How To Get Nosepass In Pokemon Ruby

Alright, future Pokemon Masters! You want to add the compass-nosed wonder, Nosepass, to your Ruby team? You've come to the right place!

Finding the Magnetic Marvel

Forget trekking through treacherous caves or navigating dense forests. Finding Nosepass in Pokemon Ruby is surprisingly straightforward. Think less Indiana Jones, more… casual stroll on a specific route.

Head to Route 112

Okay, let’s set the scene. Imagine you're on a leisurely hike up a slightly volcanic mountain. That's basically Route 112! Get ready to spot our rocky friend.

You'll find Route 112 connecting Mauville City and Mt. Chimney. That’s right, it's volcano adjacent!

The Nose Knows (Where to Spawn)

Now, don’t just blindly run around. Although, that could work too, eventually. Nosepass likes to hang out in the grassy patches of Route 112.

Think of it like this: the taller the grass, the higher the chance of a Nosepass popping up. It's practically playing hide-and-seek!

Prepare for the Encounter

So, you’re in the tall grass. You’re walking. What do you need? A little patience, and maybe some Pokeballs!.

Don't go in empty-handed. Bring a team that can withstand a Rock-type attack or two, and plenty of Pokeballs, naturally.

Pro-Tip: Having a Pokemon with the ability "Static" at the front of your party might increase the chances of encountering an Electric-type Pokemon. This doesn't directly help with Nosepass, but while searching you can have encounters with Voltorb and Electrode too!

Catching Your Very Own Nosepass

You've finally found one! Now comes the tricky part: convincing it to join your team.

Weakening the Rock

Nosepass isn’t a pushover (pun intended!). Reduce its HP without knocking it out cold. A good status condition like paralysis or sleep can also make the capture process much easier.

Try using moves that aren't super effective! Nosepass is Rock-type, so avoid using Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, or Steel-type moves.

Pokeball Power!

Okay, Nosepass is weakened and maybe even snoozing. Time to hurl those Pokeballs! .

Don’t be discouraged if it breaks free a few times. Even the best trainers face rejection sometimes. Keep at it, and eventually, that Pokeball will click shut!

Celebrate Your Success!

Congratulations! You've successfully added Nosepass to your team! Time to nickname it, train it, and show it off to all your friends.

Remember, every great Pokemon journey starts with that first step – or in this case, that first encounter with a slightly magnetic rock-type. Happy training!

Levelling up Nosepass

Once you catch Nosepass, you'll need to level it up. Be ready for a bit of work here. Start to train your Nosepass as soon as possible and make it stronger and ready for challenges ahead.

The best way is to battle with the Nosepass. Be sure that it has a reasonable chance to win. It will earn EXP points and become more powerful.
