Ice Pikmin should be used to defeat Blizzarding Blowhogs due to their resistance to ice, but other Pikmin can be used if care is used and you're quick to whistle any frozen Pikmin. To avoid Pikmin falling to their deaths, try to steer the Blowhog to look towards the platforms the cave is made of, this will reduce the chances of Pikmin being thrown off the map. The best way to attack the Blizzarding Blowhog is constantly throw Pikmin at its body until it throws them forward. Whistle all your Pikmin and repeat until the Blowhog is defeated. Due to the ice, acquiring the [[Thermal Defense]], for both the player and [[Oatchi]], from [[Russ]] will help greatly as both your character and Oatchi will be resistant to freezing.

An alternative to using Ice Pikmin is to instead use Purple Pikmin, while they are not immune to ice, they are immune to the wind nockback the Blizzarding Blowhog creates. This can be useful in the metal and mud-laden caves in which this enemy appears, since they tend to knock pikmin into bottomless swamps or the abyss. The most effective way to use Purple Pikmin against this enemy is to throw them due to Purple Pikmin's additional impact damage.
