Throw Ice Pikmin to Bring It Down
Puffy Blowhog will be floating when you encounter it. Throw at least 8 Ice Pikmin to freeze it. This will bring this boss down, making it easier to attack.
Use Rush and Launch All of Your Pikmin
When it's down, use Rush and charge at Puffy Blowhog. This will deal damage and launch all of your Pikmin at it. Bring along Red Pikmin to deal as much damage as possible.
Avoid Its Blowing Move
When it sucks up air, Puffy Blowhog will do its blowing move. Be sure to move sideways to avoid this or else, it will displace you and your team.
You can equip Brace Boots to nullify this effect on you. However, even with the boots equipped, this move will still affect your Pikmin, so be careful!

 Dalmo's Log |
See those prominent spines upon its back? I like to imagine that if you looped ropes through them and hung a gondola from the ropes, you could create a living airship! How amazing it would be to travel the sky with one of these spiky sweetlings. We'd float along together wherever the wind chose to take us! | ||
 Olimar's Log |
This species of Blowhog uses internally generated hydrogen to inflate a flotation bladder and hover above the ground. The creature's electrified pulse creates a sash of color that flows along the surface of its body, making it a particularly beautiful species in the Blowhog family. Precisely how it is able to internally stabilize its highly explosive hydrogen and simultaneously generate electricity remains a mystery. The Puffy Blowhog blows leaves and grass around to eat the insects underneath. It maintains midair buoyancy by using its fins and releasing air through blowholes. This enables it to float effortlessly, even in the breeze. |

 Louie's Log |
Slice this creature's featherlight skin into triangles, deep-fry until crispy, and salt generously. Makes the perfect scooping chip to accompany fresh mango salsa! | ||
