Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| 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. |
| FireRed / LeafGreen | It lives in deserts. It becomes active at night when it hunts for prey exhausted from the desert’s heat. |
| Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2 / X | It becomes active at night, seeking prey that is exhausted from the day’s desert heat. |
| HeartGold / SoulSilver / Y | Packs of them follow travelers through the desert until the travelers can no longer move. |
| Omega 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. |
| Alpha 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. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
