Freezecake is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is known for crushing Pikmin, revealing its icy bottom half, which only Ice Pikmin are able to stand. Just like other shellcakes, it flips over to its other side to crush Pikmin.
Notes
Dalmo
"The way its blue-white shell is woven through with cracks makes it look like a porcelain coaster. What's more, it's cold enough to keep your drink chilled! Of course, this remarkable critter is very much alive and would flip-flop your drink right over!"
Olimar
"By emitting frigid air from one side of its shell, it can freeze and squash any prey that approaches too closely. Food can be hard to find in extremely cold climates, so one theory is that this species has developed some kind of mechanism that allows it to store its prey for long periods of time."
Louie
"The meat under the icy side of the shell is quite muscular, while the other side is nice and fatty. Two great tastes in one!"
Strategy
The Freezecake is an uncommon and fairly easy enemy. When you first encounter one it is advised to throw Rock Pikmin at it, as they are immune to its crushing attack. Once it has flipped over to its icy side, you'll want to start throwing your Ice Pikmin. If you don't want to risk losing Pikmin then you will want to recall them once the Freezecake starts leaning over again. When fighting a Freezecake keep in mind that Rock Pikmin can be crushed by its icy side and that it cannot be frozen.
Trivia
- The Freezecake's scientific name roughly translates to "Kryon shell."
