A much more time-consuming method is to have a 100 strong army, confront the Ranging Bloyster, spray it, and then toss Pikmin onto its back. When it unfreezes, simply spray it again, and any Pikmin that were thrown off will leap back on it to continue the assault. Note that this can take multiple [[ultra-bitter spray]]s and the Pikmin will likely revert back to [[Maturity|leaf]] Pikmin when thrown off, but it is a far safer method.

A safe but slightly slow way is to use a single Purple Pikmin. Begin by making the Bloyster use its main attack. While it's busy doing so, go around it and throw the Purple Pikmin at its bulb. Slowly rotate alongside the Bloyster so that it does a full circle. When it reaches its initial position, make it attack again, and while it's doing so, go to its back, whistle the Pikmin, and re-throw it. Repeat this until the creature is dead. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG_uDASydD8 YouTube video] showing a safe strategy against the Bloyster, requiring only one Purple Pikmin</ref>

As a last resort, [[White Pikmin]] can be fed to the Bloyster, each dealing heavy damage when eaten. At least 8 are necessary to poison the creature to death.
