Strategy

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Snowfake Fluttertail is immune to damage while protected byits ice cocoon. Pikmin that touch the ice cocoon will instantly freeze, leaving them open to being eaten. Its proboscis attack and ice gust attack target in front of the creature, so trying to remain behind it will leave Pikmin less vulnerable. Riding on Oatchi provides more safety as your Pikmin squad will be less spread out.

There are several options to breaking the cocoon, the easiest is throwing a Red Pikmin holding a fire starter, as this will instantly shatter the cocoon. Take care when using fire starters, as the creature's gust attack can extinguish them. A Lightning Shock will shatter the cocoon, stun the Snowfake Fluttertail, and drop it to the ground. This creates an opportunity for a Pikmin charge or a rush by Oatchi and with enough Pikmin it will quickly defeat the Fluttertail. Bomb rocks can also instantly shatter the cocoon, but the creatures movements and the bomb's delayed explosion make this method harder to execute. Ice Pikmin can latch onto the cocoon and, with enough damage dealt, will shatter it. However, this method is much slower and leaves more time for the Fluttertail to attack.

When the cocoon is shattered, the Snowfake Fluttertail will attempt to flee. Keep throwing Pikmin unto its now vulnerable body and be ready to whistle them back when the Fluttertail starts to regenerate its cocoon.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“Please don't call it a flying snowman! The sight of it flying around with its magnificent wings, scattering ice like diamonds, evokes thoughts of a snow sprite. Witness this beauty of nature, and let it soothe away all of your woes and anxiety.”

Olimar's Notes

“The cooling cycle in its body uses ammonia as a refrigerant to chill the moisture it absorbs from the air until it reaches a supercooled state. By then spraying it out of the several vents on its belly, the Snowfake Fluttertail creates a delicate coccoon out of ice to both protect itself and freeze its prey.
Its rolled-up, spirally proboscis evolved from an upper jaw and can catch and tie up prey with the fine hairs on its surface.
Though it mimics a type of swallowtail butterfly, this creature is actually more closely related to moths. One might extrapolate that its ancient ancestor was unable to adapt to the cooling climate and therefore went extinct.”

Louie's Notes

“Dice finely or puree to make a meaty sorbet. Add a tiny drizzle of fruit sauce for some punch! Pluck the wings and antennae beforehand to use as a garnish if you want to get fancy.”
