Ultra-Bitter Spray

The Ultra-Bitter Spray is a very useful spray in Pikmin 2 which can petrify almost any enemy, including bosses for a short period of time. During this time the enemies can be attacked, usually inflicting plenty of damage except in a few rare cases with some of the bosses. If you defeat a petrified enemy before it can revert back to its normal state, it will leave behind a drop of nectar or perhaps a dose of Ultra-Spicy Spray or Ultra-Bitter Spray. In order to get more Ultra-Bitter Sprays, seek out plants in the overworld that bear purple berries and have Pikmin harvest them and bring the berries back to your rocket. Ten purple berries make one dose of Ultra-Bitter Spray. Purple berries are decidedly rare, but the best place to find them is Perplexing Pool. Another option is to look for Doodlebugs in certain caverns. If you flip over a doodlebug three times, it will leave behind two Ultra-Bitter Spray doses along with nectar. Doodlebugs are also rare, and the best place to find them is Frontier Cavern. A trio of them live among the bulborbs on the first sublevel.
