Dynamic Punch
Cacnea can also learn Dynamic Punch through breeding from many other Pokémon such as Sceptile and Ludicolo. Should these be added in also? --☆FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2☆ 03:16, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
name origin
Is there official confirmation that cacnea's name is only meant to sound like the Japanese name? I can easily see them having cacnea's name mean breathing (pNEA is the medical suffix meaning breathing) CACtus. Tryplot (talk) 12:12, 14 May 2014
