The Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat is an enemy in Pikmin 2. They resemble large, blue, floating jellyfish with yellow spots that float through the air. They attack the Pikmin by inhaling them and trapping them inside. The Pikmin will then be digested one by one over considerably long periods of time, but can be saved by defeating it. This creature is related to the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat.

Killing methods

A Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat.

Pikmin

It is vulnerable on all parts of its body, and has moderately low health. Purple Pikmin will automatically make this creature fall due to their weight, they are also good for defeating it, as stunning it will prevent it from getting back into air. When defeated, all undigested Pikmin will be recovered.

Captains

There are only three ways to kill a Jellyfloat without Pikmin. One way is to allow a nearby Bumbling Snitchbug to pick the captain up. If it floats over or very close to the Jellyfloat, the captain can attack the creature in midair while the Bumbling Snitchbug is holding him. Another method may be less time consuming, if the Jellyfloat is on a level with high and low lands like the Shower Room, then wait for it to drift into the lower part of the level get close to it on the highland and punch, but only if you have the Rocket Fist. The third and easiest way is to simply freeze the Jellyfloat with an Ultra-bitter spray, then punch it repeatedly as it falls to the ground.
