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. Informing bonds with him, he will ask the player to retrieve him someSweet 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 inDendra’s friendship story, where he gives her cooking tips. He also participates in theAcademy Ace Tournament.

Clavell informed the others of Violet's backstory and explained his behavior.
InPASV25, atAsado Desert, Violet encountered Saguaro andKofu during his andArven's battle with the dual Quaking EarthTitans,Great Tusk andIron Treads. Saguaro explained that he and Kofu were in the area after having helped rescue a worker at theTreasure 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 theSour Herba Mystica that the two Titans were guarding.
Later,Penny encountered Saguaro,Dendra, andMiriam at the entrance hall ofUva Academy. Dendra tried getting Saguaro to try her sandwich made entirely of meat products despite Miriam's protests that it would result in severe stomach issues. Saguaro secretly preferred sweets, so he tried to pass the sandwich off to Penny, only for Miriam to help her escape by sending her out the building.
