==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}'s game data, {{p|Nosepass}} can learn Head Smash via {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no Pokémon that can learn it are in Nosepass's [[Egg Group]], {{egg|Mineral}}, making it impossible to pass down the move legitimately. This learnset data was then removed in [[Generation V]].
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}'s game data, {{p|Nosepass}} can learn Head Smash via {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no Pokémon that could learn it at the time were in Nosepass's [[Egg Group]], {{egg|Mineral}}, making it impossible to pass down the move without the use of the [[Rage glitch]]. This learnset data was then removed in [[Generation V]], but brought back in [[Generation IX]] where it can also learn the move by holding a [[Mirror Herb]].
** It is, however, possible to use the Rage glitch to have a Ditto father pass this on to a Nosepass.
