Cacnea (Japanese: サボネア Sabonea) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves into Cacturne starting at level 32.
Biology
Cacnea is a green, bipedal Pokémon with a round body and cactus-like striations. It has a dark green rhombus shape above its face, and six dark green rhombus shapes that ring around its waist. It has dark circles around its eyes, and its mouth composed of several similar circles. It has two dark green spikes on each side of its head, along with a yellow flower bud on top of its head. It has two club-like arms that are ringed with dark green spikes, and its two stubby legs are dark green and conical.
Cacnea uses its thorny arms like hammers to attack its opponents. Prior to Generation V, Needle Arm was its signature move. It is able to live in deserts for 30 days without any water, due to its body being able to store moisture. The beauty and fragrance of its yellow flower depend on the harshness of its environment. This flower releases a strong aroma to attract prey. When prey approaches, Cacnea shoots sharp thorns to bring it down.
Evolution
Cacnea evolves into Cacturne.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same Egg Group combination as Cacnea and its evolution.
- Cacnea and its evolution are also the only Grass-type Pokémon in the Human-Like Egg Group.
- Cacnea shares its category with Maractus. They are both known as the Cactus Pokémon.
- Cacnea has no Egg Moves in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet prior to Version 2.0.1. This was presumably unintentional, as it regained them in said version. The same situation occurred with Luvdisc and Alolan Grimer.
Origin
Cacnea is based on a barrel cactus and possibly a jack-o'-lantern. The flower on top of its head looks like a crown.
Name origin
Cacnea may be a combination of cactus and its Japanese name.
Sabonea may be a combination of 仙人掌 saboten (cactus) and debonair.
