Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Sp. Def carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Compass Pokemon still yields 3 Defense and Sp. Def EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It is able to emit powerful magnetism, allowing it control over the iron sand that forms its luscious mustache. Using this iron sand, Probopass forms hard stones with which it smites its prey.

Probopass Guide
In Legends: Arceus, Probopass works as a support with 525 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Legends: Arceus's meta. Stealth Rock with Custapberry is the standard set.
In Legends: Arceus, Probopass's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), Golem (Ground), and Gyarados (Water), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Machamp is the most dangerous since Fighting moves deal 4x damage. At base 40 Speed, Probopass won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Sturdy is the go-to ability for Probopass. It prevents being KOed from full HP, leaving 1 HP instead. Its hidden ability Sand Force can work in specific setups. Magnet Pull is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Probopass is a physical attacker with base 55 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the support role.
In Legends: Arceus, the best way to handle Probopass: Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fighting, Ground, and Water-type attackers hit hardest.
