Sovereign Bulblax: Difference between revisions

Using a large squad of high-damaging Pikmin, either [[Red Pikmin]] and/or [[Purple Pikmin]], and charging them all onto the Bulblax's face using Oatchi's rush ability can deal a lot of damage very quickly. The main issue with this is the fact that the Sovereign Bulblax is much larger than other enemies and it can be hard to correctly throw all Pikmin in the player's squad onto its face. Players must also be careful of where they throw their Pikmin, as if they throw them into the Bulblax's mouth, and it does its tongue attack, a lot of the Pikmin will instantly be stuck to their tongue and will be eaten. The easiest method of dealing with a Sovereign Bulblax is by tricking it into eating a Bomb Rock, Ice Blast, or something else explosive in the same fashion as its smaller counterpart providing ample opportunity to attack it without fear of retaliation. Be aware that once it recovers from this stunned state, however, it's very likely it will follow up by either bellowing out and scattering your Pikmin or by leaping into the air. As soon as it begins to recover, take the chance to whistle your Pikmin back to avoid this from becoming an issue. You can eliminate this possibility if your squad is large enough by using an [[Ultra-spicy spray]] prior to Rushing the Bulblax, which will usually go down if stunned by a Bomb Rock.

* The name Sovereign Bulblax can be attributed to the large Emperor Bulblax encountered in ''Pikmin'', as it is larger with tall vegetation on its back, as well as lacking pack behavior and crushing prey with leaps. The Emperor Bulblax from [[Hey! Pikmin]] could also potentially count as one.
