Cacturne (Japanese: ノクタス Noctus) is a dual-type Grass/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Cacnea starting at level 32.

Biology

Cacturne is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a green scarecrow made of cacti. Its face has two eye holes through which yellow eyes can be seen, and six smaller holes representing a grinning mouth. It has numerous spikes along the length of its arms, legs, and around its neck. A pattern of green rhombi extends down the front of its body. A female has a large dark green rhombus above a smaller one, while a male has three small dark green rhombi. There is a triangular, dark green feature on its head that resembles a hat with spiky tips.

Cacturne is a nocturnal Pokémon that rarely moves during the day, which allows it to hold moisture. At night, it searches for prey or follows travelers until they become exhausted. Prior to Generation V, Needle Arm was its signature move. It has lived in deserts for so long that its blood has transformed into sand.

Ruby	During the daytime, Cacturne remains unmoving so that it does not lose any moisture to the harsh desert sun. This Pokémon becomes active at night when the temperature drops.
Sapphire	If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.
Emerald	After spending thousands of years in harsh deserts, its blood transformed into the same substances as sand. It is nocturnal, so it hunts at night.

Trivia

No other Pokémon has the same Egg Group combination as Cacturne and its pre-evolution.
- Cacturne and its pre-evolution are also the only Grass-type Pokémon in the Human-Like Egg Group.
Not counting the Porygon line, Jynx and Kadabra, which all have legal or controversial issues attached, Cacturne is the only Pokémon from the first three Generations that hasn't appeared in the anime or movies since Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire.

Origin

Cacturne appears to based on a cactus, possibly the saguaro, and a scarecrow. It could be associated with the nighttime because cacti are known as night (CAM) plants, since their carbon dioxide fixation process occurs during the night. Its face is similar to a classic Halloween jack-o'-lantern, referencing the tendency for scarecrows to have pumpkins for heads.

Name origin

Cacturne and Noctus may be a combination of cactus and nocturne (French for nocturnal).

-Cacturne is a nocturnal Pokémon that rarely moves during the day, which allows it to hold moisture. At night, it searches for prey or follows travelers until they become exhausted. It has lived in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|deserts}} for so long that its blood has transformed into sand. With its thorny arms, it is able to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Needle Arm}}.

 ==Trivia==
-*Cacturne and {{p|Cacnea|its pre-evolution}}'s [[Egg Group]] ({{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Human-Like}}) are unique.
+* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Cacturne and its pre-evolution.
+** Cacturne and its pre-evolution are also the only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
+* Not counting the {{p|Porygon}} line, {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Kadabra}}, which all have legal or controversial issues attached, Cacturne is the only Pokémon from the first three Generations that hasn't appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} or {{pkmn|movies}} since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.
 ===Origin===
-Cacturne is based on a {{wp|cactus}}, possibly the {{wp|saguaro}}, and a {{wp|scarecrow}}. It could be associated with nighttime because Cacti are known as night (CAM) plants, as their CO<sub>2</sub> fixation process occurs during the night. Its face is similar to a classic Halloween jack-'o-lantern, referencing the tendency for scarecrows to have pumpkins for heads.
