If you’re looking to add a Nosepass to your party, then you can locate on just southwest of Paradise Barrens, as we outlined on the map above. This is where we were able to locate this Pokemon however, you are able to find it in most of the areas to the northwest of the Kitakami map. In our experience, we were able to find it amongst Pokemon like Sandslash and Noctowl. Once you finally have a Nosepass for yourself, it will register in your Kitakami Dex as number 107, just before Porobopass and after Ludicolo. Once the time comes that you want to evolve it into Probopass, then that’s when things become a little complicated.
