History

Harley and Cacturne

Hoenn

Cacturne made its debut appearance in A Cacturne for the Worse, where it was used in the Purika City Pokémon Contest. In the Appeals Round, it used its Bullet Seed attack to draw frightening skull and crossbones on the stage. Its performance left the three judges very impressed and easily granted Harley a place in the second stage. In the Battle Round, it was seen defeating an Azurill to reach the Contest finals. There, it went up against May's Bulbasaur. It battled well but ended up being knocked out by a powerful and beautiful combination of Razor Leaf and Petal Dance.

After the Purika Contest, Cacturne was used in the Hoenn Grand Festival. In Hi Ho Silver Wind!, it was called out to perform in the preliminary appeals stage. Using Bullet Seed, it scored 84 points for Harley, allowing him to advance to the main competition. In Rhapsody in Drew, it battled alongside Banette against May's Bulbasaur and Beautifly. Despite the good start, Cacturne and Banette soon found themselves struggling to handle their opponents' impressive combinations and were eventually defeated, thus eliminating Harley from the tournament.

Kanto

At the Grand Festival with Banette

Cacturne was Harley's choice for the Appeals Round of the Saffron City Pokémon Contest in A Hurdle for Squirtle. It created an interesting display by using the sharp needles from Needle Arm to cut through the fluffy cotton balls from Cotton Spore, demonstrating incredible precision and impressing the judges enough for them to grant Harley a place in the second round.

In New Plot, Odd Lot!, Cacturne was lent to Jessie as part of Harley's plan to ruin May's chances of entering the Grand Festival. Shortly after being sent out, it fell in love with Jessie. This happened because Harley and Jessie are soul mates, as explained by Harley himself. Jessie used Cacturne in the Appeals Round of the Mulberry Contest. For its performance, Cacturne used Needle Arm and Cut to slice a carrot. It followed with Cotton Spore and used Bullet Seed to destroy the cotton-like spores and create a shower of sparkles. Its appeal was praised by the judges and easily put Jessie in the Battle Round.

In Thinning the Hoard!, Harley used Cacturne during his battle against May in the Kanto Grand Festival. It battled against May's Munchlax and Eevee along with Wigglytuff. It was able to surprise May's Pokémon and reduce her points but was quickly defeated by a combination of Focus Punch and Shadow Ball.

The last time Cacturne was seen was during The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!, where it was used to expose Team Rocket and send them blasting off after May and Drew's battle.

Cacturne in love

Though Cacturne are typically depicted as evil, not much is known about the moral standards about Harley's Cacturne. However, it is loyal enough to follow its master's every command, even if he is doing something most would consider unsportsmanlike or inhumane. It has often been seen posing like its master, meaning his personality is reflected from him. Moreover, it can be kind or compassionate to other people, as seen when it met May and when it first met Jessie.
