The Crested Mockiwi is similar to the standard Mockiwi, but has more health and is faster. It also has a unique attack, where it roars and charges towards the player and Pikmin.

Locations

Strategy

The Crested Mockiwi is a tad harder to defeat than it’s counterpart, A simple pikmin on it’s back won’t do the trick. Aim for it’s signature crest instead, this will give the same effect as throwing a Pikmin onto the back of a normal Mockiwi, allowing you to bombard it anywhere without worrying about it retaliating. Though it will eventually shake off the Pikmin requiring a new one to be thrown. If it charges, a Pikmin throw to its head will halt it. You can also throw the Pikmin onto its hair and they will hold on for a couple of shakes.


Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

It's similar to a regular Mockiwi in many ways. I can't see any purpose for the crest beyond a distinctive look. Then again, nobody knows what the company president's hair is for either. Maybe that's why he has less and less of it every year.
