The '''Sovereign Bulblax''' | The '''Sovereign Bulblax''' is a [[boss]] found in {{p4}}. This creature is an [[Emperor Bulblax]] in advanced age and shares many of the same attacks as the younger version of the species, such as a [[Panic|loud roar]]. One important difference apart from its size and health is its incredible jumping ability, far greater than that of its younger counterpart. | ||
While not | While not introduced until ''Pikmin 4'', it shares many similarities with the Emperor Bulbax variants from {{p1}} and {{hp}}, with vegetation on its back resembling the ''Hey! Pikmin'' design. | ||

The Sovereign Bulblax will hide underground until something disturbs | The Sovereign Bulblax will hide underground until something disturbs them, where they will emerge throwing everything nearby off of it. They will then start to attack the player and their Pikmin using a variety of attacks. The Bulblax will usually use the standard tongue lash, stunning the leader and Oatchi, and capturing Pikmin, who are then eaten. When it has been damaged enough, the Bulblax roars, inflicting all Pikmin and [[Oatchi]] with [[Panic]]. Immediately afterwards the Bulblax will start to charge a jump, with Collin warning the player to run away. This jump is not as accurate as it is in ''Pikmin'', but it can still crush without limit. When underground, boulders will fall soon after it lands. When under attack, the Bulblax will jump in place. This will shake off any Pikmin on the face, and crush any underneath. It will also use this attack if anything lingers underneath the beast. When the player leaves the Sovereign Bulblax's territory, it will patrol the area and will not retreat underground. | ||

Using a large squad of high | Using a large squad of high damaging Pikmin, either [[Red Pikmin]] and/or [[Purple Pikmin]], and charging them all onto the Bulblax's face using Oatchi's rush ability can deal a lot of damage very quickly. The main issue with this is the fact that the Sovereign Bulblax is much larger than other enemies and it can be hard to correctly throw all your Pikmin onto their face. Players must also be careful of where they throw their Pikmin as if they throw them onto the Bulblax's mouth, and it does its tongue attack, a lot of the Pikmin will instantly be stuck to their tongue and can be eaten. It is also possible to trick it into eating a Bomb Rock in the same fashion as its smaller counterpart, and ''Pikmin'' self. | ||
