===Captains===
Using both captains, repeatedly punch its face, but try to keep both away from the middle where they are at risk of damage from the Burrow-nit's sharp nose. When most of its health is gone during its attack phase, instead trying to jab its opponents, it will attempt to defend itself by shaking, a strategy used by nearly every other enemy in the game. After defending, it will reattempt the attack phase.
Using both captains, the face must be repeatedly punched while making sure not to be hit with the proboscis. IT may attempt to shake off the captains, but this action can be foreseen and avoided easily.

Pikmin

Swarming it is a suitable method, and 25 Pikmin are enough, as the hard shell protects it from all attacks, leaving only the face vulnerable, but usually, the Pikmin will revert from the shell to the face.

Captains

Using both captains, the face must be repeatedly punched while making sure not to be hit with the proboscis. IT may attempt to shake off the captains, but this action can be foreseen and avoided easily.
