If charging with the dog isn't an option, send Pikmin up its legs like you would a [[Baldy Long Legs]]. [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] are both good choices as they can bypass the climbing process, but Winged Pikmin in particular shine here as they will fly directly onto its weak point if sent with the Charging Horn. This is one of the encounters that is made much simpler with a good group of Winged Pikmin and [[Ultra-spicy spray]], as 30 Winged Pikmin and a spray can knock it down and kill it before it can get back up. | If charging with the dog isn't an option, send Pikmin up its legs like you would a [[Baldy Long Legs]].

Once the creature is down, it is not completely helpless, it should be noted its arms, legs and mouth (the large, frilly opening on its head) are entirely invulnerable to attack, making the soft body in the centre the point your squadron should focus on. Charging a squad can still prove effective, but many Pikmin will get stuck on the invulnerable armour which makes it not as great an option (The [[Lineup Trumpet]], if you have it, is more effective if you use it to filter | Once the creature is down, it is not completely helpless, it should be noted its arms, legs and mouth (the large, frilly opening on its head) are entirely invulnerable to attack, making the soft body in the centre the point your squadron should focus on. Charging a squad can still prove effective, but many Pikmin will get stuck on the invulnerable armour which makes it not as great an option (The [[Lineup Trumpet]], if you have it, is more effective if you use it to filter pikmin in-between the claws.) instead, position yourself to the beast's side and throw Pikmin, preferably high-damaging ones such as [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Rock Pikmin|Rock]] and especially [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] Pikmin who can particularly take out this creature in a single cycle. Oatchi or Moss can also help, whistle your pikmin onto the back of the dog and then ram the centre of the creature, this can defeat the beast in one cycle, especially if the rush is upgraded to provide a stunning effect. [[Ultra-spicy spray]] is as always a potent option if you want to deal with it quickly. [[Ice Pikmin]] can extend the time you have to deal damage to the beast and turn its invulnerable armour into ice, making it succeptable to a charge. | ||
It should be noted that as little as 15 Winged Pikmin can defeat this creature entirely on their own without assistance from the player, as they effectively stunlock the Grubchucker due to their swift flying and homing abilities. They take an extremely long time to accomplish this, so you could use it as an oppurtunity to multitask. | It should be noted that as little as 15 Winged Pikmin can defeat this creature entirely on their own without assistance from the player, as they effectively stunlock the Grubchucker due to their swift flying and homing abilities.
