Zigzagoon, the Tiny Raccoon Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon known for its distinctive zigzagging movements. Introduced in Generation III with the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it quickly became a recognizable early-game encounter in the Hoenn region. This small, bushy-tailed Pokémon is often found in grasslands and forests, constantly searching for items by bumping into things. Its diet primarily consists of berries and other small edibles it uncovers during its forays. Zigzagoon is known for its curious and somewhat mischievous nature, often seen rummaging through garbage cans or abandoned areas in search of treasures. It evolves into Linoone starting at level 20, a more agile and powerful Pokémon, and later into Obstagoon in the Galar region, though this specific form is unique to Generation VIII. In the games, Zigzagoon is often valued for its ability to learn "Pickup," which allows it to find random items after battles, making it a popular choice for item farming. Its role in the anime often portrays it as a playful and sometimes troublesome character, embodying its curious Pokédex entry. Culturally, Zigzagoon represents the spirit of exploration and resourcefulness, a common sight that reminds trainers of the simple joys of discovery.
