This beast can be difficult to defeat in a timely manner, but with the right strategy, can be overcome without losing any Pikmin. The Bloyster will hunt your active captain and will change its target accordingly if you switch. However, there is a slight delay between the time it stops chasing one captain and starts on the other. Use this to your advantage by placing each captain on either side of the beast. Lure it towards one, then switch with (Y) and quickly toss Pikmin onto its vulnerable gill. Call them back when the Bloyster turns to face you, then repeat. | This beast can be difficult to defeat in a timely manner, but with the right strategy, can be overcome without losing any Pikmin.

Another way to deal with this boss is to attack it with a single group of Pikmin led by both captains. Because it pauses slightly in order to track the leading captain, the idea is to keep switching control of your captains every time it turns your active captain's color. In this way, it is very easy to simply walk past it, step behind it and throw Pikmin at it's gill without trouble. Be sure to call back any Pikmin that get shaken of their target. | Another way to deal with this boss is to attack it with a single group of Pikmin led by both | ||

It is possible to tap Y as fast as you can it will confuse the bloyster. After confused, it is recommended that you petrify it then use an Ultra-Spicy Spray. The boss should go down no problem. | It is possible to tap Y as fast as you can it will confuse the bloyster. After confused, it is recommended that you petrify it then use an Ultra-Spicy Spray.

If the Bloyster's gill is proving too difficult to reach, [[Purple Pikmin]] can simply be thrown onto its back which will deal damage upon impact and have a chance of stunning the creature, preventing it from fighting back. A large group of Purples is recommended, for if the Bloyster is not constantly kept subdued, it can quickly turn and gobble up the player's Pikmin. | If the Bloyster's gill is proving too difficult to reach, [[Purple Pikmin]] can simply be thrown onto its back which will deal damage upon impact and have a chance of stunning the creature, preventing it from fighting back.

g army, confront the Ranging Bloyster, spray it and then toss Pikmin onto its back. When it unfreezes, simply spray it again, and any Pikmin that were thrown off will leap back on it to continue the assault. Note that this can take multiple ultra bitter sprays and the Pikmin will likely revert back to leaf Pikmin when thrown off, but is a far safer method. | |||
As a last resort, [[White Pikmin]] can be fed to the Bloyster, each dealing heavy damage when eaten. To ensure minimal Pikmin loss, Ultra-spicy spray at least 4 White Pikmin. | As a last resort, [[White Pikmin]] can be fed to the Bloyster, each dealing heavy damage when eaten.
