In ''Pikmin 2'', if a Waterwraith lands on top of a treasure, it will look like it's bouncing in the air. In some rare cases, it may slam onto the ground as it lands, possibly triggering its vulnerable status, making it possible to damage it before floor 5.{{cite youtube|eNvN_HIDHEs|demonstrating the Waterwraith becoming vulnerable|m=5|s=40}}

In ''Pikmin 4'', it can be [[ice|frozen]] with an [[ice blast]] or [[Ice Pikmin]], and can be stunned with a [[lightning shock]], but it will break free almost instantly. The player can make use of the fact that frozen enemies instantly lose all their [[health]] if they are mid-air and fall, and that a [[mine]]'s explosion can damage a frozen Waterwraith. With careful positioning and timing, the player can prepare a mine and an ice blast, then throw another ice blast while directly in front of the creature as Oatchi. This will cause the Waterwraith to instantly freeze, and since it just started running over Oatchi, it will be slightly airborne. The fall will make it lose all its health, meaning its rollers will be destroyed, and then the first ice blast and mine will freeze and kill it.{{cite youtube|Jir9pxB9WSA|of the Waterwraith being killed without any Pikmin, by use of ice blasts and mines|published={{date|28|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|28|September|2023}}|h=1|m=5|s=8}}{{cite youtube|jUaBiMyv9U8|of the Waterwraith losing its rollers while frozen|published={{date|3|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}}}
In ''Pikmin 4'', it can be [[ice|frozen]] with an [[ice blast]] or [[Ice Pikmin]], and can be stunned with a [[lightning shock]], but it will break free almost instantly. The player can however make use of the fact that frozen enemies instantly lose all their [[health]] if they are mid-air and fall. With careful positioning and timing, the player can prepare a mine and an ice blast, then throw another ice blast while directly in front of the creature as Oatchi. This will cause the Waterwraith to instantly freeze, and since it just started running over Oatchi's mine, it will be slightly airborne. The fall will make it lose all its health, meaning its rollers will be destroyed. After this it jolts backwards and if it lands on top of the mine and the first ice blast freezes it, it may again fall off the mine and instantly die.{{cite youtube|Jir9pxB9WSA|of the Waterwraith being killed without any Pikmin, by use of ice blasts and mines|published={{date|28|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|28|September|2023}}|h=1|m=5|s=8}}{{cite youtube|jUaBiMyv9U8|of the Waterwraith losing its rollers while frozen|published={{date|3|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}}}{{cite youtube|1ujNXp1wpgo|explaining how the process works|published={{date|20|October|2023}}|retrieved={{date|20|October|2023}}}}
