Cacnea (Japanese: サボネア Sabonea) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
Biology
Physiology
Cacnea appear to be round, green Pokémon covered in green spikes. Its arms are different, however because of them being straight instead of round. Cacnea's mouth appears to have a couple of black spots on it, forming its mouth. It has eyes deep into its body with carved holes showing black inside of Cacnea. It also appears to be wearing a crown on top of its head. Cacnea also has giant spikes underneath him, forming its feet that function like footstools.
Natural abilities
Cacnea has the ability Sand Veil and the hidden ability Water Absorb. Sand Veil prevents Cacnea from being effected by sandstorms and raises its evasion in sandstorms by 20%. Water Absorb prevents Cacnea from being effected by Water-type moves and restores its HP a bit when hit by a Water-type move.
Evolution
Cacnea evolves into Cacturne once it reaches Level 32.

Appearances
Anime
A Cacnea that James caught was found in AG006: A Poached Ego!. It was caught after his Weezing and Jessie's Arbok were released to protect a herd of Koffing and a pack of Ekans from a Pokémon Poacher. A running gag in the show was that, upon being released from his Poké Ball for battle, Cacnea would promptly elect to painfully hug James' face. In DP054: Once There Were Greenfields, James gave his Cacnea to Gardenia for training.
Trivia
- No other Pokémon had the same egg group as Cacnea and its evolution.
- Cacnea and its evolution are the only Grass-type Pokémon that have the ability Sand Veil.
Origin
Cacnea appears to be based on a mix of a jack-o-lantern and a barrel cactus.
Etymology
Cacnea may come from cactus and Sabonea, its Japanese name.
Sabonea may come from saboten (cactus) and debonair (confident and charming).
