Cacnea (サボネア Sabonea in Japan, Tuska in Germany and Cacnea in France) is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Pokémon franchise.

The name, "Cacnea", is derived from the word cactus, the plant of which Cacnea is based off.

Biology

The Pokémon Cacnea prefers to live in harsh, arid locations, such as deserts. The more arid and harsh the environment, the more pretty and fragrant type of flower a Cacnea can grow. It can survive for 30 days on water stored in its body. Cacnea releases a strong aroma from its flower to attract prey. When prey comes near, Cacnea shoots sharp thorns from its body to bring the victim down. This Pokémon battles by wildly swinging its thorny arms.

In the video games and anime

Cacnea evolves into Cacturne, a Grass/Dark-type Pokémon, upon reaching level 32. Cacnea's ability is Sand Veil, making its evasion higher during a sandstorm. Cacnea's high evasion skills put the attacks of opponents at an 80% chance of landing. Cacnea's highest stats are Attack and Special Attack, and its total base stats is relatively average. A wild Cacnea has a 5% chance of holding a Poison Barb, an item that increases the power of Poison-type moves of the Pokémon holding it.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, Cacnea can only be found on Route 111. It is a relatively rare Pokémon to be captured, especially in Pokémon Emerald. In the anime, James has a Cacnea that is rather fond of him. However, when it attempts to express his fondness of James through hugging him, his numerous spikes injure James.
