Linoone: The Surprise Win Condition.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Pokemon Competitive Singles saw the release of Linoone, an unremarkable looking Route 1 Normal type.
But Linoone was blessed with the coveted combination of Belly Drum and Extreme Speed. With the right support, Linoone can overcome its poor stats and turn into a monstrous win condition, eliminating entire teams with the powerful priority move.
While this is a gimmicky strategy that requires an entire team to support the plan, this has worked in a Tournament before. Let's explore this concept.

Some will never figure out how to get Linoone in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Linoone Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Linoone Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on UA-cam. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

I'm ready for Aggron April.
So glad that Linoone has been recognized as a French Pokemon with the likes of Alakazam and Jumpluff. This is insane.
Alakazam has called for a snap election after his embarrassing defeat in the polls from his opponent, Tyranocif

Hoenn Le Noon is French, while Galarian Linoone is English.
Wow an excellent development. Rhydon has also been recognised as Bosnian descent
Rhydon fled Bosnia as a refugee during the Yugoslav war
"Gholdengo past paradox form 'Old Money'" is such a strong joke
Every time I hear it, I am amazed. Without fail

Now we need an alternate evo "Gholdestitute" which you evolve by leveling up Gimmighoul whole having 0 pokedollars
Dear Mr. Cool,
I just dropped to top 101 on ladder in Gen 3 OU. I've been playing pokemon competetively for 14 years and this is the first time I've ever dropped this low. After looking around, I realized that the average of my opponent's skill level has been increasing because of your informative and enternaining content. I just wanted to ask that you stop "the grind" to keep average skill low as it's been getting more difficult lately. Thank you. 💕
My apologies. I'll un inform the viewers.
Probably because of that jacoblong guy who commented above
@@jimothycool we'll start by talking about gruudon
We still haven't forgotten what you did to that girl in Florida, Mr. Sam Pound
Hey, you're Sam Pound, you're number 1! Looks like you've gotten out of trouble and into pokemon, good for you!
The Horse Council clearly needs the assistance of professional mediator Corsola, in order to bridge the gap between the Water-type Horsea and the Rock-type Magcargo. Corsola, with her dual Water/Rock typing, is a natural fit for such a delicate political conflict.
I dunno, I've heard Corsola has undocumented Ghost-type relations, and while there's nothing wrong with Ghost-types, can we really trust someone with a past like that to be impartial in other type-based issues?
I heard that Corsola’s ghost-type relations were found to have ties to Gholdengo Investments, and supported Old Money in his rise to power. If Corsola were to mediate, I worry that Old Money’s and his money would persuade Corsola to defend Horsea’s stance. This would throw the Mudcargo alliance into disarray, and may lead to their removal from the horse council.
What should classify as a horse is if it learns High Horsepower. Kingler for Horse Coinsil.
Omnistar is the true successor to the mediator throne. Corsola is a false prophet
In light of the corsola allegations, the hoeshoe crab Pokémon with the water rock typing could be a much better alternative.
shoutout to mudsdale for sticking with magcargo in these dire times
Mudsdale has the Stamina to stick with Magcargo in these tough times
The grounds and the rocks have a great history together. For Mudsdale to go against Macargo would mean breaking the ancient oath sworn 100s of years ago.
In France they call him "Le noon". It means "the noon". Insane, right?
Man it’s like those French guys have a whole other language
In France, he's called a Linoone with cheese
@@holdinmcgroin8639 old people like me or film lovers can recognize this reference
More like High Noon, the Quick Draw
What's a noon
Missed opportunity to call Linoone "straightforward"
Explain your joke, young man.
@@joaquinlopez5851 Linoone can only run in straight lines, according to some Pokedex entries.
Hey Jim, I just got top 100 on ladder in Gen 3 OU thanks to your videos. Ive been playing pokemon competitively for 13 years and this is the first time ive done anything like this. Thank you so much for the informative and entertaining content ❤
Congrats!
True gaming
this is insane. Congratulations.
Spheal best pokemon
Good for u
I saw that raw return do 25% to metagross and I started sweating
France vs the UK. Truly a battle for the ages. Napoleon is looking down at linoone fondly for granting him his vindication.
Old Money is so insane for backing Horsea in the conflict. Thankfully I am subscribed to the Jimothy Cool channel and can hopefully assist in de-escalating the situation.
I don't know about older gens, but when you see a Linoone in team preview, you know you're dealing with Nonsense
No team preview in gen 3
my day gets better when I see Jimothy has uploaded
Horsea is a horse by neighme only.
