Due to their speed when flying away, these enemies are hard to combat. It is possible to throw Pikmin at it while it is moving, but hard. Instead, lure it into attacking, and while it is busy inhaling air, quickly get under it and bombard it with Pikmin. If you threw enough of them, it will eventually fall. [[Group move|Swarm]] or [[charge]] it, and it should be dead in a few seconds. If there are other enemies nearby and you can afford to leave a distraction, keep the Puffy Blowhog busy while you clear out the other enemies, so that the fight with the flying beast will be easier. | Due to their speed when flying away, these enemies are hard to combat.

In ''Pikmin'', it moves in the air much faster, making a head-on ambush nearly impossible unless the enemy is cornered | In ''Pikmin'', it moves in the air much faster, making a head-on ambush nearly impossible unless the enemy is cornered. If it does blow Pikmin away, they can fly incredible distances, so check the radar to see if any non-Blue Pikmin have landed in the water, and if not, continue the assault. | ||
In ''Pikmin 2'', Purple Pikmin are immune to the knockback of the Puffy Blowhog, as are leaders if the [[Repugnant Appendage]] has been collected. With both, the Puffy Blowhog becomes harmless. It's weaker than in ''Pikmin'', and a single [[Purple Pikmin]] is enough to make it fall. Its breath is also less effective, and cannot wither Pikmin flowers. It is found only in caves, often with many [[gate]]s, so it can be a problem to hit when it is behind one. Use Purple Pikmin to take down the wall it guards, then move in for an assault. | In ''Pikmin 2'', Purple Pikmin are immune to the knockback of the Puffy Blowhog, as are leaders if the [[Repugnant Appendage]] has been collected.
