===Pikmin===
[[Throw]] any type of Pikmin onto a Hydro Dweevil's small head. Although they can harm non-Blue Pikmin, they are weak and often die before getting a chance to attack at all, and this does not kill Pikmin instantly, allowing them to be whistled to safety by a [[leader]] if they do come into contact with the attack. Be aware, however, that depletion of a Dweevil's HP will not stop an oncoming attack, so if one starts its attack animation, be prepared to whistle your Pikmin back. [[Purple Pikmin]] are particularly useful in defeating large numbers of smaller Dweevils with ease, since they stun when thrown, halting any enemy attacks, usually until death. Also to be advised is that the Hydro Dweevil can stun leaders regardless of what upgrades they have, this can put suffering Pikmin in danger of dying as the stun will prevent whistling while active.
Either [[swarm]] the creature with a group of Pikmin, or [[throw]] Pikmin at its head. While it's technically safest to attack it with Blue Pikmin, the creature is weak enough that it oftentimes will die before it can attack at all. Even if the Dweevil manages to attack before it dies, you can simply [[whistle]] the water off to prevent casualties. As with most Dweevils, [[Purple Pikmin]] are incredibly effective against them. A stomp nearby is guaranteed to stun them, and a direct stomp to their head will almost instantly kill it.


Do note that, if the Dweevil's health is completely depleted while it is preparing to attack, that the attack will ''not'' be interrupted, the Dweevil not dying until the moment the attack ends. Additionally, take care to make sure your Leaders are not hit by the water spray; it will always stun your Leaders regardless of upgrades, and you won't be able to whistle to any drowning Pikmin during this stun.
Alternatively, you can use leaders to defeat the creature in an ultimately safer way. Run up to it and [[punch]] it until it begins its attacking animation, leaving plenty of time to run away before it attacks. Run back and continue the assault when the water flow stops.
 
===Leaders===
Simply [[punch]] the creature until it dies. While it's water spray will stun leaders if it hits, it won't actually damage them.