The horse council lore keeps intensifying ☠️☠️
Lol, I really look forward for this section in each video
@@avieleliyahu6199 old money was truly one of the reveals
I can’t wait for the future paradox form of slugma, iron slugulous, to come back in time and stop the destruction caused by this horse council civil war
And the Linoone + Gardevoir combo would continue to develop synergy in later generations, with Linoone learning Simple Beam and Gardevoir learning Stored Power, allowing Linoone to support Gardevoir to setup with Traced Simple, Calm Mind, Stored Power sweeps.
arceus truly gives his hardest combos to his weakest route 1 mons
Linoone is a very unremarkable looking Pokemon.
The final evolution of an early game normal type is not something you would expect to have legitimate competitive use
The final evolution of an early game normal type is not something you'd expect to have legitimate competitive use
The final evolution of an early game Normal type is not something you would expect to have legitimate competitive use.
And with its below-average stats, even by gen 3's standards, and the ability "Pickup", which has no competitive function at all, Linoone's competitive potential wouldn't seem promising at a glance.
You're a very unremarkable looking Pokémon.
Congratulations on Linoone's French citizenship. I know he worked hard for this, and now can finally start a new life in Paris with all the other rats
Profile pic checks out
Hmm what a long man. I sure hope he cant maximize his attack stat using belly drum, and use a +2 priority stab move to sweep me with
Shit he's french
It's only +1 priority in gen 3. Still strong, considering most priority attacks only got added later
Zebstrika may be planning to aid the MudCargo Alliance in quashing the Horsea Rebellion, hoping to gain notoriety in the horse council in the aftermath of this war.
With Zebstrika’s Electric STAB, defeating Horsea may become far easier. Though with a lack of good physical Electric moves, victory may still remain far off.
Linoone has become a Citizen of France, folks.
Hopefully Prime Minister as well after the elections coming soon. I'd trust him
And it allll comes back to Old Money, I remain invested in this lore you’re weaving Jimothy
my favorite part of this video is when Jimothy pronounced "Gardevoir" as "God of War"
I see what Jim is doing, he’s showcasing the new horse, Linoone, to fight against Horsea’s faction of the horse council. Thank you Mr. Cool for shedding light on the fact that Linoone is actually a horse.
Le Neune is exactly the kind of pokemon that the french would rely on.
Linoone should use it's access to extreme speed to pressure the horse council into coming to an agreement
Due to its great speed on straight paths and difficulty in changing direction without coming to a stop, some trainers are alleging that Linoone is actually a car disguised as a funny rodent friend. This is insane.
Linoone is my favorite early route normal type and I've been saying it's slept on for YEARS.
An all-new French Pokémon, folks.
this man is the GOAT of pokerogue too, glad he’s getting the respect this fun line deserves
I am pretty new to gen 3 OU, but god damn did I adore using Linoone to sweep a team thanks to my opponent using Rest Zapdos
You have such a great voice and are so well spoken, love listening to your videos while getting work done, great content!
Don't forget Smeargle also gets Belly Drum and STAB on Extremespeed! It was really funny when you caught a Dugtrio with that a while back.
Im gonna say it. Linoone is part horse and deserves a spot on the horse council. With 5 members, they cant finally get some votes passed and end this debauchery.
Loving the amount of FFVI music in this one. One of my favorite games of all time.
The music change on the metagross exploding was sick
Watermess is possibly a reference to a very funny set of books about a very dirty dog.
what a surprising turn of events. Thanks for the coverage of this historical moment Jim, we can always count on you to deliver the tales that shaped our world
I come here for the horse council lore
Linoone is such a fun gimmick and the fact that it does fairly respectable numbers in the tier it finds itself in is impressive, now if only the Obstagoon could have gotten in on the absurd speed
Linoone has exactly one single set and its lovely
I've been playing with zigzagoon/ Linoone in Pokémon rogue! It's so useful to have an inexpensive pickup Mon that can stay useful even to the upper floors. Vive le linoone :)
Old Money has returned! I wonder how Iron Mugulis will react to the news.
Not even 24 hours after this vid dropped, ive run in to 5 linoone teams 💀
I am disappoineted to see that Mr. Cool has forgotten about the funny dog pokemon Smeargle, who also has access to STAB extreme speed (and was featured prominently on the iconic 3 silly dogs team)
I'm voting Linoone for the snap elections in France
I need a Jim Cool Lore Iceberg at some point man things started so simple
Iron Mugulis bad
Now we’re dealing with civil wars, secret alliances and corrupt corporate work
I remember the first time I ran into this team on the ladder. I didn't know what was happening but I clicked substitute on my Celebi right as Gardevoir Mementoed and my opponent was like "welp". It would have caught me off guard TBH.
