The Porquillion cannot be harmed while its spikes are extended, but any quadrant of its body that it has launched the spikes from will remain vulnerable until the spikes grow back. As it is not especially fast, it can be dispatched with ease by [[rush]]ing at the exposed parts. In later caves, it can be fought with [[Rock Pikmin]], which are immune to its attacks, though this is slower than using other Pikmin who can latch on due to the Porquillion's tendancy to run away when Rock pikmin chase them during a charge or rebound.
The Porquillion cannot be harmed while its spikes are extended, but any quadrant of its body that it has launched the spikes from will remain vulnerable until the spikes grow back. As it is not especially fast, it can be dispatched with ease by [[rush]]ing at the exposed parts. In later caves, it can be fought with [[Rock Pikmin]], which are immune to its attacks, though this is slower than using stronger Pikmin.
 
To extend the time in which the Porquillion is vulnerable, it could be wise to use [[Ice Pikmin]] or items such as the [[Ice Blast]] or [[Lightning Shock]] to temporarily stun the beast.
 
During refights with the Porquillion in the Hero's Hideaway in which it is elevated on a tower that makes it impossible to rush or charge, it could be wise to instead use [[Winged Pikmin]] who can charge the Porquillion and can also be more swiftly called back. With Ultra-Spicy Spray and a small squad of Winged Pikmin (around 30 should do, but less can be used if you don't mind an extended fight) wait for the enemy to launch its first volley of spikes, then charge Winged Pikmin towards the vulnerable segment. Because of Winged Pikmin's homing ability, most of them should be able to latch onto the enemy, and if they don't they will typically be shaken off into a spot in which they are not in danger of being hit by the spikes. Simply repeatedly charge the Winged Pikmin if they fail to defeat the enemy in time, being careful to avoid the spikes. Using this method, the enemy should be swiftly defeated.
 
If you would prefer not to use Winged Pikmin, [[Purple Pikmin]] are the next best choice. Their high levels of impact damage mean they deal the best damage when thrown, which is what is required to beat this creature when it is elevated. Take care, however, as their slow speed makes it more difficult to call them back when in harms way.
