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.

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.

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.

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.
