Nosepass is a blue, angular, hard bipedal Pokémon that closely resembles the {{wp|Easter Island Heads}}. Its bright red, triangular nose is highly magnetic and slightly resembles a 3D arrow. This nose functions as an {{wp|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. 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

{{main|Roxanne's Nosepass}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Roxanne]]'s main Pokémon is a Nosepass. It first appeared in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]''. During her battle against {{adv|Sapphire}} she used Nosepass's {{a|Magnet Pull}} so that her {{p|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 {{m|Block}} attack to stop {{p|Groudon}} from moving. Unfortunately, Roxanne allows Team Magma to knock Nosepass out to protect some civilians.

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.

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. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Trivia

  • 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. It was removed from Nosepass's Egg Move list in Generation V, but in more recent games, some Pokémon in the Mineral Egg Group have become able to pass it down.
  • 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.
  • When displayed on the overworld map in Pokémon GO, a wild Nosepass's model will always face north. Normally, when a player enters then exits an encounter with a wild Pokémon, that Pokémon's model will turn facing the player. However, in Nosepass's case, it will turn back to face north after a few seconds.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

It 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". It also could 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 is a combination of nose and compass.
