There is a strategy for them that is similar to that of the [[Ranging Bloyster]]. They are capable of shooting mortars from retractable cannons, giving them a far range of attack. Their tough shield makes it hard to attack them from the front, and there are 2 here. One walking about, and the other on a pillar. The walking one should chase the active captain, so they can be defeated more easily with this tactic: The captains need to be separated. One of them should have all Pikmin, and the one without any should lure the creature over to the one with all Pikmin. When the captains are switched, the game should automatically move the idle captain away. The captain that is now active and has all Pikmin can attack the enemy from behind. Once defeated, the Groink needs to be carried back to the pod, as it can regenerate its life energy, making it necessary to defeat it again. This can also be bypassed when it is defeated while [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]. For the other one on the pillar, the tactic can be repeated. After these battles, the [[Indomitable CPU]], the [[Furious Adhesive]] and the [[Thirst Activator]] need to be collected. One of the treasures may be in a corner, and when this one is picked up, bomb-rocks are likely to fall from the sky. Make sure to be especially cautious collecting treasures here. | ||
Another way to defeat the Gatling Groinks is to take a lone captain and run around behind them tapping A, easily jabbing them to low [[HP|health]]. Then you can either bring Pikmin to finish the job or finish it off yourself and send Pikmin in to carry it away. | Another way to defeat the Gatling Groinks is to take a lone captain and run around behind them tapping A, easily jabbing them to low [[HP|health]].

This is also an excellent cave to get [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]]. At least 21 of any Pikmin type other than White or Purple should be brought along into the cave. On the third sublevel there will be a lone [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]. Should it not be there, resetting the game and reloading the level should make it appear eventually. The next sublevel spawns three Ivory Candypops. On the eighth sublevel there will be three [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s and two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s. | This is also an excellent cave to get [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]].

By using the Queen | By using the Queen Candypops, the new Pikmin generated can be used for the Violet Candypops. The eggs scattered about the level will provide nectar for the leaf and bud Pikmin. The cave can then be exited via the geyser. This process can be repeated infinitely, as the Candypops are not limited to a certain number of White or Purple Pikmin total. | ||
