How to Defeat Muckerskate

Tips to Defeat Muckerskate

Use Winged Pikmin

The Muckerskate is found flitting around in the mud so we recommend throwing Winged Pikmin. Once thrown, these Pikmin will chase and attack the enemy.

How to Get Winged Pikmin

Freeze the Mud

Freeze the mud and the Muckerskate by throwing 1 Ice Blast or enough Ice Pikmin. You can then safely attack and defeat it without retaliation.

DalmoDalmo's Log This cautious critter moves in fits and starts. When it does, the muddy liquid in its transparent orb sloshes around. Splish! Splash! Sploosh! If I could observe this unique anatomy up close, I'd have no regrets, even if I got spattered with mud!
OlimarOlimar's Log A subspecies of the Skeeterskate that's adapted to life in muddy wetlands. It uses its straw-like proboscis, the inside of which is packed with densely grown hair, to capture any plankton living in the mucky water and filter out everything else.
When an enemy approaches, it will threaten them by shooting out a murky substance. This combination of muddy water and gastric juices has a higher viscosity, so it can essentially bury Pikmin—and a lot of other stuff—in dirt.
LouieLouie's Log Even after draining the mud, its texture remains gritty. Chew it for long enough, and your teeth will get a good scrubbing.
