It is possible to immobilize the enemy by overwhelming it with Pikmin. This causes it to shoot out of the ground and lie on the floor for short while, leaving it vulnerable to further assaults. The best way to perform this is to use the swarm control that has the Pikmin rush towards the enemy once locked on (Throwing Pikmin doesn't work well here; if you can't get enough Pikmin to attack it at once, it will simply shake them off). Be sure to get very close to it before doing this. Otherwise, the shifting sand will make the Pikmin lose their target and stop halfway towards it, leaving them under idle status and highly vulnerable to getting buried under sandballs. | It is possible to immobilize the enemy by overwhelming it with Pikmin.

[[Bomb Rock]]s can also be thrown into the creatures mouth whilst it is creating a vortex to cause damage.

This also causes it to jump out of the sand, which thus makes it the only of getting your Pikmin army to safety should you and your army be caught in its deep wall sinkhole. Therefore, it's highly recommended that you harvest all the bomb rocks in the arena before starting the fight. When the swarm control is used, Pikmin holding Bomb rocks will gather in their own group away from the action and when a Pikmin with a bomb rock is thrown into the creature's sinkhole, it'll drop the rock and run out of the hole without even needing to be whistled. This means that there's almost no drawbacks in getting the Bomb rocks early. | ||
Upon defeat, it expels another cellphone, ableit more modern in appearance than the one dropped by the [[Armored Mawdad]], and a relatively small watermelon, which bursts into smaller pieces after being expelled. | Upon defeat, it expels another cellphone, ableit more modern in appearance than the one dropped by the [[Armored Mawdad]], and a relatively small watermelon, which bursts into smaller pieces after being expelled. | ||
