Pokédex entries

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.
FireRed LeafGreen	Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check NOSEPASS to get their bearings.
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.
Diamond Pearl	Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.
Platinum	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.
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.
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.
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.
