Pikmin 4 – How to heal Oatchi
There are two ways that you can heal Oatchi in Pikmin 4. First, you can feed him Scrummy Bones. These tasty treats can be bought from Russ at the Rescue Corps camp for three Raw Materials. These will restore Oatchi’s HP instantly.
To use a Scrummy Bone, hold the Y button during your exploration. Use the left stick to select the Pack option in the menu. From there, select the Scrummy Bone. SImply toss the bone out like you would a Pikmin and the space dog will run to it and heal.
Outside of obtaining items from the lab, you can train Oatchi to heal himself. This takes much longer but saves you from needing to spend materials. You can train Oatchi by talking to Captain Shepherd at the rescue command post. The captain can train Oatchi in exchange for Pup Drive. Each level of the Heal ability costs three Pup Drive.
You can get Pup Drive points by going through caves and completing side missions. Training is a way to teach Oatchi new tricks. Other valuable tricks like chomp and rush can also be learned.
