'''Cacturne''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノクタス''' ''Noctus'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cacturne is a humanoid, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a green scarecrow made of cacti. Its face has two eye holes through which yellow eyes can be seen, and six smaller holes representing a grinning mouth. It has numerous spikes along the length of its arms, legs, and around its neck. A pattern of green rhombi extends down the front of its body. A female has a large dark green rhombus above a smaller one, while a male has three small dark green rhombi. There is a triangular, dark green feature on its head that resembles a hat with spiky tips.
These peculiar Pokémon are green and have a humanoid appearance, they have menacing features such as yellow eyes, a smile that is made up of holes on it's face and are covered with spikes. They are nocturnal Pokémon.  


====Gender differences====
Cacturne is a nocturnal Pokémon that rarely moves during the day, which allows it to hold moisture. At night, it searches for prey or follows travelers until they become exhausted. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Needle Arm}} was its [[signature move]]. It has lived in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|deserts}} for so long that its blood has transformed into sand.
A female Cacturne has a big, dark-green rhombus where a male Cacturne has two small, dark-green rhombuses.


====Special abilities====
===Evolution===
Aside from its numerous poison abilities, Cacturne also carries Sand Veil. In a [[Weather conditions#Sandstorm|Sandstorm]], Cacturne's ability to avoid attacks is raised, giving it a sort of "home field advantage".
Cacturne evolves from {{p|Cacnea}}.


Cacturne, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Cacnea}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Needle Arm}}.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

===Origin===
{{tutor|grass|dark|4b|3a|Cacturne}}
Cacturne appears to based on a {{wp|cactus}}, possibly the {{wp|saguaro}}, and a {{wp|scarecrow}}. It could be associated with the nighttime because cacti are known as night ({{wp|Crassulacean acid metabolism|CAM}}) plants, since their {{wp|carbon dioxide}} fixation process occurs during the night. Its face is similar to a classic {{wp|Halloween}} {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}, referencing the tendency for scarecrows to have pumpkins for heads.
