Nosepass (Japanese: ノズパス Nosepass) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III of the Pokémon series. Known for its distinctive appearance and magnetic properties, Nosepass evolves into Probopass when leveled up in a special magnetic field or when exposed to a Thunder Stone, depending on the game version. This Pokémon is notable for its strong magnetism, which plays a significant role in its behavior and abilities.

Nosepass is inspired by the Moai statues of Easter Island, a connection clearly reflected in its angular, stone-like appearance. This Pokémon's bright red, triangular nose acts as a built-in compass, always pointing north. Historically, this feature made Nosepass a useful guide for travelers. However, its strong magnetism can also be a disadvantage, as it repels other Pokémon and can inadvertently pull natural enemies close.
In the Pokémon world, Nosepass primarily inhabits caves, where its magnetic abilities are both a boon and a bane. It uses its magnetism to protect itself by drawing iron objects to its body, a technique it also employs to capture prey. However, this ability is not without risks, as it can attract predators like Metang. Nosepass's slow movement, averaging just 3/8 of an inch per year, contrasts with its ability to rapidly drill into the ground in emergencies.
Nosepass possesses several unique characteristics and abilities. Its magnetism is stronger in colder seasons, and it has the ability Magnet Pull, which isn't common among non-Electric or non-Steel-type Pokémon. Additionally, it can learn Steel Beam, a move typically reserved for Steel-type Pokémon. Despite its Rock-type classification, Nosepass's evolution into Probopass introduces the Steel typing, further enhancing its defensive capabilities. This Pokémon is also known for its unique evolutionary mechanism, which involves special magnetic fields or a Thunder Stone, setting it apart from other Pokémon in the series.
