Linoone

Nope, don't even consider it for PvE.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Tackle has the best Fast Move performance, though Sand Attack is Linoone's only Fast Move that has a matching Charged Move.
• Shadow Claw is a great move, but it has little synergy with Linoone's Charged Moves to speak of.
• Grass Knot is the strongest Charged Move option, followed by Thunder and Dig.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Generally best to go with Shadow Claw, though Quick Attack is decent after STAB.
• Sand Attack falls behind on defense.
• Grass Knot and Dig are both okay in their own rights.
• Thunder is hard to dodge, but Linoone will probably drop before then.

Despite lacking STAB, Shadow Claw easily outperforms Tackle. Grass Knot is a solid Grass-type move and costs the least amount of energy among Linoone's charge moves. Thunder doesn't get as much use, but is still valued for its coverage against Flying-type opponents. The wide coverage from Dig is really good, but not at the ridiculous cost of 80 energy.
