Saguaro (Japanese: サワロ Saguaro) is a character in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. He serves as the home economics teacher of Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V.

In the core series games

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. During his friendship story, 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.

Academy Ace Tournament

Saguaro will Terastallize his Hatterene at the first opportunity.

"I will remain calm despite the circumstances. I must stand firm!"

• Upon Terastalizing his Hatterene

"Let us do this…adorably. Hatterene, it is time to Terastallize."

• Upon using Hatterene's Dazzling Gleam

"Though you are a student, I cannot go easy on you—especially seeing as you are a Champion."

• Upon defeat

"Perhaps the secret to your strength is a balanced diet?"

"What can I say in the face of such strength? I should have expected no less from a Champion."

Trivia
