Nosepass (Japanese: ノズパス Nosepass) is a Rock-type Pokémon. It evolves into Probopass when leveled up in either Mt. Coronet, Chargestone Cave, Kalos Route 13, or New Mauville.

Biology[]

Nosepass is a blue, angular, hard bipedal Pokémon that closely resembles the Easter Island Heads. Its bright red, triangular nose is highly magnetic and slightly resembles a 3D arrow. This nose functions as an electromagnet and always points north. It has arms and legs without any visible joints and small, circular holes on the undersides. Its arms resemble compass needles. It has similar circular holes on the sides of its head. Its eyes, covered by dark, somewhat mask-like markings, have the appearance of being closed

Nosepass cannot go near others, since it would repel them with its magnetic nose. Its magnetism is stronger in cold seasons. To protect itself when in danger, it raises its magnetism and draws iron objects to its body. This technique is also used to capture prey. Nosepass only moves a little over 3/8 of an inch each year. It lives in caves.

Trivia[]

  • Nosepass is the only Pokémon which undergoes evolution in a specific area that can be caught in that area.
  • Nosepass is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 375.
  • In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Nosepass is programmed to be able to learn Head Smash through breeding, but no other Pokémon in the Mineral Group can legitimately learn it to pass down as an Egg move in those games. In Generation VI, Aegislash would have been able to pass down the move.
  • Due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, an English language Nosepass cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in Pokémon Black and White.
