How to Beat Foolix

Steps to Beat Foolix
Step 1: Send 15 Pikmin to Its Tail to Pull It Out of Its Body Step 2: Throw Ice Pikmin Into Its Body then Use Rush Step 3: Attack When It's Out of the Blob

Send 15 Pikmin to Its Tail to Pull It Out of Its Body

When engaging Foolix, pay attention to its tail. When it comes out, you can send 15 Pikmin to pull it out, which will make Foolix vulnerable to your attacks.

Pulling the tail out of the blob will also scatter goo-like substances, which Foolix can recall to regain its body. These can also trap you, Oatchi, or your Pikmin. Watch out for this and if you get caught, just repeatedly tap the B button to escape.

Throw Ice Pikmin Into Its Body then Use Rush

You can also throw Ice Pikmin to Foolix's body. Depending on how many you have, Foolix will freeze in just a short amount of time, giving you the opportunity to Rush in and break the body off.

Unlike the first strategy, this will not summon goo-like substances around it, making it easier to attack without getting trapped.

Attack When It's Out of the Blob

Once the blob surrounding its body is destroyed, launch all your Pikmin at Foolix to overwhelm it. This is where the power of the Red Pikmin will truly shine. Watch its health dwindle!

Foolix Basic Info and Location

Overview

Foolix Overview
Family	Weight	Sparklium Value	Pikmin Yield
Goolix	5	20	30
Sci. Name	Mononuclei stellacodus
Locations	▸Secluded Courtyard
Dalmo's Log	If you take the microorganisms I used to peer at through my microscope as a child and blow them up much, MUCH bigger, this is what you get. A huge, single-celled sweetie, it blorpily sloshes around in search of food. To this giant, we're the microorganisms!
Olimar's Log	A member of the Goolix family, this primitive life-form is made up of a single cell, which is quite odd given its size. Its nucleus is shaped like a bulbous star, and individuals move by using the fin at the end of its flagellum-like tail to quickly expand and contract its gelatinous body. If the nucleus is removed, its soft body loses all structures and splatters. But as long as the nucleus is still alive, the Foolix can return to its original form. Usually, the Foolix will mimic nectar and wait for its prey. Its gel, which includes fire-extinguishing fluids, will then expand to capture and feed on unsuspecting organisms.
Louie's Log	Gently remove the jellied parts. Add a fruit and sweetener of your choice, then serve as a gelatin dessert.
