The '''Shockcake''' ({{j|シビレオオバン|Shibireooban|Paralysis {{w|Imagawayaki|Ōban-yaki}}}}) is a disc-shaped [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. On one side it has a hard brown carapace, while on the other side it has constant sparks of [[electricity]] that can electrify Pikmin. It flips between these sides and can [[crush]] Pikmin while doing so.
The '''Shockcake''' ({{j|シビレオオバン|Shibireooban}}) is a mollusc-like creature that debuted in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It's upper half is a soft, cylindrical carapace, while it's lower half has jolts of electricity sparking constantly, rendering this enemy a crushing hazard, and an electrocuting hazard.

== Behavior ==
The Shockcake will lie in wait for prey, occasionally sticking its eyestalks out. When a leader or Pikmin approaches it, it will rotate 90 degrees, resting its body on its side. After a short delay, it will rotate another 90 degrees in an attempt to crush or electrocute Pikmin, depending on which side it lands on. If it lands on its electric side, it will release jolts of electricity around itself, electrifying objects around it, so take care when getting close. Regardless of which side it lands on when it dies, its corpse will always land electric-side up but with the electricity deactivated.

Regardless of which side it lands on when it dies, its corpse will always land belly up.
 
==Appearance==
The Shockcake is a cylindrical rock-covered mollusc-like creature with its underside being constantly sparking with electrical currents. It has yellow snail-like eyes that are able to retract and hide within its shell.
 
== Locations ==
Only a single Shockcake is found in the game, in the [[Sightless Passage]].

The non-elemental half of a Shockcake is able to be damaged by every Pikmin type, but its shocking underbelly can only be damaged by [[Yellow Pikmin]] (and [[Glow Pikmin]]). If the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] or [[Oatchi]] have equipped the [[Anti-Electrifier]], then this enemy will be less of a hassle. Even with a small squad, defeating this enemy is simple enough, so long as you ensure no Pikmin are left vulnerable in its path. If any Pikmin are electrified, or about to be crushed, whistle them to your side. When the Shockcake loses all of its health while on its side, it will topple again before becoming a corpse, so whistle your Pikmin away before they get crushed. Both [[throw]]ing and [[Charge|charging]] are effective methods of attack against this enemy.

{{transcript|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.|block=y}}

|jpcommon  = ({{j|シビレオオバン|Shibireooban}}) The first part is based on 痺れる, meaning "numbing" or "paralyzing". The second part could be derived from "ōban-yaki (大判焼き)", a Kansai-dialect derived name for a type of cylindrical cake cooked on a flippable, indented pan, like a waffle iron. In Tokyo, this kind of street food is usually called "Imagawayaki (今川焼き)".
