'''Oatchi''' ({{j|オッチン|Otchin}}) is a Rescue Pup, a type of space dog that is part of the [[Rescue Corps]]. In-game, he is the companion of the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player's character]], assisting them with transportation, by working like a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], by performing specialized tasks, and by serving as a secondary [[leader]] if the two are separated. His breed of space dogs has long served the [[Shepherd family]], and he obeyed only [[Shepherd|Erma Shepherd]], the captain of the Rescue Corps, until the player's character appeared. Like his owner, he is from the planet [[Giya]].

Five of Oatchi's skills are already a part of Oatchi's skillset from the get go: buff, chomp, rush, dig, and command. Some others are learned automatically through story progression instead of being taught by Shepherd with Pup Drive.

== Skills ==

'''Pluck''' allows Oatchi to [[pluck]] Pikmin sprouts. Further levels increase the speed at which he can pluck. Each level of Pluck costs one Pup Drive. Measurements for plucking speeds are approximate. The number in parentheses is when Oatchi plucks multiple Pikmin in a row.

* Pluck level 2: Oatchi plucks Pikmin sprouts every 0.7 (0.25) seconds.

* Pluck level 3: Oatchi plucks Pikmin sprouts every 0.6 (0.2) seconds.

** Gather Pikmin: Oatchi will find any stray Pikmin not performing tasks and bring them to the player's character.

=== Infinite Rush ===

Once Oatchi has been taught every skill by Shepherd, as well as the additional skill by Olimar, he is capable of learning one final "Legendary Skill": the '''Infinite Rush'''. This costs eight Pup Drive, and as the name suggests, allows Oatchi to run during his rush for as long as desired; stopped only by hitting a wall or pressing {{button|switch|b}}. The Infinite Rush does not activate if Oatchi was told to rush by the player as a squad member, while not being controlled. It only has one level.

*Oatchi will squint his eyes if he is near an [[enemy]]. [[Moss]] will also do this in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]].

**Strangely, Oatchi will do the same thing if near the [[Gildemander]] and [[Gildemandwee]]'s fake golds, suggesting the gold is counted as a enemy.
