Sawsbuck is a dual-type {{Ghost}}/{{Dark}} Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Deerling starting at level 34.

in Unova, Sawsbuck has a {{Normal}}/{{Grass}} regional form

Generation A Aotea #??? Jade Sawsbuck changes its coat in time with the seasons. They were introduced to Aotea to help keep track of time.

Generation B Raikos #??? Legends: Dethroner I don't like how it looks at me. There's a sort of... glimmer in its eye. Does it enjoy watching people? It definitely is less innocent than its Deerling form. That, or I have ommetaphobia. Unovan Sawsbuck Legends: Dethroner Finally, I find a deer that isn't messed up and evil. Fun fact, some people call these things "The Harbingers of Spring". That's a cool title, but what about the other seasons?.

Origin

Sawsbuck is based on Actaeon, who, according to legend, was turned into a deer and killed for watching Artemis bathe.

Unovan Sawsbuck may be based on a Père David's deer, which is a species of deer that decorates its antlers with foliage during the breeding season. Its antlers may also be based on a deciduous tree. It may also be based on one of the stories of Baron Munchausen, in which he tries to shoot a stag using cherry pits in his musket. The stag survives and escapes, and the next year he discovers a stag with a cherry tree growing out of its head.

Name origin

Sawsbuck may be a play on sawbuck (framework for holding wood to be sawn), which contains the word buck (male deer). SAWS may also be an acronym for the names of the seasons (summer, autumn, winter, and spring).
