Break the crystal wall, send 5 Rock Pikmin in the purple Candypop Bud while you go walk over the Foolix to make it spawn. Unpluck the 5 Purple pikmins, send 2 to tug on the Foolix's tail and charge at it as soon as it's vulnerable. To kill it in the quickest way, repeat a cycle of: chomp twice then charge with Oatchi as soon as you can, which should allows you to kill it in 2 cycles. After the Foolix is dead, spawn 5 more Purples while going to the Snabrek arena, prompt it to spawn, get the purples, and wait for it to plant itself into the ground and get stuck, then charge it. It should shake the pikmin off before dying but only require to get charged while he's trying to come out of the ground once or twice. Transform the next 5 Purple Pikmin using the Candypop Bud, but do not waste time breaking the wall! Just go through the center room (without provoking the Emperor Bulblax) While you wait for the Candypop Bud seeds to sprout, send Oatchi to the dirt moat next to the Porquillon and get him to dig up the Super Spicy spray. Once you have gotten the 5 Purples, go back to the Porquillon which should be a few hits from death, finish him, get the Super Spicy spray and go with Oatchi to kill the Emperor Bulblax by charging every time you can (once it's done attacking if it attacked first).

Get the Onion down from its placements using 8 Purples and 20 Ice pikmin, and get Oatchi to swallow it once it's down. Break the dirt wall, the crystal wall with the bomb Oatchi dug up then go ahead to clear the way (kill the Blowhogs, uproot the plants.) Once the plant is uprooted, kill the Startle Spore and the Arctic cannon larva with the help of Oatchi. As soon as they are handled, get Otachi to swallow the onion again while you transform 5 more Ice Pikmin in purples and use them to lower the paper bag, then wait for Oatchi to waddle his way to the ship.
