Origins
Cacturne appears to be a mix of a "cactus" and a "scarecrow". Its name, seeing how Cacturne is a Grass/Dark Pokémon, is a mix of the words "cactus" and "nocturnal".
Trivia
- Despite it saying Cacturne is a nocturnal Pokémon, it can be found in the wild all the time in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and in the morning in Pokémon Platinum.
- It was fixed in Pokémon Platinum where Cacturne could only be found in the morning and nighttime.
- Cacturne is the only Dark-type Pokémon unable to learn the move Snarl.
