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
- There is never official confirmation for any name origins. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 02:49, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
so do you think it's worth adding this in then? I mean it would be a step up from "it sounds like the Japanese name". Tryplot (talk) 04:00, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- I personally would not add it. I don't find it all that likely, and -pnea isn't really intended to be used that way. It's usually used as a descriptive term. For example, "tachypnea" means rapid breathing. It'd be like saying, "cactus breathing", which is just . . . odd. It's more likely just intended to be similar to the Japanese name.
