Appearances
Anime
May's rival, Harley, has a Cacturne that appears to be his main and favorite Pokémon, as Harley dresses in a way that looks very similar to a Cacturne. Harley's Cacturne made its first appearance in A Cacturne for the Worse and a minor appearance in the move starring Deoxys and Rayquaza, Destiny Deoxys. Harley also dresses like a Cacturne.
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.
Origins
It might be based off of the Bubak, a scarecrow that would imitate cries of a newborn baby in order to lure them to their deaths. They also follow people around until they can't move, similar to its Pokedex entry from HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Etymology
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".
