📖 Pokedex Entries
Ruby
"NOSEPASS’s magnetic nose is always pointed to the north. If two of these POKEMON meet, they cannot turn their faces to each other when they are close because their magnetic noses repel one another."
Sapphire
"NOSEPASS had been said to be completely unmoving, with its magnetic nose pointed due north. However, close observation has revealed that the POKEMON actually moves by a little over 3/8 of an inch every year."
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."
Firered
"Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check NOSEPASS to get their bearings."
Diamond
"Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokemon always keeps its face pointing north."
Platinum

Heartgold
"If two of these meet, they cannot get too close because their noses repel each other."

Sun
"The magnet in Nosepass’s nose provides an unerring compass, making it an excellent partner for Trainers going on a journey."
Moon

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."
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."
