If you're not careful, the Bloomcap Bloyster can quickly kill Pikmin, as anything that touches it's small tentacles coming out of its mouth will be eaten in seconds. It's best to get behind the Bloomcap Bloyster with [[Oatchi]] and to throw your Pikmin onto it's tail. Doing so will result in its' shell folding upwards, giving you a good opportunity to [[Charge]] it or to ram into it with Oatchi.

If you want to play it safe, feed it a [[Bomb Rock]], [[Mine]], or [[Trackonator]], two of them will kill it.
If you want to play it safe, feed it a [[Bomb Rock]], [[Mine]], or [[Trackonator]], two of them will kill it. Or use [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[Ice Blast|Ice Blasts]] which will make the Bloyster's entire body vulnerable and prevent it from hoovering up Pikmin, allowing for an easy defeat.


Curiously, the Bloomcap Bloyster will not notice you if you sneak up behind it and attack using [[Rock Pikmin]]. Another safe option is to use [[Winged Pikmin]], who are able to home in on the enemy's gill and are immune to its eating attack while airborne.
Curiously, the Bloomcap Bloyster will not notice you if you sneak up behind it and attack by throwing [[Rock Pikmin]]. Rock Pikmin can also use their sturdy headbutts to attack the bulb-like gill with a [[charge]] attack, and won't mind the shell flying upwards since they don't latch on anyway, as little as 30 Rock Pikmin can reliably defeat this beast with little assistance from the player. Another safe option is to use [[Winged Pikmin]], who are able to home in on the enemy's gill and are immune to its eating attack while airborne.
