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.

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.
Brilliant Diamond
Shining Pearl

Legends: Arceus Once the people of Hisui discovered that its red nose always points north, they grew to rely on it greatly when traveling afar. The nose seems to work in a similar way to ancient compasses.
