Red Pikmin are the most obvious choice to fight a Titan Blowhog, due to their immunity to fire and higher attack power. In an emergency, other types can be used, so long as you are quick on the whistle to save any that are ignited. Small squads of Ice Pikmin should be avoided, as, apart from their lower attack power, they will quickly burn to death if ignited. However, significantly larger squads can potentially freeze it, allowing for one to deal a lot of damage as it is frozen. Titan Blowhogs are sometimes fought in areas where they can potentially buck Pikmin off the map and into the void: To avoid Pikmin falling to their deaths, try to steer the Blowhog to look towards the platforms the cave is made of, and be prepared to disengage should the Blowhog start turning towards the void. | Red Pikmin are the most obvious choice to fight a Titan Blowhog, due to their immunity to fire and higher attack power.

However, significantly larger squads can potentially freeze it, allowing for one to deal a lot of damage as it is frozen. Titan Blowhogs are sometimes fought in areas where they can potentially buck or blow Pikmin off the map and into the void: To avoid Pikmin falling to their deaths, try to steer the Blowhog to look towards the platforms the cave is made of, and be prepared to disengage should the Blowhog start turning towards the void. Ironically, when fought in an arena like this, pikmin afflicted by burning will actually be immune to the knockback typically caused by the beast's flame breath. This can arguably make none-red Pikmin the safer option if the player is savvy with their whistle. The [[Power Whistle]] upgrade especially helps with this. It should be noted that [[Glow Pikmin]] are entirely immune to both fire and deaths caused by falling into a [[pit]]. | ||
Otherwise, Titan Blowhogs are fought very similarly to all other Blowhogs: Throw Pikmin onto its body (or [[Rush]] into it while riding [[Oatchi]]), then whistle them off before it can buck them, repeating the process until the Blowhog dies. | Otherwise, Titan Blowhogs are fought very similarly to all other Blowhogs: Throw Pikmin onto its body (or [[Rush]] into it while riding [[Oatchi]]), then whistle them off before it can buck them, repeating the process until the Blowhog dies. | ||
