There are many different ways to defeat the Smoky Progg; each has different pros and cons. Captain Olimar cannot defeat this enemy using [[punch]]es. | There are many different ways to defeat the Smoky Progg; each has different pros and cons.

One method is to get a lot of Pikmin, wait until it uses its uprooting ability and becomes still, then [[throw]] Pikmin onto its face as fast as possible. Precise aiming is required so that the Pikmin do not hit an Onion or its cloud of gas. If done correctly, the Smoky Progg will be constantly shaking off Pikmin and will not be able to move, until it dies. If there are only a few Pikmin available, throw them and [[whistle]] them back just as the Progg is shaking them off. Care should be taken when whistling, so that they do not go through the gas cloud. | One method is to get a lot of Pikmin, wait until it uses its uprooting ability and becomes still, then [[throw]] Pikmin onto its face as fast as possible.

It should also be noted that the Progg regenerates its health gradually, regardless of whether it is chasing Olimar/Pikmin, or merely idling at the landing site. | |||
It is possible to take advantage of the fact that the Progg can get stuck behind an Onion's leg in battling it. After it completes its uprooting move, it can get stuck in this way from a few seconds up to several minutes. Pikmin can be tossed on its head without the enemy even being able to shake them off, and with luck, it can be killed before it frees itself from the glitch. | It is possible to take advantage of the fact that the Progg can get stuck behind an Onion's leg in battling it.

There is another exploit that can be used to your advantage. If the bridge that leads to the Massage Machine has not been built yet, lead the Progg behind the unbuilt bridge and then run away. The Progg will be stuck by the bridge, and will endlessly turn around in circles. You can then bring 100 Blue Pikmin out and attack the Smoky Progg. | There is another exploit that can be used to your advantage.
