Family Weight Sparklium Value Pikmin Yield
Jellyfloat Unknown Unknown Unknown
Sci. Name Cephalus dottalium
Locations ▸Seafloor Resort
▸Ultimate Testing Range
DalmoDalmo's Log Notice the elegant way it floats and its delicate transparency?! The mystical sky-blue color always catches my gaze and won't let go. Even when the drifting darling sucks up Pikmin, it doesn't eat them but gently envelops them. What a sweetheart!
OlimarOlimar's Log This native Jellyfloat is indigenous to the region. Unfortunately, it is currently endangered, as its habitat is being overwhelmed by hostile invasive species.
LouieLouie's Log Similar in taste and texture to gelatin, this jiggling mass of jelly can be sculpted into all kinds of creative shapes. As a bonus, it also doubles as professional-grade hair gel. It's the perfect cool summer treat!

How to Defeat Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat

Trapped Pikmin Will Not Die

Pikmin 4 - Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat Absorbed Pikmin

The Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat will attack Pikmin by sucking them in and trapping them. The trapped Pikmin will survive, and they can be rescued after defeating the Jellyfloat.

Have it Suck in a Bomb

Ice Blast.pngIce Blast Bomb Rock.pngBomb Rock

Allowing the Jellyfloat to suck in a bomb guarantees it will get hit by the explosion. However, if you use a Bomb Rock, the trapped Pikmin will also be blown up. So, use an Ice Blast instead if there are already trapped Pikmin.

Freeze to Defeat with One Hit

Pikmin 4 - Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat Freeze

How to Freeze
Ice Pikmin Ice Blast

The Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat can be killed with one hit if you're able to freeze it. You can freeze it by throwing Ice Pikmin or having it suck in an Ice Blast.

Oatchi Can Attack with Big Chomp Skill

Skill Effect / How to Unlock
Big Chomp
This skill teaches Rescue Pups an even stronger Chomp attack and allows them to jump up to attack creatures in higher places.
Raise Chomp to Lv. 3

If Oatchi has learned the Big Chomp skill, he will be able to attack the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat even though it's floating in the air. To unlock the Big Chomp skill, you'll first need to level up Chomp to the max level.
