What direction does Nosepass face when entering a battle?

Question

The Pokédex entries for Nosepass state that it always points north. In a game like Scarlet/Violet, where you battle a wild Pokémon or trainer right on the spot, unlike Sword/Shield, where there is a set background for battles depending on the area. So, in games like SV, which direction does Nosepass face?

PokemonDB has peaked. There will be no more questions.

Answer 1

While in the overworld, wild Nosepass consistently point north, as described in their dex entries.

However, Nosepass in battle will always point towards the opponent, in whatever direction they may be.
