This is a list of profiles and statistics for Pokey.
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 2
- Instruction Booklet bio: It is a walking cactus. Its entire body, except for its head, is covered with thorns. Thorns will hurt you if you touch them.[1]
Super Mario World
- Mario Mania: Aptly named, Pokey sidles slowly sideways, puncturing whatever he touches. Take him down a notch with a shell, or use Yoshi to eat him up.[2]
Super Mario Advance
- Instruction Booklet bio: These characters can be quite a thorn on your side. You'll find them in desert areas.[3]
Super Mario Galaxy
- Trading Card description: "Watch out for these cactuslike enemies in the Good Egg and Dusty Dune Galaxies. These creatures typically have three to five body segments that Mario must destroy individually. The green Pokeys are easier to defeat--just jump on their heads. The red ones are more challenging -- Mario must star-spin into each body segment."
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Trading Card description: "Ouch! Pokeys are cactus-like creatures made up of prickly spikes. They have a strange habit of transforming from time to time. When they do, the spiny segments change to smooth oranges. This change allows Yoshi to eat this Pokey fruit salad. And when Yoshi devours a Pokey, an egg with a power-up will be hatched too!"
Card Number: 41
Super Mario Run
- Notebook bio: "This spiky cactus will wobble its way toward you. Painful to touch, it can be defeated by a kicked shell."
Super Mario Maker 2
- Play Nintendo: "The iconic stacked cactus from multiple Super Mario games joins Super Mario Maker 2 for the first time. Players can even edit the height of each Pokey."[4]

Tattle | That's a Pokey. It's a cactus ghoul that's got nasty spines all over its body. Max HP is 4, Attack is 3, and Defense is 0. Look at those spines... Those would TOTALLY hurt.
