Nosepass is a Rock-type Pokémon, No. 299 in the National Pokédex, introduced in Generation 3 (Hoenn region).
« 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. »
