The Snowfake Fluttertail is immune to damage while protected by its ice cocoon. Pikmin that touch the ice cocoon will instantly freeze, leaving them open to being eaten. Its proboscis attack and ice gust attack target in front of the creature, so trying to remain behind it will leave Pikmin less vulnerable. Riding on [[Oatchi]] provides more safety as your Pikmin squad will be less spread out.

There are several options to breaking the cocoon, the easiest is throwing a [[Red Pikmin]] holding a [[fire starter]], as this will instantly shatter the cocoon. Take care when using fire starters, as the creature's gust attack can extinguish them. A [[Lightning Shock]] will shatter the cocoon, stun the Snowfake Fluttertail, and drop it to the ground. This creates an opportunity for a Pikmin charge or a rush by Oatchi and with enough Pikmin it will quickly defeat the Fluttertail. [[Bomb rock]]s can also instantly shatter the cocoon, but the creatures movements and the bomb's delayed explosion make this method harder to execute. [[Ice Pikmin]] can latch onto the cocoon and, with enough damage dealt, will shatter it. However, this method is much slower and leaves more time for the Fluttertail to attack. To remedy this, you can use [[Ultra-spicy spray]] to make Ice Pikmin far stronger, breaking the cocoon likely faster than it would be to return for another fire starter. [[Glow Pikmin]]'s [[Glowmob]] is also an even more effective way of doing this, as they are immune to ice as well.

When the cocoon is shattered, the Snowfake Fluttertail will attempt to flee. Keep throwing Pikmin unto its now vulnerable body and be ready to whistle them back when the Fluttertail starts to regenerate its cocoon.
