Immediately after the night starts, collect all the glow pellets nearby to increase the number of Glow Pikmin you have.

Command Oatchi to Protect the Lumiknoll

Pikmin 4 - Oatchi Protect Lumiknoll Command
Command Oatchi to alternate between defending the two Lumiknolls. If you have upgraded Oatchi's skills, it is recommended to have him defend the Lumiknoll with the orange glow as more enemies will appear to attack at that area.

Command Effect and How to Unlock

Always Check the Minimap

Pikmin 4 - Always Check the Minimap

Abandon One of the Tricknolls as Needed

Pikmin 4 - Abandon One of the Tricknolls as Needed
You can use one of the Tricknolls as a decoy to divert the enemies away from the other Tricknoll and the Lumiknoll. Consider abandoning one of the Tricknolls to buy you time to defend the others.

Use Glowmob to Stun Enemies

Pikmin 4 - Use Glowmob to Stun Enemies

How to Use Glowmob Press and hold the X Button.

Take advantage of the Glow Pikmin's Glowmob ability to stun and attack enemies. Press and hold the X Button and release it once the gauge is full to perform the attack and deal high damage.

Note that this ability has a cooldown, so it is best to use it against a large number of enemies or against a powerful enemy.
