When Oatchi is nearby, the player's character and their Pikmin can ride on his back and hips. Like with controlling Oatchi solo, this helps avoid stray Pikmin casualties.

When drinking nectar, Oatchi will stop to do so while the leader can keep throwing and whistling.

'''Swallow''' allows Oatchi to carry more than just small things in his mouth. Once unlocked, if Oatchi is directed to carry something that no Pikmin are, and he's able to carry it by himself given his current buffness,<!--this might seem superfluous but it's for the superheavyweight stuff--> he will store the whole thing in his mouth and walk to his destination. While this prevents the player from adding carriers to make it go faster, it has the following benefits:

* Oatchi can use Swallow to steal an object right out of a [[Breadbug]]'s grip, causing it to flee; stealing from a [[Giant Breadbug]] causes it to get angry and charge. While this makes it easier to collect the item, it makes it harder to kill the Breadbug, as doing so deals no damage. In the same way, he can steal objects from opposing Pikmin in [[Dandori Battle]]s, from where it must be forced out of him before the enemy can try to take it back.

This skill is taught by [[Olimar]] after rescuing him and learning Super Buff level 3. It costs no Pup Drive and only has one level. Olimar himself learned about the Swallow skill from Moss, who developed the ability after they recovered a certain number of [[ship part]]s. Once unlocked, Oatchi cannot carry an object normally by himself, unless he is carrying it with Pikmin and the Pikmin are called off.

'''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.

=== Infinite Rush ===
=== 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.

== Naming ==
== Naming ==
Oatchi's English name is derived from his Japanese name. His English name is phonetically similar to [[mariowiki:Yoshi|Yoshi]]. This is likely an intentional reference, as Oatchi is ridden much like Yoshi and follows similar naming conventions with Olimar, whose name is derived from [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]], as [[Louie]] is from [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]]. He may, alternatively, be modeled after the more dog-like [[mariowiki:Poochy|Poochy]], whose Japanese name, Pochi, is even closer to "Oatchi" than his English name, and whose tail resembles that of Oatchi.
Oatchi's English name is derived from his Japanese name, {{j|オッチン|Otchin}}, which is based on a command for dogs to sit.
