Despite its appearance, the Scorchcake's "crust" is soft enough to be damaged, though the fiery underbelly can only be damaged by [[Red Pikmin]]. If the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] or [[Oatchi]] have equipped the [[Scorch Guard]], this minimizes the risk of harm from the creature's fire. Even with a small squad, the Scorchcake is simple enough to deal with, as long as you ensure no Pikmin are vulnerable in its path. If they are about to be crushed, or are on fire, simply [[whistle]] them to your side. If the Scorchcake loses all of its [[health]] while on its side, all Pikmin should be immediately called away, or they will be crushed as the creature topples over to become a corpse. Both [[throw]]ing and [[Charge|charging]] are effective methods of attack when fighting this creature.

{{transcript|Related to bivalves, it uses its internal muscles to dexterously manipilate its upper and lower shells. This ability allows it to squash eggs and small Ambuloradices like Pikmin, thus returning nectar to the ground. It then feeds off the microorganisms and moss that benefit from the nectar.

To further facilitate the growth of its food, the Scorchcake will secrete oils from its body through its shell and onto the ground. It then sets that area on fire, perhaps as a way to improve soil fertility.|block=y}}
