Nosepass is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon Go. It is a blue bipedal Pokémon that looks similar to the Easter Island Heads. It has a bright triangular nose that is highly magnetic which looks similar to an arrow. Its skin is rock solid and its nose performs as a working magnet that always points towards the north. It is a decent opponent whom you can defeat with the right counters. So in this Pokémon Go guide, we are going to talk about the best ways and counters that you can use to defeat Nosepass in the best way possible.
Nosepass in Pokémon Go
Nosepass is a pure Rock-type Pokémon with a maximum CP of 1123 at level 50. It is weak in Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type attacks. If you have the perfect counters, you can fight against it all by yourself. If you don’t have the ideal counters, I would recommend you take a friend into the battle along with yourself.
Nosepass Moveset
The best moves from the moveset of Nosepass are Rock Throw and Rock Slide. Both of them have a combined DPS of 51.6 and it is also the best combination of moves that you can use in both Pokémon Gyms and PvP battles. Other good options that I’ve found to be useful from the movepool of Nosepass are Spark, Rock Blast, and Thunderbolt.
