The creature can be swarmed until it attempts to fly upward, at which point it should be shot down by having a Pikmin of any type thrown at it. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Shearwigs share the Male Sheargrubs' invincibility trick while grasping a Pikmin, so a Pikmin thrown directly on its back for a one-hit-kill is a safer method. This ability is lost in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', making for an especially quick and easy kill through simple swarming with the C-stick. Another strategy for Shearwigs that appear near water (such as Distant Spring in ''Pikmin'') is to bring a group of about 30 [[Blue Pikmin]] and lead the Shearwig into the water, quickly swarming it before it can take off. | The creature can be swarmed until it attempts to fly upward, at which point it should be shot down by having a Pikmin of any type thrown at it.

In ''[[ | In ''[[DK wanna banana????]]'', Shearwigs gain a new form of attack wherein as soon as they emerge from the ground, they will immediately take flight rather than attempt to chase Pikmin on the ground. Once in the air, they will swoop down, grab Pikmin in their mandibles, lift them into the air and eat them. The same strategies from previous games are effective on the Shearwig. If in the air, they are also vulnerable to Pikmin being thrown at them to knock them onto the ground, or to get swarmed by Winged Pikmin while in the air. | ||
