The '''Searing Acidshock''' ({{j|セイコウノモト|Seikou no Moto|Leader to Success}}) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and a [[treasure]] in {{p4}}. It is a green, unripened {{w|Prunus mume|Japanese apricot}}, also known as an ume. It takes three Pikmin to [[carry]], and gives one bottle of juice (half a bottle in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]]). It also bears a slight resemblance to the [[Lesser Mock Bottom]], although they're entirely different fruits. There are four Searing Acidshocks in ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} Story Mode, appearing in the [[Tropical Wilds]], [[Garden of Hope]], and [[Twilight River]], and three in ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}}, in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], [[Hero's Hideaway]], and [[Primordial Thicket]].

=== Tropical Wilds ===

At the far end of the large body of water guarded by a [[Hermit Crawmad]], there is a passage to another large area. A [[dirt wall]] must be destroyed, revealing a large, round area with a small chunk of land in the middle. Defeat the [[Puckering Blinnow]]s in the surrounding water, and you will find a [[Calcified Crushblat]] on the chunk of land. Using nearby [[Candypop Bud]]s, Rock Pikmin can be obtained to defeat the Crushblat, which has the Searing Acidshock. Use the Candypop Buds once again to transform the Rock Pikmin back into [[Blue Pikmin]], and carry back the fruit. Alternatively, you can destroy the creature easily with three [[bomb rock]]s.

==== Crystal ====
After [[Louie]] has been saved from the [[Scornet Maestro]], he will run away, destroying the cinder block in the [[Garden of Hope]], opening up a new section. [[Blue Pikmin]] must be used to retrieve submerged fragments in order to build a bridge across to a tiled chunk of land. A [[Waddlepus]] will be found here, along with a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] and a large [[crystal]] which contains the Searing Acidshock. Upon destroying the crystal, the fruit will be ready to be taken back.

==== Bug-Eyed Crawmad ====
Another Searing Acidshock is found in the area beyond the cinder block, and is inside a [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] next to a large pile of fragments. The creature is surrounded by water on both sides, so [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]] or [[Winged Pikmin]] must be used to fight it. Winged Pikmin make for a quicker fight, since they automatically fly up to the creature's eye-stalks without needing to throw.

=== Twilight River ===
{{location map | width = 300 | height = 414 | image = Twilight River minimap.png | caption = Location of the Searing Acidshock in the Twilight River. | icons =
{{map icon | Searing Acidshock | 174 | 134}}
}}
Using [[lily pad]]s, you must cross the river north of the landing site and head to the west until coming across a [[Puffy Blowhog]]. Close to the edge of the river in the area there are some [[Flukeweed]]s. One requires 3 Winged Pikmin to lift and holds the Searing Acidshock. Thanks to a branch nearby that leads directly back to the [[Drake]], the return trip should be very quick for this fruit.

== Collecting the treasure ==
{{guide}}

=== Blossoming Arcadia ===
There is a Searing Acidshock near of a [[Waddlequaff]] at the eastern edge of the overworld. To collect this treasure, you must build the [[climbing wall]] on the western wall, located next to the sequence of [[jar]]s, and then either be quick enough so the Waddlequaff doesn't swallow it, or get it out of the Waddlequaff. To do so, either defeat the creature, or force it to spit it out with enough damage, then distract the enemy while the treasure is being carried off.

=== Hero's Hideaway ===
There is a Searing Acidshock hidden on the floor, inside some [[jar]]s, near the northeastern corner of the kitchen floor. To collect it, you must break the jars, defeat the two [[Gildemandwee]]s that appear, and then throw 3 Pikmin at it.

=== Primordial Thicket ===
{{see also|Baldy Long Legs#Strategy}}
There is a Searing Acidshock inside of a [[Baldy Long Legs]] near the south of the overworld, at the Autumnal Gully [[base]]. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat the Baldy Long Legs, then throw 3 Pikmin at it.

== Trivia ==
*Umes are often pickled, turning into the dish "umeboshi", or Japanese salt plums. They have a strong sour and salty taste. This is why Brittany suggests pickling the Searing Acidshock to make it more palatable.
