Physiology

These peculiar Pokémon are green and have a humanoid appearance, they have menacing features such as yellow eyes, a smile that is made up of holes on it's face and are covered with spikes. They are nocturnal Pokémon.

Gender differences

A female Cacturne has a big, dark-green rhombus where a male Cacturne has two small, dark-green rhombuses.

Special abilities

Aside from its numerous poison abilities, Cacturne also carries Sand Veil. In a Sandstorm, Cacturne's ability to avoid attacks is raised, giving it a sort of "home field advantage".
