In-Depth Analysis
Cacturne totals 475 across its base stats, profiling as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Lean on its Attack (115) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Speed (55).
Its Grass, Dark typing leaves Cacturne with 7 weaknesses against 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Bug moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Cacturne in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1, Special Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
