If you can't seem to land a successful charge attack, flank the Burrowing Snagret's side and toss your Pikmin directly onto the creature's head. This method makes it fairly difficult to keep your squad out of harm's way, but it does allow you to deal reliable damage for the duration of the battle.|block=y}}

==Strategy==

{{guide}}

In ''Pikmin'', they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if [[throw]]n at the head, as they have very high [[health]] and are quite large. Its striking speed will also allow it to eat some Pikmin and burrow back into the ground before any significant damage is done. When trying to defeat it in the first game, the best strategy is to throw Red Pikmin at its head while it's emerging from the ground as fast as you can, then whistling in your Pikmin right before it shakes them off to prevent them being eaten. Another effective, but risky way is to [[swarm]] the head in hopes of making the Burrowing Snagret retreat underground.

In ''Pikmin 2'', defeating one is an easier task because of its lower health; even so, it remains a good idea to use [[Purple Pikmin]]. It is easy to take advantage of the fact that sometimes, the beast will not fully emerge from the ground, getting stuck for some time. It is best to attack the Snagret then, as it is possible to defeat it without losing any Pikmin. With quick and accurate throwing, however, this is not necessary to secure the battle. Throw many Pikmin at its head as soon as possible and the Snagret should die before managing to swallow any of the Pikmin that it may have snatched up from the ground. In ''Pikmin 2'', attacks to the body will only cause 10% normal damage. Statistically, both in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', every time the creature emerges it has a 40% chance of getting stuck.<ref>Local Parameter <code>{s10}</code> in <code>/dataDir/bosses/snake/parms.bin</code>, in ''Pikmin''</ref> That said, a Burrowing Snagret will never get stuck the first time of the day that it unburrows, in ''Pikmin''.

It is not possible to defeat the Burrowing Snagret with [[leader]]s alone.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Assist Trophy===

The Burrowing Snagret appears in {{ssbu}} as an Assist Trophy, in its ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' design. When summoned, it will emerge from the floor (even go-through platforms) near an opponent, and will idle for a second before unleashing three quick stabs towards the opponent. It can peck at the ground or the air. It will then bury back down and reemerge elsewhere, repeating the process. Like other Assist Trophies, it can be KO'd if it takes enough damage. It makes the Burrowing Snagret death sound from ''Pikmin'' when it emerges, and also when it is KO'd.{{cite youtube|AFHgO8rMzcg?|of Olimar's introduction to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', demonstrating the Snagret Assist Trophy|s=10}}

==Trivia==

*The Burrowing Snagret can be seen in a pre-release [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x245evHAhQ video] of ''Pikmin'', where it appears to have a light or white body. This most likely originates from its [[Pikipedia:Japanese#Japanese names and common names|Japanese name]] which means "White-tailed snake crow".

*In the ''Super Smash Bros. series'', the Burrowing Snagret trophies contain a few [[mistake]]s.

**The ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' trophy states that no one has ever seen a Burrowing Snagret's tail before. However, Olimar states in the Piklopedia that the Burrowing Snagret and Snarrow can both be distinguished by the markings on their tails, implying that Olimar has seen its full body, or at least its tail. ''Pikmin 3'' further confuses the matter by showing that the Snarget has no tail, as seen by defeating it.

**The ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' trophy erroneously omits ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' from the list of games. The ''Pikmin'' trophies in ''Smash 4'' always list the first two games, except for this one. In addition, the Snagret is more common in ''Pikmin 2'' compared to ''Pikmin 3'', especially considering it appears the most in the second game's story mode, and only once in the third game's. This makes the ''Pikmin 2'' omission a mystery.

**In the US [[Region|version]] of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the description claims that the creature belongs to the "avian" family, instead of the [[snavian family]].

**If one only counts story mode, then this title is lost in ''Pikmin 3'', as it is only encountered once. It is also fought in the {{p3d}} [[Side Stories]] mode once.

*The [[enemy reel]] [[Mistake|mistakenly]] states that its body is lined with feathers.

*It is the only boss that appears in every mainline ''Pikmin'' game.

*In ''Pikmin 2'', when the creature dies, its body shrinks while the head remains the same size. With the closest [[camera|zoom]] settings, it is possible to see its small body in-game. The same happens with the [[Pileated Snagret]], [[Toady Bloyster]], and [[Ranging Bloyster]].
