The Foolix can be fought in one of two ways: the first is to get behind it and have Oatchi or at least 15 Pikmin pull on its tail when it extends through its cytoplasm, which will cause its nucleus to burst out of its membrane and leave it vulnerable  until it can reform its cytoplasm. Using [[Ice Pikmin]] after its out of the goo will freeze it before it can recover. A bomb rock will also cause the Foolix to burst if it is engulfed.

A bomb rock will also cause the Foolix to burst if it is engulfed.
 
Alternatively, Ice Pikmin can be used to freeze and shatter the Foolix for the same effect if it engulfs them, although this must be done quickly to avoid Pikmin losses since any Pikmin it has engulfed will be trapped inside it. With 100 Pikmin, the Foolix freezes in about one second, and Oatchi's Rush can instantly break it. By freezing the Foolix after the break, it's possible to defeat in two cycles without Spicy Spray.


A single-cycle defeat without spicy spray is also possible with the assitance of [[Rock Pikmin]] in combination with Ice Pikmin (obtainable from the [[Kingdom of Beasts]]). First, get the nucleus out of the cytoplasm either through pulling the tail or freezing it with Ice Pikmin, pulling the tail is faster but it scatters the Pikmin used for it. Simply rush the boss repeatedly with Rock Pikmin, making sure the Ice Pikmin stay latched onto the nucleus. Since Rock Pikmin ignore the defense boost granted to frozen enemies when rushed, 30 Rock Pikmin take around 3 rushes to defeat the boss, taking a third of the health bar each time.

{{transcript|A member of the Goolix family, this primitive life-form is made up of a single cell, which is quite odd given its size.

If the nucleus is removed, its soft body loses all structure and splatters. But as long as the nucleus is still alive, the Foolix can return to its original form.

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
It has a gelatinous body with a single star-shaped nucleus with a fin-like flagellum. In spite of its huge body, it is a primitive life-form made up of a single cell.
 
Feature #1: Mimicry
 
:It ambushes its prey by mimicking nectar.
:(Image text: "When approached, it suddenly grows to a gigantic size and feeds on prey by taking it into its body, which contains digestive juices")
 
Feature #2: Gelatinous body
 
:It moves by stretching and contracting its body and using its fin-like flagellum.
:(Image text:
:*"If the nucleus is removed from the body, the body splatters"
:*"After a while, the droplets gather and it returns to its original form")

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Freezing a Foolix while a [[bomb rock]] is engulfed will disarm the bomb. When the ice is broken, the bomb rock will be dropped next to the now-exposed nucleus. Assuming that no leaders intervene, the Foolix will inadvertently pull in and rearm the same bomb rock during its reformation process; the bomb will then explode and burst the cytoplasm again.
*Freezing Foolix while a [[bomb rock]] is engulfed will deactivate it. When the ice is broken, the bomb rocks will be dropped next to the nucleus. Upon reforming, the bomb rock will reactivate, bursting the cytroplasm.
