These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' or a single [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''. This renders it susceptible to further attack. [[ultra-bitter spray]]s may also be used to freeze it in mid-air, causing it to drop to the ground, which is arguably easier, but of course produces no corpse, and may be considered a waste of sprays.

Should the enemy throw a [[Yellow Pikmin]] that is holding a [[bomb-rock]], the bomb-rock will explode, killing the Yellow Pikmin, all Pikmin caught in the blast, and likely itself, too. Although the creature is not as interested in killing Pikmin as much as it is chucking them, it may end up throwing a Pikmin at a hazard.

In ''Pikmin 3'', it will carry the bomb rock and not the Pikmin, and throwing the bomb-rock merely activates it instead of causing an immediate explosion.

In ''Pikmin'', it can and will grab Pikmin from the leader's hand, if [[Captain Olimar|the captain]] is holding on to it before [[throw]]ing, but in ''Pikmin 2'', it will ignore any held Pikmin; it can still steal it from the hand if it begun swooping prior to the grab, however. In ''Pikmin 3'', every time it dives, it randomly chooses to catch Pikmin or leaders, and if it chooses the former, it will never succeed in grabbing a held Pikmin.
