In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Shearwigs gain a new form of attack wherein as soon as they emerge from the ground, they will immediately take flight rather than attempt to chase Pikmin on the ground. Once in the air, they will swoop down, grab Pikmin in their mandibles, lift them into the air and eat them. The same strategies from previous games are effective on the Shearwig. If in the air, they are also vulnerable to Pikmin being thrown at them to knock them onto the ground, or to get swarmed by [[Winged Pikmin]] while in the air. [[Rock Pikmin]] can also instantly defeat an airborne Shearwig. | In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Shearwigs gain a new form of attack wherein as soon as they emerge from the ground, they will immediately take flight rather than attempt to chase Pikmin on the ground.

The Shearwig in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' is identical to its previous iteration. [[Rock Pikmin]] will down it in one hit as they did before, and all other types will knock it out of the air if they don't land on its back mid-flight. The main distinction is their appearance in groups, both in [[caves]] and in [[night expeditions]], though this is mostly mitigated due to their low health. [[Glow Pikmin]] can take advantage of their ability to form Glowmobs to down groups of Shearwigs bundled together almost instantly. Take care to watch for any Pikmin that may get swooped away in fights, and prioritize those that do manage to pluck one away from you. | |||