Linnone may not be the best but it is better that the 2 minute unskipable hero wars ads i had to go through to watch this video
Google youtube revanced
Linoone+Gardevoir surprisingly a good combo for multiple gens
We still need to call out the imposter that is Horsea for being a fish....
The horse council story is so political, I love it
Old Money returns in the Horse Council arc?! What a time to be alive.
Love the Gardevoir + Linoone B-plot as well.
France officially supports Magcargo's side, lending Linoone artillery to its cause.
imagine linoone got a fighting move or even a ground move
It needs the help of the horse council in order to get its horse power high enough to really pop off.
It does get stomping tantrum in later generations, but that's more relevant in random battles
@@supertanou89 i think macargo will help linoone
old money could buy it brick break
@@vivderbinkie56 That would be an interesting development.
@@supertanou89linoone learns high horsepower as an egg move in pokerogue, does this mean this game is forshadowing for mudcargo alliance's unexpected ally ?
Ariados will bring stability to an unstable horse council.
Linoone is indeed a french pokemon, being the mayor of Liyon, renowned city to the northwest of the French Alps.
We CANNOT allow Horsea to recieve the funding nescesary to purchase a Surf disc. Given this attack, Horsea could threaten all other members of the horse council with super effective damage at once...
I *KNEW* one of the Paradox Pokemon were behind this! For some reason I was suspecting the involvement of Iron Fellow.
So I think I like these gimmick teams the most. Using stuff nobody expects and taking advantage of their unique properties is always fun. Belly Drum and STAB Extreme Speed sounds like a cool combo, but I can absolutely see why it needs so much setup. I'm sure its very satisfying to pull off when you successfully manage to use it though.
the maplestory music... what a great choice :)
I'm just here for the horse council lore
Teclis is like the most French reference possible to an aggressively American piece of media.
Lax being used to set up Linoone is not something i ever thought i would hear.
I told y’all in the comments a while ago Old Money was funding that Horse!
loving the final fantasy 6 music, i see you
I’m here for the Horse Council drama ✅✅✅
This is the sixth day I have requested the Blaziken runback.
Because of this, Linoone was allowed to invade England, leading to the evolution of Galarian Linoone
Big fan of gardevwah representing the waluigi-paradox community
li no one was expecting that one
This conflict is mere horseplay.
Linoone is the best Pokemon pickup line.
It's not surprising since belly drum+extreme speed linoone is a very strong threat and it's the best pokemon to sweep hoen
I love Linoone, even without a real ability in gen 3 it still has a niche.
I’m hoping there is gonna be a mention of how Linoone can solo the Hoenn elite 4
I have heard about Extreme Speed Linoone from False Swipe Gaming. Turns out, Linoone continues to use an Extreme Speed and Belly Drum combo in a lot of later gens.
I was actually thinking about Linoone in ADV recently, and how much it suffers from 4 moveslot syndrome. If it could fit Endure and Flail alongside its normal Espeed and Belly Drum and coverage to hit ghosts, it could be devastating. A +6, 1HP Flail at can one shot max HP Metagross and Foretress sets, even without spikes. Now THAT would be insane.
Horse Council: Cheval War
Can’t be the only one hearing him pronounce Gardevoir as “God of Wah”
The plot lines converge
God of war truly is a powerful psychic type that partners well with Linoone
Truly remarkable
The menace of randbats
Not Old Money having Protosynthesis 💀💀💀
Man, I clicked on the video but I could care less about Linoone, I really just wanted to keep up to date with the war in the horse council. (jk, linoone is one of my favorite mons, but I love your sense of humour!)
I had always pronounced it as Lino-One, like Lino-Wun.
Vive Linéon ! Vive la France !
Il a pas tort
I didn't expect Horsea to accept Old Money's bribes, truly disappointing and shame worthy.
This reminds me of the time when Sama choked on deeks.
Does Old Money have Slaking's stats lmao
Yes, yes it does
Every line has it noon
Napoleon must be so proud
This is insane.
Linoone is a very unremarkable looking Pokemon
You have convinced me, Jimothy. Gen 3 OU is the best.
Man, I remember when getting extreme speed legitimately on Linoone was the most annoying thing ever
I watch Jimothy Cool for the lore
