Nosepass (Japanese: ノズパス, Hepburn: Nozupasu) (NOSE-pass) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Nosepass is a land-dwelling Pokémon. It has a dark-blue, egg-shaped body with a hole in it revealing two closed eyes. On the sides on its body, it has two holes which it also has on its hands and feet. It has a triangular, red nose that it uses as a compass.

Behavior

Their magnetic noses make it so they are always facing north. In rocky areas, they are often seen standing still, only moving about 3/8 of an inch every year. If it gets stuck while turning and moving, it will spin and drill down underground. They can be seen as carnivorous due to their tendencies to pull prey forwards with magnetism, but sometimes, they occasionally pull forward pieces of metal and steel. Two Nosepass cannot approach each other headfirst, because their noses will repel each other away. Curiously, the strength of their magnetism seems to correlate with temperature, weakening in warm weather but strengthening on cooler days.

Evolution

Nosepass evolves into Probopass when it levels up in Mt. Coronet,Chargestone Cave, Route 12 (Kalos) or Vast Poni Canyon.

Anime

Recurring

• Rising Volt Tacklers' Nosepass

Minor

• Roxanne's Nosepass
• Hank's Nosepass
• Alan's Nosepass
• Holly's Nosepass

Trivia

• Nosepass is the currently the only non-Steel-type Pokémon that has the ability Magnet Pull. It is also the only single-type Pokémon with this ability.
• Nosepass is one of the few Pokémon that can evolve while in a certain place (magnetic zone). The others are Magneton, Eevee (Up to Generation VIII), Charjabug and Crabrawler.

Origin

Nosepass is based on a Moai, a humanoid statue from Easter Island with a large head. It also has elements of a compass and a sleepwalker and may possibly be based on the expression "follow your nose" and/or the ethmoid bone, located between the nasal cavity and the brain, which gives birds a magnetic sense that helps them navigate.

Etymology

Nosepass and Nozupasu come from "nose" and "compass."
