Be prepared to lose a lot of Pikmin during this phase of the battle. It will actively attack Pikmin, but mainly prefers to target the leaders and attack when they are close, by [[Blunt force|skewering]] them with a rapid "needle-arm" attack. If any Pikmin aside from Rock Pikmin are in range of this attack, they will be skewered and eaten. You can use one leader as a distraction, and have another handle all the Pikmin, but this may be difficult to manage. While it is doing this attack, it is unwise to attack it head-on, as it will not be fazed by attacks, and can easily kill the Pikmin. Instead, throw just a few Pikmin at it, preferably its backside, until it tries to shake Pikmin off by twisting its body. This will cause additional plasm to fly off of its body. As it loses more and more plasm, it decreases in size; this is the key to winning the fight. | Be prepared to lose a lot of Pikmin during this phase of the battle.

If it is hit with enough Pikmin while flying, it will fall down, losing even more plasm as it hits the ground. | ||

*Strangely, when fighting the Plasm Wraith on the Defeat Bosses! [[Mission Mode]], the Koppad map can reveal an enemy marker off the map of the Formidable Oak. It is, however, unknown if there is an actual enemy off the map or if it's just a glitch. | *Strangely, when fighting the Plasm Wraith on the Defeat Bosses!

*The Plasm Wraith's Japanese name is "''Amenyuudou''", which can be a portmanteau of "amoeba" (written in katakana like "ameba"), an unicellular organism usually found in water, or "ame", which means "rain", and "''nyuudou''" which means "priest" or "monk". Its name could also be an allusion to Wanyūdō, the guardian of the gates of Hell in Japanese mythology. | *The Plasm Wraith's Japanese name is "''Amenyuudou''", which can be a portmanteau of "amoeba" (written in katakana like "ameba"), an unicellular organism usually found in water, or "ame", which means "rain", and "''nyuudou''" which means "priest" or "monk".
