Naturally, Red Pikmin are best to fight this creature due to their immunity to fire. Beat it as if it were a standard [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]], by peppering its back with a group of 50 or so reds. Fiery Bulblaxes have high [[HP]] for a grub-dog and have a fierce shake to fend off Pikmin. An [[ultra-spicy spray]] may be desirable for killing it before it can shake off attackers. Swarming a sleeping Fiery Bulblax with 50 or more Red Pikmin can also kill it quickly, but this is riskier since not all Pikmin will latch on to the beast, leaving them more vulnerable. [[Ultra-bitter spray]]s are also effective, but it should be noted the Bulblax's fire continues even while the creature is petrified. | Naturally, Red Pikmin are best to fight this creature due to their immunity to fire.

Sometimes a Fiery Bulblax can only be fought with Blue Pikmin, for example in the [[Valley of Repose]] where one sleeps across a small lake. While a Fiery Bulblax is in the water, its flames are extinguished. So lure the Bulblax into the water until it reaches the end of its territory, then charge at it. Since water does not deter the Fiery Bulblax from attacking, it can be tricky to keep it in water without risking Pikmin, so an ultra-bitter spray is recommended here. | Sometimes a Fiery Bulblax can only be fought with Blue Pikmin, for example in the [[Valley of Repose]] where one sleeps across a small lake.

In {{p2}} the foe will re-ignite the moment it leaves the water, but in {{p4}} it will remain extinguished until it prepares to go back to sleep, giving a much longer window of time to attack. | ||
If Red or Blue Pikmin are scarce in these situations, you can also throw [[Purple Pikmin]], since they will each cause it damage through their smash and have a chance of stunning it. The Purple Pikmin will either be ignited by the flames or—if the Bulblax is lured in water—risk drowning, so this dangerous method must be done hastily if attempted at all. | If Red or Blue Pikmin are scarce in these situations, you can also throw [[Purple Pikmin]], since they will each cause it damage through their smash and have a chance of stunning it.
