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.
