Pokedex descriptions

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.
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.
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 LeafGreen	Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check NOSEPASS to get their bearings.
Diamond Pearl	Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.
Platinum Black White	When endangered, it may protect itself by raising its magnetism and drawing iron objects to its body.
HeartGold SoulSilver	If two of these meet, they cannot get too close because their noses repel each other.
