Roxanne's Nosepass (Japanese: ツツジのノズパス Tsutsuji's Nosepass) is Roxanne's signature Pokémon in the manga, anime and games.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Nosepass first appeared in Blowing Past Nosepass I, when Roxanne sent it out during her Gym battle against Sapphire's Rono. Despite the type-disadvantage, it managed to overwhelm Rono when Magnet Pull prevented him from switching out and moving. From that point on, Nosepass used a combination of Rock Throw and Rock Slide to defeat Rono. However, Sapphire figured out Nosepass's weakness as it would usually face north and stay that direction. With Nosepass facing the other way, Rono was able to escape the rubble and defeat Nosepass.
In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon VIII, Roxanne sent out Nosepass during her battle with Team Magma. It prevented Groudon from escaping by using Block, which gave the other Gym Leaders a chance to attack Groudon with their Pokémon. When nearby civilians were in danger of being killed, Courtney forced Roxanne to surrender in which Ninetales went on to defeat Nosepass and Groudon was freed from Nosepass's Block.
Personality and characteristics
Roxanne usually kept Nosepass's Poké Ball in a hollowed-out book. During battle, it knew some techniques that prevent the opponent from escaping. However, only a few such as Sapphire and Courtney knew their way around it.

In the anime
In the main series
Nosepass appeared in The Winner by a Nosepass, where Roxanne used it in a Gym battle against Ash. As Pikachu became worn out after battling her Geodude and had trouble with his Iron Tail technique, Nosepass was able to get the upper hand. However, Nosepass struggled to keep up with Pikachu's speed after he used Quick Attack to dodge. Later, it unknowingly blasted off Team Rocket after using Thunder Wave and made a hole in the battlefield. Even though Pikachu started to get tired even more, a Zap Cannon coming from Nosepass recharged him and Nosepass was defeated by Pikachu's Iron Tail, which earned Ash the Stone Badge.
It reappeared in flashbacks in Sharpedo Attack!, Whiscash and Ash, and the Japanese version of A Scare to Remember!, when Ash was recalling the time he won his first Badge in Hoenn.
