Cacturne (Japanese: ノクタス Noctus) is a dual-type Grass/Dark Pokémon.
It evolves from Cacnea starting at level 32.
Biology
Cacturne is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a green scarecrow made of cacti. It has yellow eyes and its mouth is composed of holes on its face. It has numerous spikes along the length of its arms, legs, and neck. A pattern of green rhombi extends down the front of its body. A female has a big, dark green rhombus on its chest, while a male has two small dark green rhombi. There is triangular, dark green feature on its head that is a dark green and 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. It has lived in deserts for so long that its blood has transformed into sand. With its thorny arms, it is able to use its former signature move, Needle Arm.

Trivia
- As of Generation V, Cacturne and its pre-evolution's Egg Group (Grass and Human-Like) are unique.
Origin
Cacturne is based on a cactus, possibly the saguaro, and a scarecrow. It could be associated with nighttime because Cacti are known as night (CAM) plants, as their CO2 fixation process occurs during the night.
Name origin
Cacturne is a combination of cactus and nocturne or nocturnal. It may also involve tricorne, referring to its head shape.
Noctus is a combination of nocturne or nocturnal and cactus.
