Nosepass (Japanese: ノズパス Nosepass) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Probopass when leveled up in Mt. Coronet.
Biology
Physiology
Nosepass are Pokémon composed of hard, angular, bluish-colored rock. They closely resemble Easter Island Heads, as their main body is in the shape of one. Their most prominent feature are their bright red, triangular noses, which are highly magnetic. They also have arms and legs, but don't appear to have any joints and have small, circular holes on the undersides. Nosepass has similar circular holes on where one might expect its ears to be, and its eyes, covered by dark, somewhat mask-like markings, seem perpetually closed in appearance.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Their noses can function as electromagnets that point north. They cannot face each other since they all have the same polarity. Nosepass’s magnetism is stronger in cold seasons.
Behavior
It usually stands in one spot with its nose pointing north. It's said to be unmoving, but it actually can shift slightly. When endangered, Nosepass may protect itself by raising its magnetism and drawing iron objects to its body.
Habitat
Nosepass can be found in caves.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
This Pokémon apparently feeds on prey that are attracted by its magnetism. This may attract Magnemite (due to their documented liking for electronics and magnetic sources) that may not be edible.

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.

Sapphire

Nosepass had been said to be completely unmoving, with its magnetic nose pointed due north. However, close observation has revealed that the Pokémon actually moves by a little over 3/8 of an inch every year.

Trivia
- Nosepass is the only pure Template:Type2 whose evolution is dual-type, as Probopass is Rock/Steel.
- Nosepass's body was gray and its edges rounded during the Generation III games, but was changed to blue and more angular in Generation IV, to match its Sugimori artwork.
- With the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Nosepass was the only Pokémon that needed an HM other than HM04 (Surf) to be found in the wild. In later games, Shuckle and Dunsparce can only be found using similar methods.
- Nosepass is one of the three Pokémon to evolve at a certain area; the other two are Eevee and Magneton.
- Nosepass is the only Pokémon which undergoes evolution in a specific area that is catchable in that same area.
- Nosepass is the only Pokémon with Magnet Pull that is not itself a Steel-type, thus not affected by it.
- Its evolution Probopass is, however.
- Nosepass is the only non-Generation I Pokémon with a total EV yield of 1 to evolve into a Pokémon with a total EV yield of 3. The only other Pokémon to do so are Paras (into Parasect) and Slowpoke (who can evolve into Slowking, as well as Slowbro (who has an EV yield of 2)).
- Nosepass and its evolution Probopass are the only Template:Type2 Pokémon that learn Discharge by level up.
Origin
It is probably based on the Moai statues of Easter Island.
Name origin
Nosepass's name may be a combination of nose and compass.
