at 50%, which is what Belly Drum brings you to. Guys, Linoone has an analysis already, read it =/ Most of these idea were thrown around already.
