Overview |
Nosepass rarely move; at one time, it was thought that they were entirely immobile, but studies show that they creep about .375 inches (.953 centimeters) a year. Their noses always points north. Because of this, spelunkers find Nosepass immensely useful while traveling in caves. The reason for this peculiar trait is that their noses are in fact magnetic. Two Nosepass cannot approach each other headfirst, because their noses will repel each other away. Thanks to their lack of movement, Nosepass rarely need to eat, but will feed primarily on stone and metal, drawing out iron from rocks. They will also pull Steel-type Pokémon directly towards themselves, where they can then feed at their own leisure--though they may occasionally run into trouble when they accidentally pull in predators. During emergencies, Nosepass can actually spin part of their bodies rapidly to drill below to safety, though they can only move straight down in this manner. By controlling the strength of the magnetic force their noses exert, they can draw iron objects towards their bodies to use as armor against attacks or to trap unwary foes in magnetized iron. Curiously, the strength of their magnetism seems to correlate with temperature, weakening in warm weather but strengthening on cooler days.
