How to Defeat Shockcake

Tips to Defeat Shockcake
Step 1: Attack All at Once Then Recall Step 2: Stay Back Even If Its Health is Depleted

Attack All at Once Then Recall

Before engaging Shockcake, be sure to equip Charging Horn so you can send all of your Pikmin all at once by pressing the X button.

While attacking, Shockcake will tilt its body vertically. Recall your Pikmin when it does this; its next move is to drop hard on the ground, smashing any Pikmin caught in the impact.

Have Yellow Pikmin Attack Its Shock Side

Shock Side	Normal Side

Shockcake's shock side can only be attacked by Yellow Pikmin. For any other Pikmin, they can attack the normal side, which is clear of the electricity. We recommend having Yellow Pikmin in your lineup to attack the shock side.

Equip Oatchi With Anti-Electrifier

The Lab Guide

Stay Back Even If Its Health is Depleted

Don't let your guard down yet when Shockcake's health has been depleted! It will drop for one last time, possibly eliminating any Pikmin caught within the vicinity.

When Shockcake's about to die, recall you Pikmin and attack only when it's flat on the ground.

Dalmo's Log	Living creatures can sense your intent and emotions, so if you face them with love in your heart, they'll know it. When you love and are loved back, even the occasional electric shock isn't so bad. That's right-instead of play biting, this sweetie does play shocking. It can zap away shoulder stiffness and fatigue in a flash!
Olimar's Log	This species has muscular organs that can create electricity by using ion gradients within densely layered rows of electricity-generating cells, which are arranged in an asymmetrical series. It uses its plug-like protrusions to instantly shock its prey, and then squashes it. The squashed prey acts as fertilizer, improving the quality of the soil so that the microorganisms and moss that the Shockcake feeds on can thrive.
Louie's Log	Sauté in butter, and cover with a sauce made from the green liver paste. Anyone with a highly developed palate will enjoy the slightly bitter flavor profile.
