Fiery Bulblax: Difference between revisions

Obviously, red Pikmin are desirable due to the flames. Beat it the way you'd beat a standard [[Red Bulborb]], by peppering its back with reds. Fiery Bulblaxes have high health for a grub-dog and can sometimes attack after shaking your Pikmin off. Fiery Bulblaxes can also eat Pikmin much faster than a normal Bulborb can. An [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]] may be desirable for killing it effectively and without danger.

However, sometimes a Fiery Bulblax must be fought with Blue Pikmin, such as the lone one at the [[Valley of Repose]]. To kill it here, lure it into the water. The flames on its back will go out, but it will soon realize this, turn around, and head for dry land. During that time its primary urge will be to leave the water and re-ignite, so in this short space of time your Pikmin will be safe from attack. Since repeatedly throwing blues at it puts them at high risk of being eaten, simply use an [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]] and beat it. Note that spraying a Fiery Bulblax that has not been extinguished will still have flames coming out of its back.

A final means of defeating this beast uses the power of purple Pikmin: throw many on together, and each will deal some damage before bursting into flames. Save them and, while the Fiery Bulblax is still stunned, attack again. This eliminates the need for Blue or Red Pikmin.
