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. Because it always points north, Nosepass has historically been used as a compass for travelers. 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}}. {{p|Metang}} are natural predators of Nosepass. | Nosepass cannot go near others, since it would repel them with its magnetic nose.

Nosepass [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Probopass}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Nosepass cannot evolve into Probopass in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Nosepass is also able to evolve into Probopass when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. | |||

** This behavior first appeared in {{g|GO}}, in which its model will always face north when displayed on the overworld map. 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. | ** This behavior first appeared in {{g|GO}}, in which its model will always face north when displayed on the overworld map.
