What's wrong with Cacturne?

I don't care...
I was looking up Cacturne's stats, and he has 361 max special attack... now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's pretty friggin' high... I was wondering why more people don't use him... is it because of his speed or defenses?

Back I guess??
YES!

Anything faster (which is not rare) can sweep it fastly due to it´s defenses.

I thought so... Cacturne would be so cool if he didn't have these hindrances... he looks awesome...

cacturne has base attack of 115 and a base sp.attk of 115

if it had more speed. Say at least 95. Itd be a decent mixed sweeper

He's not terrible, but his movepool is kinda sad....and since his Defense is low....

at any rate if you did want to use him....

Catucurne
Defensive Nature - Leftovers

Ingrain
Leech Seed
Needle Arm
Faint Attack / Thunderpunch

Even with his bad defense, this way he'll get a lot of life back every turn...should be able to outlast... could even use toxic...

Depending on its nature, Cacturne's stats change. It probably IS high for its nature. I would think that if people actually look at Cacturne's stats, they'd use it. I know I would. :D

That made cacturne cry because he feels as if you're making fun of its speed.

A look at his defenses, and they'd think otherwise. I bet they already have. :/

55 base speed, is sad although I've seen slower. Shuckle with a base speed of 5....

Slowest pokemon ever. At least shuckle has some defense.

Yeah, it's because its Defenses and Speed are bad. :p This has been pretty much answered now, and most of the posts are just generally stating what I said in my first sentence, so I'll close this. :p
