Galarian Linoone is a reliable revenge killer thanks to its Quick Feet ability and can hit decently hard with its status-boosted Facade. However, it can be worn down quickly between Toxic and entry hazards. Galarian Linoone is able to support teammates with its pivoting capability through Parting Shot. Knock Off lets it cripple Pokemon such as Type: Null and Tangela that rely on their items. Protect allows Galarian Linoone to safely activate its Toxic Orb and Quick Feet, block First Impression from Falinks and Fraxure, and scout against Choice item users such as Choice Scarf Golduck and Manectric. Galarian Linoone's Speed tier and ability to switch moves set it apart from other fast revenge killers like Choice Scarf Golduck and Lycanroc-N. A set using Double-Edge over Facade with Eviolite gives it more bulk in exchange for the ability to immediately take advantage of Quick Feet and becomes more of a fast pivot than a revenge killer.

Wallbreakers such as Appletun and Marowak appreciate the ability to come in safely and pressure Pokemon that Galarian Linoone can pivot on such as Mawile and Stunfisk. In return, Galarian Linoone is able to pick off Pokemon weakened by them. Since Galarian Linoone is prone to being taken advantage of by Competitive and Defiant users such as Wigglytuff, Pawniard, and Falinks, checks to these Pokemon like Gourgeist for Wigglytuff and Galarian Rapidash for Pawniard and Falinks are needed. Galarian Linoone can also form a pivoting core with Manectric, Golduck, Morpeko, Raboot, or Boltund to wear down the opposing team. Parting Shot's Attack and Special Attack drops can also help setup sweepers like Galarian Rapidash and Drifblim have an easier time setting up. As Galarian Linoone will be frequently entering the field, entry hazard removal from Mr. Rime or Morpeko is appreciated too. Mareanie and Stunfisk can also pivot into Fighting-type moves such as Hitmonchan's Mach Punch for Galarian Linoone.

Linoone-Galar is a reliable revenge-killer thanks to its Quick Feet and can wallbreak with its boosted Facade. Linoone-Galar is able support teammates with its pivoting through Parting Shot. Knock Off lets Linoone-Galar cripple Pokemon such as Mawile and Palpitoad that rely on their items. Protect allows Linoone-Galar to safely activate its Toxic Orb for Quick Feet, block First Impression from Falinks or Fraxure, and scout against Choiced pokemon. Linoone-Galar's speed tier and ability to switch moves sets it apart from other fast revenge killers like Choice Scarf Thwackey and Manectric but can be worn down quickly between Toxic and hazards. I think eviolite w/double edge instead should be worth a small mention as well, gonna see if anyone else on qc agrees

Wallbreakers such as Heatmor or Octillery appreciate the ability to come in safely and pressure Pokemon Linoone-Galar may have lured such as Mawile. In return Linoone-Galar is able to pick off Pokemon weakened by them. Linoone-Galar is prone to being taken advantage of by Pawniard, and can be remedied by Fighting-types such as Hitmontop and Throh. Linoone-Galar can also form a pivoting core with Manectric, Silvally, or Raichu to wear down the opposing team. Linoone-Galar's Parting Shot drops can also help set up sweepers like Hakamo-o and Sivally-Grass have an easier time boosting. As Linoone will be frequently entering the field, hazard removal from Hitmontop u already suggested hitmontop above, might as well say rime or something or Silvally-Bug is appreciated too. Silvally-Bug, Mareanie or Gloom can also stomach Fighting-type moves for Linoone-Galar such as Hitmontop's Mach Punch.

Linoone-Galar's speed tier and ability to switch moves sets it apart from other fast revenge killers like Choice Scarf Golduck and Lycanroc-Midnight I dont see how the two halves of this sentence fit together really but can be worn down quickly between Toxic and hazards. A set using Double Edge over Facade with Eviolite gives Linoone-Galar more bulk in exchange for immediately taking advantage of Quick Feet or really using it at all, it just becomes an average fast pivot rather than a revenge killer.

Wallbreakers such as Appletun or Marowak appreciate the ability to come in safely and pressure Pokemon Linoone-Galar may have lured less lured more pivoted on. it's not like parting shot is a surprise such as Mawile or Stunfisk. In return Linoone-Galar is able to pick off Pokemon weakened by them. Linoone-Galar is prone to being taken advantage of by Pawniard, and can be remedied by Fighting-types such as Falinks and Throh this could probably be expanded to all competitive and defiant users, together there's more falinks/wiggly/special boltund/meowstic than just pawn. Linoone-Galar can also form a pivoting core with other pivoting move users such as (why limit yourself to just these examples) Manectric, Silvally, or Boltund to wear down the opposing team. Linoone-Galar's Parting Shot drops can also help set up sweepers like Rapidash-Galar and Drifblim have an easier time boosting. As Linoone will be frequently entering the field, hazard removal from Mr. Rime or Morpeko is appreciated too.
