The Puckering Blinnow is an enemy in Pikmin 3. They are small, colorful fish enemies that inhabit water areas.
These creatures usually swim passively around in water. When one spots a group of Pikmin, it approaches the nearest Pikmin, grabs it, and swims away. They can also jump out of the water and catch any Winged Pikmin flying overhead. It is very swift in the water, but it can only grab one Pikmin at a time.
Strategy
The best way to defeat one is to lock on and swarm your Blue Pikmin onto the enemy. It will be unable to attack and easily overwhelmed. The Blinnow will perish quickly. It is also possible to get it to throw itself onto dry land where it can be killed very easily.
