This boss has a rather complex way to defeating it. It has four weapons which double as treasures after it's defeated; the [[Flare Cannon]], [[Shock Therapist]], [[Monster Pump]] and [[Comedy Bomb]], representing the game's four elemental [[Hazards|hazards]]. It will stomp around and act like the various [[Arachnorb]] family members in their manner of stomping, except that it doesn't crush Pikmin because it has no large "feet". After it bobs its head down, it will grab two weapons, but only use one. The color it glows and which arm it raises will indicate the weapon it will use, however. The main point is to attack the weapons. If a weapon gets damaged, it will start smoking and will behave differently when used. The weapon will break off when it receives enough damage.

The main point is to attack the weapons. If a weapon gets damaged, it will start smoking and will behave differently when used. The weapon will break off when it receives enough damage. Each weapon has 6,000 HP, and there are four weapons, so the total amount of HP for all the weapons is 24,000 HP. Despite the fact that the [[leader]]s should be immune to all hazards by the time you fight this boss, the weapons can still stun them, but do not hurt them. | ||
Note: In case the cave was entered with a mixture of all types of Pikmin, it is advisable to still only attack with Yellows. The other Pikmin should be huddled into a corner, such as behind the geyser outside the 'bowl'. If the Monster Pump is used, the captains should be switched rapidly while blowing the whistle in order to prevent any Pikmin from drowning. | Note: In case the cave was entered with a mixture of all types of Pikmin, it is advisable to still only attack with Yellows.

The Monster Pump should be destroyed first. When it is used, the Pikmin should be huddled close together and continually whistled at. Attacking the Shock Therapist to the degree that it smokes but does not fall off ensures that the enemy will use the, in this case harmless, electric attacks more often, then attacking the Monster Pump. Once the Pump has fallen off, the Flare Cannon should be attacked, then the Comedy Bomb. | The Monster Pump should be destroyed first.

Keeping the inactive captain | Keeping the inactive captain separated from the active one makes it possible to resort to the former in case the active captain is knocked down. However, although directly under the Dweevil is the most handy location to place the inactive one, he will suffer from the blasts made by the Comedy Bomb. | ||
