Pikmin 4 – Best Abilities To Teach Oatchi First | Tips & Tricks
Oatchi is the cutest – and best – addition to Pikmin 4, and that simply isn’t up for debate. Our two-legged alien pooch does a lot of work for us during our expedition, but with a bit of training, Oatchi can transcend from invaluable, to god-like.
