Any Pikmin species can be used to kill the Thorny Devil but Rock Pikmin are recommended. Its tail is its weakpoint, and so having Pikmin attack it is the key to victory.

Notes
In-game entry
- “The thorny devil is the largest specimen of sauridian. While most sauridians tend to attack their prey by surprise, this creature goes straight to attacking. It does this because of its spiky covering and leathery skin. Unlike other sauridians, the thorny devil has a long tongue, like the whiptongue bulborb. This suggests that the creature is also capable of ranged attacks. It even has the ability to shoot spikes from its covering, and each spike grows back with ease. the creature seems to have been successful because of this defense mechanism.”
