NosepassLegends Awakened #109 Pokémon Card

Nosepass, the Compass Pokémon, is a Rock-type Pokémon first introduced in the Hoenn region in Generation III. Its most distinctive feature is its red, arrow-shaped nose, which functions as a powerful magnet, constantly pointing north. This natural compass ability is crucial to its survival, allowing it to navigate and sense objects, but also making it susceptible to strong magnetic fields that can disrupt its orientation. Nosepass typically inhabits mountainous regions and caves, where it remains motionless, observing its surroundings. It primarily feeds on metallic minerals, which it extracts from rocks using its magnetic abilities. In the wild, Nosepass is known for its territorial nature, using its magnetic powers to ward off intruders. It evolves into Probopass when leveled up in a special magnetic field, gaining additional rock and steel elements. In the games, Nosepass is often encountered early on, serving as a solid defensive Pokémon. In the anime, it has appeared in various episodes, showcasing its unique magnetic powers and its evolution into Probopass. Its design, inspired by Moai statues and compasses, gives it a memorable and somewhat whimsical appearance, contributing to its cultural significance as a recognizable symbol of the Hoenn region.
