Probopass (Japanese: ダイノーズ Dainose) is a dual-type Rock/Steel Pokémon.
It evolves from Nosepass via level-up while in Mt. Coronet.
Biology
Physiology
Probopass has small round eyes, contrasting Nosepass's perpetually closed ones. Its nose is much bigger in proportion to its body, and it has a bushy mustache that appears to consist of iron filings caught by its magnetic nose. It has three small objects on its sides and back that look like Nosepass; they are called "Mini-Noses" by the Pokédex. These "Mini-Noses" can detach to form new Nosepass. It also has a big hat-like magnet on top of its head.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It has fairly strong magnetic abilities, especially around its large nose. It also possesses the ability to control smaller units called "Mini-Noses".
Behavior
Probopass tend to sit still on rocky islands for long periods of time. They are not aggressive and are content to relax.
Habitat
Probopass live inside Mt. Coronet and on rocky islands, but rarely appear.

Trivia
- Probopass is the last Rock-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order as of Generation IV. It is also the last non-legendary Steel-type Pokémon in the National Dex order.
- Prior to the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver, Probopass was the only Pokémon besides Smeargle to be able to legally learn both Gravity and Magnet Rise, which have opposing effects.
- It can also learn the elemental punches despite not appearing to have any arms, although it could use its Mini-noses.
- Due to Mt. Coronet not being in HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is literally impossible to evolve Nosepass in the games.
Origin
Probopass is based off of the pukau-wearing moai statues of Easter Island (with a moustache added).
Name origin
Probopass is a combination of proboscis and compass. Dainose's name is a combination of 大 dai, big, and nose – thus literally meaning "big nose."
