Though they are referred to as rhombi here, I would opine that Cacturne's shape pattern consists of squares. Also, its name is surely based on 'nocturne' rather than 'nocturnal'? Punkrockrevel 05:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Wouldn't be easier just to say "diamond-pattern"? How many general readers even know what a rhombus is? ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 14:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Uh... there's no gen. III learnset listed for Cacturne. Something should be done. I'd do it if I knew the learnset, but I don't. Mad1man 04:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
