I just got my R/S booster box, and after sorting it out, I can safely say the new Linoone card is absolutely stunning.
Firstly, it has 70 HP. Whilst that's not amazing in itself, if you can get it out early you should be able to take a few hits whilst you use it's first attack...
Seek Out. For a single energy card (any type, remember it's colorless!) you can search your deck for ANY two cards, put them into your hand, then shuffle your deck! An absolutely brilliant move - use it to get your best Pokémon into play within minutes!
The real stinger is it's next attack - Continuous Headbutt. For a mere two energy cards, you flip a coin until you get tails. The attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. 40! Until you get tails! Whilst the element of chance is there, this thing can easily take out any strong Pokémon in a single turn with three consecutive "heads" flips.
Naturally, you will have unlucky days where all your flips are tails, and all the cards you want are in the prize pile where you can't get to them with Linoone, but on the whole I've found it a very useful Pokémon. Definitely not to be underestimated.
