okay, i'm not that really good at remembering the enemies scientific names, but you guys should know what i'm talkin about. this has got to be one of the most annoying and unpredictable enemies of the game. I've seen it several times wlk off the edge of the dungeon stage (when i'm in the underground pipeage area), i can't tell how its attack system works (sometimes it kills my pikmin and sometimes it dosn't), and i can't understand wether or not throwing my pikmin on its tail does anything. can you guys shed some light/comments on these?

The blasts only kill the Pikmin if it's a direct hit. Otherwise it'll just toss the Pikmin around with the shockwaves. You can throw Pikmin on the tail, but it shakes the Pikmin off when it loses a quarter of its health (or there's nothing to shoot at).

Best idea to kill a mobile one is to take only 5-10 Pikmin to present a small target area and use some sort of decoy to draw fire (it shoots at the closest target). If all else fails hit it with a bunch of purple Pikmin or use your sprays.

For the stationsary ones that are on top of those tower things take a small group of 10-20 yellow Pikmin and get really close to the tower. It generally hits the edge of the tower or overshoots your Pikmin when you do this. And obviously whistle for your Pikmin when they're shaken off. Easy kill.

normally i'll lure them in and then charge them so they miss, or i throw purple pikmin on them. And when they are on the towers, i potion up my yellows, run around, then i run up the platform and toss'em. But they're still anoying causethey knock my pikmin into the water and regenerate.

Get about 50/40 purple pikmin, get behind him, and throw them as fast as you can. He'll die in a few seconds. I hate those things to they are annoying! Btw, hope this helps~

I try to avoid the Gatling Groink at all costs, or if i have no choice, i Petrify it with Ultra Bitter Spray. No regenerating for you!

When i see one i throw a bunch of purples at random around it the shockwave created by the purples will most likely stun it leaving it open for death! Hope it helps!

For the ones on the tower, I try to get them in a angle to where they get stuck from a glitch then take it out.

i find thats its most effective to surround them with a small group that will distract him while i toss reds onto his back/tail, and jsut recall and toss whenever he recalls.
