[[Rock Pikmin]] will kill an Arachnode in just three hits. Though it is not grounded, the Arachnode does not count as an airborne enemy, and Winged Pikmin deal little damage, so using them is only recommended if no Rock Pikmin are present and the Winged group is rather large. The Arachnorb can eat Pikmin from either side of the web, yet can only be attacked from the side it is on with non-Rock Pikmin; Rock Pikmin can attack it from both sides.
[[Rock Pikmin]] will kill an Arachnode in just three hits, and can hit the Arachnode from either side of its web. Other Pikmin types can only attack the Arachnode on the side in which it rests, and they can get stuck if the Arachnode is too high or if they are thrown from too close to the web. Winged Pikmin are best for getting an Arachnode down from a high point in its web since they can [[charge]] at it, after which point other, stronger Pikmin can be employed. If Winged Pikmin are not available, any Pikmin can latch on to a low-resting Arachnode with a careful throw, and [[Yellow Pikmin]] can usually reach a high-resting one. As a last resort, a Pikmin or a leader can be thrown into the web to bait the Arachnode into a vulnerable position.
 
Besides using Winged Pikmin, the primary way to defeat an Arachnode is to [[throw]] any other kind of Pikmin at it. If it is too high up for regular Pikmin to be tossed, [[Yellow Pikmin]] may be used due to their higher throw arc. Otherwise, you should throw another Pikmin or leader at the web first, preferably near the bottom. After detecting prey in the web, the creature will try to eat the immobilized Pikmin or leader. At this time, the enemy should be standing still and close enough for you to safely throw Pikmin at it.
