In this game, the Smoky Progg has gained some new attacks. It may spit a glowing red projectile that creates a [[gloom]] wave upon landing, which has the same instant-kill properties as the smoke surrounding the creature. It may also roar loudly to send the Pikmin and [[Oatchi]] into a panic, possibly causing them to run directly into its gloom. | In this game, the Smoky Progg has gained some new attacks.

In [[night expedition]]s, the Smoky Progg's egg can and should be destroyed before it hatches, | In [[night expedition]]s, the Smoky Progg's egg can and should be destroyed before it hatches, with some expeditions even containing two eggs. Glow pellets will be awarded no matter how it's defeated, and fighting it after it hatches directly runs the risk of allowing other creatures an opportunity to attack an undefended [[Lumiknoll]], as it has quite a lot of health. Underground in the [[Cavern for a King]], the egg will begin to crack and hatch immediately upon approaching it. | ||
The fight is fairly straightforward when the Smoky Progg is isolated or is focused on attacking a Lumiknoll. Throw Pikmin at its front, and prepare to call them back once they have been shaken off. Riding on Oatchi is an effective way to avoid the wave attack, as he can [[jump]] over it. However, if the creature roars, Oatchi will throw the [[Pikmin 4 player character|leader]] off his back, making it hard to gather the [[panic]]king Pikmin quickly. For this reason, dismounting just before it does this attack is a good strategy, as is running out of the range of the panic effect or simply not using Oatchi at all. It is safe to [[rush]] the front of this creature, which can be used to deal a large amount of damage quickly so long as the Pikmin are called back before it roars. As with most enemies, bomb rocks are an effective way to deal with this creature safely, but it has enough health to allow it to survive several bomb rock explosions before dying. | The fight is fairly straightforward when the Smoky Progg is isolated or is focused on attacking a Lumiknoll.

In ''Pikmin 4'', [[Glitches_in_Pikmin_4#Wayward_Moon_duplication|due to the odd way the egg functions]], it can continue to drop Wayward Moons even after it has already been collected, allowing for the cave (and, by extension, the [[Primordial Thicket]]) to achieve an over 100% completion. | |||
