The Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat is an enemy in Pikmin 2. They resemble large, blue, floating jellyfish with yellow spots that float through the air. They attack the Pikmin by inhaling them and trapping them inside. The Pikmin slowly become digested one by one over considerably long periods of time, but can be saved by defeating the enemy. This creature is related to the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat. Also it and the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat replaced the Puffstool, given they have similar antennaes and general body shape.

Killing Strategy

Whenever you encounter one of these, stay out of their path and then throw Pikmin at it. If it is under your Pikmin, the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat will begin to suck them up. If the pilots do not manage to attack it on time, it will go down and cause their Pikmin to lost when they shake. The best Pikmin to use is a bunch of Purples, because they can easily take down a Jellyfloat while non-purples will be knocked off when it is shaking. When many Pikmin are attacking the Jellyfloat, it will go down and will shake after a short period of time. Call them to avoid letting them lose their petals. When the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat's health reaches to zero, it will spin and explode after a short period of time. Call your troops to avoid losing their flowers.
