The battle against the Gauntlet Groink is mildly complicated; the fight itself has several phases, and the boss is initially invulnerable and has a small variety of attacks. The Gauntlet Groink will begin the fight by launching [[Explosion|explosive]] shells at [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. These shells have a large blast radius and can be difficult to dodge; fortunately, the groink must charge every shot. Eventually, the Gauntlet Groink will fire a [[Magnetism|magnetic]] [[boulder]] that will roll towards leaders and can be led into the creature to break a small portion of its armor so it may be attacked by Pikmin. The armor will not reappear at any point during the boss fight, and the more armor is broken, the more weakpoints the boss has. Each time the Gauntlet Groink shakes Pikmin off of itself, its machine guns will trigger and begin firing after a short delay. The ensuing barrage of [[Fire|incendiary]] bullets can be avoided simply by running around until the creature ceases fire. Once the Gauntlet Groink's health reaches three-fourths, it will begin to occasionally fire a series of ordinary boulders in rapid succession. At half-health, the creature will begin to occasionally unleash a tidal wave of [[water]] from its mouth, an attack that can be avoided by retreating to high ground. Upon death, the Gauntlet Groink and its weaponry will malfunction and deactivate, allowing Pikmin to carry it.

==Biology==
*Diet:???
*Predators:N/A
The Gauntlet Groink is the titan of Groink species, and highly advanced in attacks towards its opponents. Throughout the fight, it's main attacks consist of a charged projectile from its mouth, which explodes on impact with a large radius; a set of machine guns that shoot out rpojectiles similar to that of a [[Man At Legs]], though it sets them on fire rather than killing them instantly; and a release of a wave of water from it's true mouth, let out in a wave.

''The Gauntlet Groink is the ultimate doomsday weapon of Groinks, I have to say. So many different attacks stacked within that biomechanical shell, and all of them dealing a lot of damage. If this beast is indeed the future for Groink evolution, I do have to wonder what kinds of weapons will spawn up after time.''
==Strategy==
The method of fighting a Gauntlet Groink is a bit of a complicated one. At the beginning of the fight, the Gauntlet Groink will only shoot the cannon mouth at you, which you'll have to avoid during the attacks. In order to hurt it, you're going to have to wait until the Gauntlet Groink shoots out a Cannon Beetle rock at you, which you'll have to lure it to hit the Groink itself. Once this happens, a bit of its metal armor will break, and leave an opening for your Pikmin to attack it. However, after it shakes off the Pikmin, it'll harden into another shell, which can't be destroyed for the remainder of the fight.
*Each shake off will trigger its machine-guns, which you'll have to run non-stop to avoid until they deactivate.
*when it's health is at 75%, it will then begin to shoot out the straight-shot rocks at you.
*when it's health is at 50%, it will start using the water wave, which will cover the floor with water, which will drown your Pikmin unless you get them on floating debris - which fall from the ceiling after it stomps in anger prior to attack.
*when it's health is at 25%, it'll use all of its moves to attack you, all at random.
Keep attacking it until it drops dead.

Notes

Piklopedia entry

The Gauntlet Groink is the ultimate doomsday weapon of groinks. So many different attacks stacked within that biomechanical shell, and all of them deal a lot of damage. If this beast is indeed the future for groink evolution, the implications it holds are dire.
