Lesser Mock Bottom

The Lesser Mock Bottom is a fruit in, and a treasure in. It is a. In Pikmin 3, it is found in the Tropical Wilds, Garden of Hope, and Twilight River, gives one bottle of purple-pink juice (one half in Ultra-Spicy mode), and in Mission Mode, it is worth 50 Pokos. In Pikmin 4, it can be found in Sun-Speckled Terrace and Serene Shores.

Tropical Wilds
The Lesser Mock Bottom in the Tropical Wilds is found near some Pyroclasmic Slooches. From the small bridge near the land site, turn right and go past the waterfall. There will then be a dirt mound, and beyond that, some Pyroclasmic Slooches. There will be a cluster of Spotcaps, and next to them is the fruit. Make sure to have taken care of the Hermit Crawmad near the base to assure an easy collection.

Garden of Hope
The Lesser Mock Bottom in the Garden of Hope is in the second half of the area, accessible only after Louie runs off. Near where the pot-shaped bridge is/would be is a high ledge with a Flukeweed. With at least 3 Winged Pikmin, charge the Flukeweed from under the water. If the teacup is built, it is possible to throw a leader over with some Winged Pikmin, but charging should be enough to retrieve the fruit.

Twilight River
The Lesser Mock Bottom in the Twilight River is in the area where Winged Pikmin are discovered, hidden under a Flukeweed. It is under the Flukeweed closest to the river and requires three Winged Pikmin to uproot. Simply have the Winged Pikmin carry the fruit over the river to the S.S. Drake.

Sun-Speckled Terrace
There is a Lesser Mock Bottom hidden inside a jar in the northwestern section of the overworld. To collect it, you must rush the jar with Oatchi to break it, then throw 3 Pikmin at it. The Pikmin will go up the slope, triggering three Female Sheargrubs to crawl up from the dirt, but they can be safely ignored.

Serene Shores
There is a Lesser Mock Bottom buried under a sand mound in the northwestern corner of the overworld, just beyond the wall east of the Dandori Challenge. It can be found with the Treasure Gauge or Oatchi. To collect this treasure, you must throw 3 Pikmin at it.
