Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White

When endangered, it may protect itself by raising its magnetism and drawing iron objects to its body.

Black 2, White 2

Its magnetic nose always faces north and draws iron objects to its body to protect itself better.

Generation 6
X

Its magnetic nose always faces north and draws iron objects to its body to protect itself better.

Y

Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check Nosepass to get their bearings.

Omega 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.

Alpha Sapphire

Nosepass had been said to be completely unmoving, with its magnetic nose pointed due north. However, close observation has revealed that the Pokémon actually moves by a little over 3/8 of an inch every year.

Generation 7
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.
