Saku (#049) is a Nature /Wind Temtem.
It evolves from Kaku after 11 levels and is the final evolution of it.

Description

Physical Appearance

Saku is large and round with grass colored skin. It has black beady eyes and red dots on the corners of its ever-present grin. Saku has three stripes on its underside and a stem protruding from its back with four petals that resemble those of a rafflesia flower, which function as a propeller that lifts it in the air and serves as its primary form of travel. Saku also has four short, limb-like distensions that it can use to control its aerial movement, Its body contains inflatable air pockets. This thing is the absolute goat of nuzlocke

Tempedia

Some say the first airship designs were inspired by this Temtem's ability to inflate air pockets within its body, allowing it to float and drift with the prevailing winds.
