Nosepass Pokédex Entries

Ruby: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.

FireRed, LeafGreen:Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check NOSEPASS to get their bearings.
Emerald:Its body emits a powerful magnetism. It feeds on prey that is pulled in by the force. Its magnetism is stronger in cold seasons.
Diamond, Pearl:Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.

Sun:The magnet in Nosepass’s nose provides an unerring compass, making it an excellent partner for Trainers going on a journey.
Moon:It uses powerful magnetism to drag its prey toward it. It’s also been known to pull in metal, which it collects and uses to protect itself.
Ultra Sun:It moves less than an inch a year, but when it’s in a jam, it will spin and drill down into the ground in a split second.
Ultra Moon:It hunts without twitching a muscle by pulling in its prey with powerful magnetism. But sometimes it pulls natural enemies in close.
Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl:Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.
Legends: Arceus:Once the people of Hisui discovered that its red nose always points north, they grew to rely on it greatly when traveling afar. The nose seems to work in a similar way to ancient compasses.
