The '''Searing Acidshock''' ({{j|セイコウノモト|Seikou no Moto|Leader to Success}}) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. 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 Story Mode, appearing in the [[Tropical Wilds]], [[Garden of Hope]], and [[Twilight River]].

===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.

===Garden of Hope===

====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===

}}
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.

==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.
