 ==Strategy==
 {{guide}}
-===Pikmin===
+===With Pikmin===
-It's safest to attack with [[White Pikmin]] or, if available, [[Bulbmin]], as they are immune to their gas attack. Swarming them with either of these is a reasonable strategy that guarantees the safety of your Pikmin. A faster, if slightly riskier strategy, is to use [[Purple Pikmin]]; they are guaranteed to stun Dweevils with their pound, and a direct stomp to their head will do massive damage.
+It's generally safest to attack a Munge Dweevil with either [[White Pikmin]] or [[Bulbmin]], as both are immune to its gas. Munge Dweevils have a noticeably higher amount of health compared to other common Dweevils, so the fight will take slightly longer. [[Purple Pikmin]] remain an effective option: The impact of one stomping nearby is guaranteed to stun it, and a direct stomp to its head will cause significant damage, although it'll take multiple to kill it.
 Swarming it with a large group of Pikmin regardless of type will also quickly kill it. Just be prepared to whistle, as the creature may still get an attack off before it dies.
-===Leaders===
+===Alternative methods===
-Simply [[punch]] the Dweevil to death. Both leaders are completely immune to poison, even without upgrades, meaning that the creature poses zero danger to them. Munge Dweevils, however, do have the most health out of the common Dweevil species, meaning that it may take a while without the [[Rocket Fist]].
+Leaders are innately immune to poison gas, even without upgrades - as such, Munge Dweevils pose zero risk to them, outside of lightly damaging them if they successfully knock them away with a shake. Punching one to death will take a while, even with the [[Rocket Fist]], thanks to their higher health though.
-Using the [[Napsack]] to lay down near any Dweevil species will potentially make them pick up the sleeping leader, humorously allowing them to "ride" the Dweevil. When you are ready to kill it, just press {{button|gc|a|wii|a|switch|a}} to kick its head and stun it. Then, just [[punch]] it to death. This works for any small [[Dweevil]].
+An alternative, more humorous method is to lie down near them with the [[Napsack]] and wait for them to pick the sleeping leader up: Waking up while 'riding' it's back will stun it, allowing for a safe attack.
