Pokédex Flavour (description)
- Ruby
- During the daytime, CACTURNE remains unmoving so that it does not lose any moisture to the harsh desert sun. This POKéMON becomes active at night when the temperature drops.
- Sapphire
- If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, CACTURNE will follow in a ragtag group. The POKéMON are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.
- Emerald
- After spending thousands of years in harsh deserts, its blood transformed into the same substances as sand. It is nocturnal, so it hunts at night.
- Fire Red
- It lives in deserts. It becomes active at night when it hunts for prey exhausted from the desert's heat.
- Leaf Green
- It lives in deserts. It becomes active at night when it hunts for prey exhausted from the desert's heat.
