Collect Pellets to Increase Pikmin Count

As soon as the challenge starts, collect pellets from nearby Pellet Posy to increase the number of Pikmin you have in your squad.

Prioritize Treasures in the Northwest Area

Once you have enough Pikmin, prioritize collecting treasures in the northwest area of the arena. If you can take control of that area, the enemy will be forced to retrieve treasures far from them.

Get the Golden Sniffer Before the Enemy Does

Collect the Golden Sniffer found in the northwest most part of the map. It has a high number of points when collected, and it won't respawn after, so get it before the enemy does.

It requires a lot of Pikmin to carry, so keep increasing the number of Pikmin you command!

Collect and Use Mystery Capsules

Collect Mystery Capsules and use them to sabotage your enemy or increase your Pikmin count, giving you an advantage in this challenge! Prioritize collecting it as soon as you see one!

Disrupt Moss

Throw Pikmin at the enemy's rescue dog, Moss, to disrupt its tasks. Moss can carry heavy treasure alone, so be wary of his movement in the arena!

Lvl. 2 Super Buff is Recommended

It is recommended to let Oatchi learn Super Buff and upgrade it to Lvl 2, as this will be vital in aiming for a Platinum rank in this Dandori Battle. A Lvl 2 Super Buff gives Oatchi the strength of 30 Pikmin, allowing him to transport heavy treasure alone.
