hardest enemies+tips

which enemies do you think are the hardest and do you have tips for defeating them?

feiry bulbaxes kill more pikmin than most bosses for me,so i spray him and throw reds
(is it just me, or is the feiry bulbax hard even without the fire?)
if its in subterrenian complex or something, I lead grub dogs off cliffs.i did this accidentally once and the treasure reappeared right next to me:-)

Did you know that if Pikmin get caught on fire, stuck in water or poisoned by gas that you can just Whistle them back to save them?

Well, if you toss your Purple Pikmin onto a Bulbax - even Fiery ones - that'll hurt the Bulbax, but they'll bounce off and be on fire, so just Whistle them back and run away if the guy's not dead yet, then repeat!

cool! I didn't know that!
I sometimes attack using no pikmin and just punch them for harder enemies.

for gatling grionks (PURE, UNADULTERATED EVIL) , let him attack while holding a purple, then rush around to his side and stun him with a purple, then attack

I used to do that too, but it just took so long - so I decided to start tossing Purples at everyone (it's QUITE effective)!!!

I agree,sheiny,but its hard with that visor on the groinks face

this goes for all creaures:
try to take creatures one at a time(you cant with spotty bulbears which is why they are even more evil than groinks)
all enemies follow you to a certain radius. when they start walking back, thats when you attack.
i find this very helpful against orange bulborbs and water dumples

also,for decorated cannon beetles,dismiss pikmin and call louie or the prez.then lure the beetle's rocks to kill itself or other nearby monsters(otherise hes hard).its kind of obvious,but it can also be done with grionks and beetle larvae against others

if you are fighting and empoerer bulbax,(unless hes in bulbax kingdom)make them eat bomb rocks(if you have the first game,u already know this)he will be hurt and stunned.without bomb rock i think hes pretty difficult

i havent tried this but...
for the empress in the frontier cave,dismiss your pikmin and run around to the other side, destroying larvae along the way.then have your partner thow all pikmin to the cliff your on.this way you can avoid larvae and go straight for the empress.

To beat Titan Dweevil - this is what I do...

- It doesn't really matter how many Pikmin you have here as long as they're Yellow.
- It's quality not quantity for this boss.
- So use Olimar to take your Yellows (20's good) over to Louie and reveal the big spider.
- Have the Prez with the other Pikmin in a corner somewhere.
- Use the Yellows to take out the Monster Pump (Water) first.
- It'll take a while to knock out the Pump so if Titan uses the water/poison/fire attack swarm the Yellows together.
- If he uses Electricity just keep attacking.
- Now he can't shoot bubbles of water anymore and he can't drown any of the Pikmin or the ones with the Prez.
- Now go after the Comedy Bomb (Poison) in the same manner.
- It'll take a while and if he uses the poison/fire attack swarm the Yellows together or keep attacking if its electricity.
- Next get the Flare Cannon (Fire) then the ever so easy Shock Therapist (Electricity).
- If you have some of that Red Ultra-Spicy Spray (D-Pad Down) use it cuz it's really helpful and useful here.

For Gatling Groinks, their tailfin is special, and if you can get a pikmin onto the tailfin and destroy it, it should disable the Groink's attacks!*




*If this doesn't work, sue Olimar, not me. This information is in the Piklopedia that Olimar writes.

Good tip - you're all about suing lately aren't ya?!

Pretty much yeah. I started it the other day. I threatened to sue the school canteen because one of their salad rolls gave my friend food poisoning, but he's such a guts, maybe he just got indigestion.
