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.
Evolution
Cacturne evolves from Cacnea.

- 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).
