Hanging Cocoberry

The Hanging Cocoberry is a species of plant appearing in Pikmin: Before the Sequel. It is a species of berry-producing plants that grow on the side of rocks and cliffs, hence the name Hanging Cocoberry.

Hanging Cocoberries have two separate subspecies, Yellowberries and Tealberries. They have a very thick and heavy shell to prevent consumption by whiskerpillars and other predators. As a tradeoff, Cocoberries are unable to produce juice. Instead, the seeds have a special creamy secretion that can be ground up to produce syrups.

Cocoberries need to be weighed down by ten Pikmin, or a single Purple Pikmin, in order for them to break off the plant and be transported back to the ship. When a berry is harvested it needs a full in-game week before another berry grows in its place. Each berry produces a single dose of syrup, making them hard to come by if other methods of collecting syrups is not known.
