Cacturne (Japanese: ノクタス Noctus) is a dual-type Grass/Dark Pokémon.
It evolves from Cacnea starting at level 32.
Biology
Physiology
Cacturne is a Pokémon that is primarily green in coloration and possesses a humanoid appearance, resembling a scarecrow made of cacti. They have menacing features such as yellow eyes and its mouth being composed of holes on its face. Cacturne has numerous spikes dotted along the length of its arms, legs, and neck. A pattern of green rhombuses extends down from the front of its body. Cacturne possesses a triangular, spiky-tipped feature on their head that is a darker shade of green than most of Cacturne’s body and resembles some sort of hat.
Gender differences
A female Cacturne has a big, dark-green rhombus where a male Cacturne has two small, dark-green rhombuses.
Special abilities
Aside from its numerous poison abilities, Cacturne also carries Sand Veil. In a sandstorm, Cacturne's ability to avoid attacks is raised, giving it a sort of "home field advantage."
Cacturne, and its pre-evolution, Cacnea, are the only known Pokémon that learn Needle Arm.
In addition, Cacturne's body retains moisture throughout the hot daylight hours. After spending thousands of years in harsh deserts, its blood transformed into the same substances as sand.
