Sprites
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 movie starring Deoxys and Rayquaza, Destiny Deoxys.
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.
Origin
Cacturne is based on a combination of a cactus and a scarecrow. Its face resembles a jack-'o-lantern, while its hat, green color, and Dark-type may be a reference to the Moomin franchise's (as it's popular in Japan) Snufkin, a humanoid character with a love of nature and extreme hatred for any sort of authority or leadership, leading him to do dangerous and even criminal things to people in positions of authority. It may also be based on the Final Fantasy series's Cactuars, humanoid cactus-like creatures that have appeared as both enemies and summons.
Etymology
Cacturne is a portmanteau of "cactus" and "nocturne."
Nokutasu is a portmanteau of "noct-" (a prefix meaning "night") and "cactus."
