CacturneGreat Encounters #34 Pokémon Card

Cacturne, the Scarecrow Pokémon, is a Grass/Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It evolves from Cacnea starting at Level 32. Cacturne is known for its distinctive desert-dwelling appearance, resembling a scarecrow with sharp spikes and a menacing grin. It thrives in arid environments, blending in with cacti and desert flora. According to the Pokédex, Cacturne becomes active at night, preying on those exhausted from the day's desert heat. Its diet likely consists of smaller desert creatures or even unwary travelers, making it a formidable presence in its ecosystem. In the games, Cacturne is often found in desert areas and is a popular choice for trainers looking for a strong Grass/Dark type. In the anime, Cacturne has been featured in various episodes, often depicted as a cunning and powerful Pokémon. Its unique type combination gives it an advantage against Psychic, Ground, Rock, and Water types, while being vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Ice, Fighting, Fairy, and Bug attacks. Its design and behavior contribute to its cultural significance as a symbol of the harsh beauty and danger of desert landscapes.
