Nosepass (Japanese: ノズパス Nosepass) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Probopass when leveled up in a special magnetic field or when exposed to a Thunder Stone (Pokémon Legends: Arceus).

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, though it can pull natural enemies close too. Because it always points north, Nosepass has historically been used as a compass for travelers. Nosepass only moves a little over 3/8 of an inch each year, but can quickly spin its body into the ground like a drill during emergency situations. It lives in caves. Metang are natural predators of Nosepass.

In Aipom and Circumstance, Hank used a Nosepass to track down Ash's missing Aipom. It then participated in the fight against Team Rocket.

In Nosing 'Round the Mountain!, Alan used a Nosepass in Alan's requested battle against Ash at Mt. Coronet. Nosepass then evolved into a Probopass.

In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, four Nosepass were used by Damos, who was under Hypnosis, to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Nosepass again to attack Arceus.

Main article: Roxanne's Nosepass

Similar to the anime, Roxanne used a Nosepass during her Gym battle against Ash.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Roxanne's Nosepass

In Pokémon Adventures, Roxanne's main Pokémon is a Nosepass. It first appeared in Blowing Past Nosepass I. During her battle against Sapphire, she used Nosepass's Magnet Pull so that her Aron cannot be switched. She saves its Poké Ball inside a hollowed-out book. Later when fighting against Team Magma in Lilycove City, Nosepass uses its Block attack to stop Groudon from moving. Unfortunately, Roxanne allows Team Magma to knock Nosepass out to protect some civilians.

In Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone, Cyrus attacks Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum with a Nosepass and Magneton at Mt. Coronet. Due to Mt. Coronet's magnetic field, the Pokémon quickly evolve into Probopass and Magnezone, respectively.

Ruby Nosepass's magnetic nose is always pointed to the north. If two of these Pokémon meet, they cannot turn their faces to each other when they are close because their magnetic noses repel one another.

Emerald Its body emits a powerful magnetism. It feeds on prey that is pulled in by the force. Its magnetism is stronger in cold seasons.

Ultra Sun It moves less than an inch a year, but when it's in a jam, it will spin and drill down into the ground in a split second.
Ultra Moon It hunts without twitching a muscle by pulling in its prey with powerful magnetism. But sometimes it pulls natural enemies in close.

Trivia

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Nosepass is based on the Moai statues of Easter Island, as well as a compass.

Its nasal compass may be based on the expression "follow one's nose", meaning "to trust to one's instincts". Alternatively, it may be a pun on the English words "nose" (Japanese: ノーズ nōzu) and "north" (Japanese: ノース nōsu). It could also be based on the ethmoid bone that is located between the nasal cavity and the brain, and is known to give some species their sense of direction via magnetoreception.

Name origin

Nosepass may be a combination of nose or a corruption of north and compass. NOSE is also a mnemonic for the cardinal directions in French (nord, ouest, sud, est).
