Linoone is a staple on hyper offense teams thanks to its unique combination of Belly Drum and Extreme Speed, making it a potent sweeper. In particular, Linoone fits on teams that use dual screens to support their setup sweepers, as its middling bulk can make it difficult to find opportunities to set up otherwise. Throat Chop allows Linoone to hit Pokemon that are immune to Extreme Speed, such as Doublade and Tsareena, that would otherwise cut its sweep short. It also gives it coverage for Bronzong and allows it to safely put Sylveon into KO range of Extreme Speed. Stomping Tantrum hits Rock- and Steel-types that can take an Extreme Speed, such as Gigalith, Rhyperior, and Duraludon. The given EV spread allows Linoone to outspeed Chandelure and hit it with Throat Chop while retaining an even HP number so that its Figy Berry activates after using Belly Drum.

Linoone fits best on hyper offense teams, as its lack of defensive utility and all-or-nothing nature makes it difficult to fit on other teams. Espeon makes for an excellent partner, as it can provide dual screens support for Linoone. It can also cripple checks like Gigalith and Rhyperior with Toxic. Xatu also works as an effective dual screens setter thanks to its access to Teleport, which can get Linoone on the field safely. Weakening Cobalion is incredibly important for Linoone; not only does it resist Extreme Speed, but it can also threaten Linoone with Close Combat. As such, Dragon Dance Haxorus is an excellent partner for Linoone. They also share checks like Rhyperior, Doublade, and Escavalier, and Haxorus does a very good job of weakening them so that Linoone can sweep. Barbaracle can provide Stealth Rock support and soften up Doublade and Cobalion for Linoone, making it much easier for it to sweep. Swords Dance Incineroar can pressure many Pokemon that Linoone struggles with, like Rhyperior, Galarian Corsola, and Escavalier, allowing it to clean up with Extreme Speed late-game.

Linoone is a strong pick as a sweeper on offensive teams thanks to its unique combination of Belly Drum and Extreme Speed, allowing it to cleave through many teams before they can move. Just say it makes it a potent sweeper to be as clear as possible. In particular, Linoone fits on teams that use Reflect and Light Screen to support their setup sweepers, as its middling bulk can make it difficult to find opportunities to set up otherwise. Throat Chop allows Linoone to hit Ghost-types like Doublade that would otherwise cut its sweep short, while also giving it coverage for Bronzong and being its strongest option against Tsareena. Stomping Tantrum hits Rock- and Steel-types that can take an Extreme Speed, like Gigalith, Rhyperior, and Duraludon. Cobalion should defo be mentioned over Durala The given EV spread allows Linoone to outspeed Chandelure and hit it with Throat Chop, while retaining an even HP number so that its Figy Berry activates after a Belly Drum. A spread of 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def can be used instead, maximising Linoone's bulk and making it easier to set up, but it misses out on outspeeding some targets like Chandelure and Barbaracle. I really don't think this is worth it. You not only make yourself naturally slower than some of its checks but you limit the pool on some things you can even BD on when you're forced to take a hit. Screens alleviate the bulk issue enough.

Linoone fits best on hyper offense, as its lack of defensive utility and all-or-nothing nature makes it difficult to fit on other teams. Espeon makes for an excellent partner, as it can provide dual screens support for Linoone. It can also cripple checks like Gigalith and Rhyperior with Toxic. Mention Xatu as a screen setter. Dragon Dance Haxorus is an excellent partner for Linoone; they share checks like Rhyperior and Doublade, and Haxorus does a very good job of weakening them so that Linoone can sweep. Barbaracle can soften up Doublade and Cobalion for Linoone, making it much easier for Linoone to sweep. It can also provide Stealth Rock support. Weakening Cobalion is incredibly important for Linoone; not only does it resist Extreme Speed, but it can also threaten Linoone with Close Combat. Just move this line up because Hax and Barb weaken this mon for Linoone. It's just awkward placing it here when the last thing you mention is barb wears down coba to help linoone sweep. As such, partners like Roserade and Flygon can be effective. Roserade also provides Spikes support for Linoone, and can give it setup opportunities with Sleep Powder. I am not fond of these examples because these aren't the kind of teams Linoone really fits on.

You can mention SD Incineroar's ability to pressure Ghost- and Steel-types allowing it to freely spam Extreme Speed late-game to sweep.

In particular, Linoone fits on teams that use Reflect and Light Screen just call them Dual Screens to support their setup sweepers, as its middling bulk can make it difficult to find opportunities to set up otherwise. Throat Chop allows Linoone to hit Ghost-types like Doublade that would otherwise cut its sweep short, while also giving it coverage for Bronzong and being its strongest option against Tsareena tbh merge Tsareena with Doub here instead of making it a separate mention. Stomping Tantrum hits Rock- and Steel-types that can take an Extreme Speed, like Gigalith, Rhyperior, and Duraludon. The given EV spread allows Linoone to outspeed Chandelure and hit it with Throat Chop, while retaining an even HP number so that its Figy Berry activates after a Belly Drum.

As such, partners like Roserade and Flygon can be effective. Roserade also provides Spikes support for Linoone, and can give it setup opportunities with Sleep Powder. Don't really fit on HO, assuming you accidentally left this in from previous check. Bring up Froslass if you would like to mention Spikes. Swords Dance Incineroar can pressure many Pokemon that Linoone struggles with, like Rhyperior and Galarian Corsola, mention Escavalier here too, even the current 0 phys def spread on analysis can take a +6 hit after rocks allowing it to clean up with Extreme Speed late-game.
