===Dalmo's Notes===

{{transcript|When I see this blazing beastie, I get a rush of excitement. It's easy to lose track of time while staring fixated at the flame-enshrouded form of the Fiery Bulblax. It's appearance brings to mind ancient landscapes from an era before our earliest ancestors!|block=y}}

===Pikmin===

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.

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.

===Leaders===

It is possible to kill a Fiery Bulblax with leaders, but without the [[Scorch Guard]] upgrade they are in overwhelming danger of getting burned. And even with that upgrade and the [[Rocket Fist]], the task takes so long that it isn't recommended unless you are in a [[cave]], without a time limit. But if you are to beat the Bulblax with just leaders, simply punch the creature and dodge its bites, as with other Grub-dogs.
