There are different ways to evolve Nosepass in past Pokemon games, but inPokemon ScarletandViolet, Nosepass can only evolve into Probopass via aThunder Stone.This evolutionary item can be purchased from theDelibirds Presents store at Mesagozafor 3000 Pokedollars. The shop also sells other stones, such as the Leaf Stone, Water Stone, and Fire Stone.
Probopass may not be anElectric-type Pokemon, but it can still learn some powerful Electric-type attacks. For example, it learns Discharge at level 31 and Zap Cannon at level 43. Of course, Rock-type attacks will also make up most of the learned moves.
