Given its size and agility, maintaining mobility is key. Avoid its front and rear to minimize exposure to breath attacks. Focus on breaking its forelegs for consistent openings. After mushroom consumption, exploit its gas attacks for safe openings to strike the head, tail, or rear. Use deodorant or water to cleanse yourself of its fumes. Utilize Focus Mode and Focus Strikes for significant damage, particularly when countering breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala:
