| | Pokemon Ruby Pokemon of the Day: Nosepass - IGN FAQs |
 | | Nosepass is not a Pokemon I would have just arbitrarily chosen to review at this point in time; I'm uncomfortable with the fact that I've precious little experience with the beast (I've sworn off Rock types until Aerodactyl makes his way to RuSa, dagnabbit). |
 | | Nosepass' Attack is every bit as pathetic as his Special Attack, though his Rock type's power bonus to Rock Slide does make it just a bit more powerful than his Thunderbolt (too bad Rock Slide starts off at a modest 75 base power, meaning even with STAB it won't be all that impressive). |
 | | Nosepass' Attack blows, but hey, people use Explosion on Electrode all the time and his Attack is a measly ten points higher...and at a cumulative 500 base power you won't find many Pokemon who can stand up to an Explosion no matter HOW crappy the Attack stat it's coming from happens to be. |
