'''Probopass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイノーズ''' ''Dainose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Steel}} Pokémon.  

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nosepass}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Kalos Route 13]], or [[New Mauville]].

Probopass is a mostly blue, rock Pokémon. It has small round eyes, a red nose that is large in proportion to its body, and a bushy black mustache that appears to consist of iron filings. These iron filings appear to be attracted by its magnetic nose. It has three small objects on its sides and back, called mini-noses, which it is able to control. With these mini-noses, it is able to to attack opponents from all three directions.  It has a big red hat-like magnet on top of its head, and has strong magnetism from all over its body.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Diamond}} was separated from {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} in [[Mt. Coronet]] because [[Cyrus]] deemed their presence as a nuisance and attempted to bury them alive in a {{m|Rock Slide|rockslide}} with his Probopass and {{p|Magnezone}}.

The same Diamond and Pearl would later fight to keep the criminal mastermind from taking his camera back to his headquarters, during which Cyrus used his Probopass' {{m|Magnet Bomb}} to injure the former.

* Probopass is tied with {{p|Registeel}} and Shield Forme {{p|Aegislash}} for the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} base stat of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

* As there is no strongly electromagnetic location in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is impossible to evolve Nosepass into a Probopass in these games. The same applies for {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}. All have to be traded from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to be obtained.

* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Probopass cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

* Probopass is the heaviest {{Type|Rock}} Pokémon.

{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Nosepass and Probopass}}

Probopass is based on the {{wp|pukau}}-wearing {{wp|moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}} and a compass magnet with iron filings attached to it. It could also be an homage to [[Nintendo]]'s mascot {{smw|Mario}}. All of Probopass's noses are like the needles in a compass, with the big nose pointing North (as in some compasses where the North needle is the biggest), and the mini-noses pointing to the East, South, and West, respectively.

Probopass is a combination of ''{{wp|proboscis}}'' and ''{{wp|compass}}''.
