If the [[rookie Rescue Officer]] 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. | ||
