Pikmin 4: All Oatchi Upgrades & Abilities

You'll meet Oatchi as soon as your adventure starts and he's an immediately useful doggy pal to have around, with the ability to pluck Pikmin, jump onto low ledges, dig for treasures and rush enemies and environmental barriers.

Once you rescue Captain Shepherd early in the game, you'll be able to further enhance your puppy pal with a bunch of upgrades and new abilities that turn him into a real wonder dog.

Most abilities here, such as Chomp, Buff and Rush, can be upgraded through three levels of power. Once you've maxed them out, you'll unlock a super version of that skill which will make Oatchi even stronger.

In order to upgrade abilities you'll need to increase your Pup Drive by completing missions and dungeons, then return to Shepherd to rank up.

Let's look at all of the abilities that become available to you across your adventure.
