In Pikmin: Distant Planet
In Pikmin: Distant Planet, the Suckerpunch is seemingly a marine creature with no visible facial features. It looks like a cylindrical mass of spongy material just slightly smaller than a fully-matured grub-dog that wobbles back and forth, shuffling slowly toward its prey. Once it is in range of eating Pikmin, it leans over and suctions nearby Pikmin straight into its mouth. Because the mouth is on top of the creature, throwing Pikmin on top of it puts them at risk of it eating Pikmin, as does swarming it. The trick is to get it to bend over to try and eat Pikmin, then quickly maneuver them out of the way and throw them on the creature before it stands upright. They'll continue to damage it until it is defeated, as the Suckerpunch can't shake off Pikmin that are latched on to it, only eat Pikmin situated around its base. Upon defeat, the Suckerpunch's body collapses on itself, then turns into goo and shrinks.
