This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Section for information regarding their appearance and interactions as a Special Coach at the Blueberry Academy League Club Room |
Saguaro’s classes focus on the mechanics of sandwiches and other aspects of picnics. Despite his domestic skills and the fact that many of his Pokémon are on the cuter side, he has a reputation among his students as being cool, stylish, and aloof, which he feels the need to uphold. This prevents him from openly engaging in some of his interests, such as his taste for sweets. He even eats spicy food instead despite not favoring it. In forming bonds with him, he will ask the player to retrieve him some Sweet Herba Mystica. Upon its delivery, he enjoys it so openly that a student notices, but this doesn’t shatter their admiration of him. This shows him that he can enjoy his interests without worrying.
Saguaro has a cameo in Dendra’s friendship story, where he gives her cooking tips. He also participates in the Academy Ace Tournament.

Pokémon Adventures
Saguaro debuted in Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!. He and several other teachers were called to an emergency meeting by Clavell to discuss Violet, a new student that caused trouble during the Treasure Hunt's opening ceremony. Clavell informed the others of Violet's backstory and explained his behavior.
Later, at Asado Desert, Violet encountered Saguaro and Kofu during his and Arven's battle with the dual Quaking Earth Titans, Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Saguaro explained that he and Kofu were in the area after having helped rescue a worker at the Treasure Eatery who had gone missing. Once Great Tusk was knocked out, Saguaro and Kofu lent their aid by keeping Iron Treads in place long enough for Violet and Arven to defeat it as well. The four then enjoyed sandwiches made from the Sour Herba Mystica that the two Titans were guarding.
