Cacturne is a Grass/Dark-type Pokémon (National Dex #332) with a middling stat total of 475. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Attack at 115, which makes it a slow but heavy-hitting attacker. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Cacturne takes super-effective damage from Bug at 4×, and Fire, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Flying, Fairy at 2×. It is completely immune to Psychic. It resists Water, Electric, Grass, Ground, Ghost, Dark. Its ability options are Sand Veil, Water Absorb, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Cacturne evolves into Cacnea (32). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Cacturne has 29 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (6), BDSP (23) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Cacturne ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
