Attack While Riding Oatchi
The Shearwig takes Pikmin away from you before throwing them to the ground and attacking them. You can avoid this by fighting the Shearwig while riding Oatchi.
Save Your Pikmin
You can still save your Pikmin by throwing more at the Shearwig before it drops its captured prey. We recommend defeating this enemy with a few Pikmin and calling them back quickly to you and Oatchi.
Use Oatchi's Rush
One-shot the Shearwig by commanding Oatchi to use Rush. You can defeat it by timing your attack when the Shearwig digs itself out of the ground and when it dives or comes down from the air.

 Dalmo's Log |
It may be small, but it's full of vim and vigor! It hovers in midair, then zips straight to its target. And once it has prey in its jaws, it locks on tight and won't let go. The Shearwig, a cunning and fierce survivor, has a death grip on my heart and soul! | ||
 Olimar's Log |
Unusual for their genus, flying Mandiblards have retained their wings. However, only the adult males of this species can fly. Females of this species spend most of their life span underground. They do emerge for a period after maturation to spawn, but they never metamorphose. | ||
 Louie's Log |
Grate this beast into a zest, and whisk with sugar, cream, and chopped dark chocolate for a lusciously indulgent mousse that's a true culinary coup de grâce! | ||
