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 or Electric Rock Cave.
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 and Registeel both have the highest base Special Defense stat of all Steel-type Pokémon.
- As Mt. Coronet is not accessible in HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, it is impossible to evolve Nosepass into a Probopass in the games. The same applies for Magnezone. Both have to be traded from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions to be obtained.
- This also occurs for Glaceon and Leafeon, who both evolve in Route 217 and Eterna Forest respectively, which are both Sinnoh locations HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions.
- Probopass learns a new move every six levels (1 [start], 7, 13 ,19, ...).
Origin
Probopass is based on the pukau-wearing moai statues of Easter Island and a compass magnet with iron filings attached to it. Probopass's design may draw inspiration from the popular American toy Mr. Potato Head.
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."
In other languages
- German: Voluminas - From voluminös (voluminous) and Nase (nose).
- French: Tarinorme - From tarin (nose) and énorme (huge).
- Korean: 대코파스 Daekopass
- Chinese (Taiwan): 大朝北鼻 Dà Cháo Běi Bí - Literally "Big north-facing nose". Contains 朝北鼻, the Chinese name for Nosepass.
