How to Kill
Swarm it until it flies upwards, then throw a Pikmin at it for the kill. It doesn't fly very high so yellows are not necessary. In Pikmin 1, Shearwigs share the Male Sheargrubs' invincibility trick while grasping a Pikmin, so throw a Pikmin on its back for a one-hit-kill if this happens. This ability is lost in Pikmin 2, making for an especially quick and easy kill.
