Probopass (Japanese: ダイノーズ Dainose) is a Rock/Steel-type Pokémon. It is the evolved form of Nosepass

Biology

Physiology

Probopass has small round eyes, in contrast to Nosepass's perpetually closed ones. Its nose is much bigger in proportion to its body and has a bushy "moustache." The "moustache" appears to be iron filings caught by a magnet. It has three small objects on its sides and back that look like Nosepass; they are also called "Mini-Noses" by the Pokédex entry. These "Mini-Noses" can be detached and form a new Nosepass. It also has a big hat-like magnet on top of its head.

Gender differences

None.

Trivia

  • Some have cited Probopass's shiny form to have a resemblance to Mario, another Nintendo character, probably due to the moustache under its compass nose, and the red 'hat' upon its head.

Origin

Probopass is based off of the Pukau wearing Moai statues of Easter Island (with a mustache added). It also resembles a Mr. Potato Head.

Name origin

Probopass is a combination of proboscis and compass. Dainose's name is a combination of 大 dai, big, and nose – thus literally meaning "big nose." Its German name, Voluminas, comes from voluminös and Nase. Its French name, Tarinorme, comes from tarin and énorme.
