The Slooch is easy prey for [[Red Pikmin]]. Due to the creature's low speed and incredibly weak defense, you can take it out with ease with only a few Red Pikmin. It may try to shake them off, but it will likely not succeed in this provided you have at least five Pikmin on the creature, and if you swarm it with a group of 10 or more, it will likely not even be able to begin this animation. Provided you have Red Pikmin with you, its best to defeat any Pyroclasmic Slooch the first time you see it, as overlooking it may result in it catching a few Pikmin as you pass by or its fire trail later harming Pikmin on their way back to the [[Onion]]. | The Slooch is easy prey for [[Red Pikmin]].

Other types of Pikmin [[#Glitch|can attack the creature]] if they latch on to some points of its body. [[Rock Pikmin]] will also cause impact damage if thrown at it, however they must be [[Whistle|called back]] before burning to death. | Other types of Pikmin [[#Glitch|can actually attack the creature]] if they latch on to some points of its body.

If done correctly, you can defeat a Pyroclasmic Slooch relatively quickly with only leaders, due to its few hit points. | ||
Also, if a Slooch goes in some [[water]] (for example, the puddles near the [[bamboo gate]] in the [[Distant Tundra]]), its fire will go out, allowing all Pikmin types to attack it more easily. In ''Pikmin 3'' only, they will not regain their flame without touching another fire hazard (which includes other on-fire Pyroclasmic Slooches); this is not true in ''Pikmin 4'', | Also, if a Slooch goes in some [[water]] (for example, the puddles near the [[bamboo gate]] in the [[Distant Tundra]]), its fire will go out, allowing all Pikmin types to attack it more easily. In ''Pikmin 3'' only, they will not regain their flame without touching another fire hazard (which includes other on-fire Pyroclasmic Slooches); this is not true in ''Pikmin 4'', and the creature will reignite itself after a few seconds of extinguishment. Touching a [[fire geyser]] will restore its fire. | ||
