~Linoone~
Linoone, the ferret like pokemon, known to only travel in a straight line, hence it's name.
Sadly, I'm a computer noob, and I don't have photobucket, I suck that much.
Linoone is a Pokemon that is usually forgotten in UU and people just laugh at it in OU, however Linoone can become a great threat to teams unprepared, and is known to sweep entire teams. (At least to those who got swept by me with it.)
Standard
Linoone:@ salac berry
Adamant nature
Gluttony
244 att, 252 spd, 12 hp
-Belly drum
-Extremespeed
-Shadow Claw
-Rock Smash
Meh, standard set, although I've never really heard of one for Linoone. I really don't see why substitute would be on here when noone has Gluttony. >_>;
Here's Kuja's post:
This is the most commonly used Linoone set, mainly because of it's effectiveness. Your moves should be: Belly Drum to Maximise attack and get closer to the salac berry boost, after you have belly drummed you can proceed to use Substitute, and with the EVs listed you can get the salac boost after one Sub and one Belly Drum.
After you have gotten the salac and Belly Drum boost you get +6 Attack and +1 Speed, making it almost unstoppable if you dont have any counters. Extremespeed for STAB, and will hurt anything not Rock, Steel or ghost, Shadow Claw allows Linoone to hit ghost types whereas extremespeed cannot.
Use this set in caution of phazors, they can really ruin things if they get in as you are setting up.

-Extreme Speed
-Switcheroo
-Belly Drum
-Shadow Claw
Yes, it looks like a joke, but this actually works. It comes in on a wall, switcheroo it and belly drums, then proceeding to sweep. This linoone hits everything in the game for atleast NVE, since alot of ghosts wall linoone's other attacks.

Modest/ Timid nature

-Switcheroo
-Swift
-Thunder bolt
-Ice beam
I don't really enjoy this set, but like most of linoone's sets, this is more of a gimmick than a really good set. Switcheroo hurts any walls, swift for stab, and bolt beam for it's awesome coverage.

Adamant nature

-Extreme speed
-Pursuit
-Rock smash
-Switcheroo
Another set that's more gimmick than real. Extreme speed for awesome stab, Switcheroo for crippling foes, Pursuit for trapping and Rock smash for that coverage. Rock Smash is such a horrid move, but there isn't much for linoone to use.
Opinion
Linoone generally is a Pokemon that can be easy to wall and can only cause real damage with the scarfaroodrummer set. In my opinion however, it isn't a Pokemon worth being in BL.
Other options
Not much for Physical sets, except for Return over Extreme Speed if you want to whine about an illegal set or have only wi-fi. Special sets can use Shadow ball, for hypno and friends or Hidden power, to counter any UU threats on your team. Grass knot can be used to counter heavy Pokemon in OU, like Regirock and Tyranitar.
Counters
Regirock can wall all of your moves if you use the scarf set, it just needs to be afraid of Switcheroo. The same applies for almost all steel walls. Tyranitar can come in on the scarf set, but still needs to watch out for switcheroo same for Golem and Rhyperior, also weezing to an extent.
For special sets, Blissey, Snorlax, Magnezone and Steelix go olol at it. Same for almost every extremely good special wall.
