How to evolve Nosepass into Probopass in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC brought back Nosepass, but it takes a particular method to evolve it into Probopass. Here’s all the help you need in order to register both Pokemon in your Pokedex.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC brought back a ton of returning Pokemon from past Generations like Kantonian Vulpix, Clefairy, and Phantump.

Plenty of Pokemon from Gen 3 make an appearance in the land of Kitakami as well, with past favorites like Milotic and Shiftry roaming the wilds.

Another Gen 3 monster that came back is Nosepass along with its Gen 4 evolution Probopass. But some trainers may be wondering how to evolve Nosepass without Mt. Coronet. Well, here’s how trainers can get their hands on Probopass in Scarlet & Violet’s DLC.

How to evolve Nosepass into Probopass

Starting in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, trainers could use a Thunder Stone to evolve Nosepass, which has carried over into Scarlet & Violet.

Fans of the Gen 4 games Diamond & Pearl or their remakes may remember that trainers had to level up Nosepass in certain areas, like Mt. Coronet and Chargestone Cave. This is not necessary in Gen 9.

Where to find Nosepass in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

According to the Pokedex, Nosepass is mainly found in barren, rocky areas around Kitakami. Specifically, trainers can find wild Nosepass at the top of Wistful Fields and in Paradise Barrens.
