Editing Shockcake

 

The '''Shockcake''' ({{j|シビレオオバン|Shibire Ooban|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 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 [[rookie Rescue Officer]] 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.

=== Dalmo's notes ===

{{transcript|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!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes ===

{{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}}
