Read more ↓Cacturne, the Scarecrow Pokémon, is a Grass/Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the evolved form of Cacnea, which evolves starting at level 32. Cacturne is known for its nocturnal habits, becoming active at night to hunt for prey that has been exhausted by the harsh desert heat during the day. Its spiky, cactus-like body provides excellent camouflage in its arid habitat, allowing it to blend in with desert flora. Cacturne often stands motionless, patiently waiting for its unsuspecting prey to approach before striking. In the anime, Cacturne has been featured as a recurring Pokémon, most notably as a member of Harley's team. Its distinctive appearance and unique type combination make it a memorable figure in the Pokémon world, often associated with the mysteries and dangers of desert environments. Its design draws inspiration from scarecrows and cacti, symbolizing its role as a silent hunter of the desert night. The combination of Grass and Dark typing gives Cacturne a unique set of resistances and weaknesses, making it a strategic choice for trainers in the games.
