''When you encounter a Puckering Blinnow, use a squad of Blue Pikmin to charge the creature. When a Puckering Blinnow skewers one of your Pikmin, make that enemy your primary target – if you're lucky, at least part of your squad will automatically follow the enemies as it retreats. A skewered Pikmin can survive for a few seconds. Move quickly to defeat a Puckering Blinnow before its victim succumbs to its injuries.''" | ''When you encounter a Puckering Blinnow, use a squad of Blue Pikmin to charge the creature.

Puckering Blinnows are very fast in the water, but incredibly fragile, and will die quickly if attacked by just a few [[Blue Pikmin]]. They do not go down without a fight, however, and will go into a fury if attacked, possibly even jumping over the surface of the water, or onto land, where they will flop around helplessly like a [[Wogpole]] for a short time. They can catch one Pikmin at a time and they take quite a while to eat it. | |||

The best way to defeat one is to [[charge]], or simply dismiss your [[Blue Pikmin]] onto the enemy. It will be unable to attack and will be easily overwhelmed. The Blinnow should perish quickly this way. If you use a small amount of Pikmin, it will try to jump out of the water to shake them off. It is also possible to get it to throw itself onto dry land where it can be killed very easily. | {{Subjective}} | ||
Though the Puckering Blinnow is a frail creature, it is best to not let your guard down; they can be quick at skewering your Pikmin, especially if they aren't flowered, and can force you to put up quite a chase to get them back.

Another strategy is to throw a Blue Pikmin holding a bomb rock into the center of a school of Blinnows. When it detonates, most, if not all of the Blinnows should be killed by the blast. | Another strategy is to throw a Blue Pikmin holding a bomb rock into the center of a school of Blinnows.
