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.
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

Strategy
|
The following article or section contains guides. |
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 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 throwing and charging are effective methods of attack against this enemy.
Notes
Dalmo's Notes
Olimar's Notes
It uses its plug-like protrusions to instantly shock its prey, and then squeezes 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.”
