How do you defeat the final boss in Pikmin 2

How do you defeat the final boss in Pikmin 2
The final boss in Pikmin 2 has four different weapons, each of which poses a different danger to Pikmin. You must knock off every weapon to kill the Titan Dweevil. One weapon is poisonous, one is electric, one is fiery, and one is watery. Captains will be stunned by all attacks but will not take damage as long as you have Anti-Electrifier and the Scorch Guard. Spicy Sprays are recommended but Bitter Sprays are not. Although, at the end of the battle, if you use a bitter spray right before he dies, you get 8 potions in a small ring.
Method 1: Using all types for the corresponding pikmin.

As the electric weapon can kill Pikmin instantly, it is best to start by knocking that off.

It is also best if you leave all other Pikmin types behind in a safe place except for the single type of Pikmin that will knock off the corresponding part on the boss. This way, no other Pikmin will be accidentally hurled at the wrong part, and will be relatively easy to control the small amount of the certain type of Pikmin you have with you to keep them from being attacked by a different part of the boss. Be careful, however: the water weapon the boss has can attack Pikmin that are outside of its pit.
Recommended order
Shock Therapist (Electric Attack)
Monster pump (Water Attack)
Comity bomb (Poison Attack)
Flare Cannon (Fire Attack)

Method 2: All yellows
In my opinion, this is the best method. Yellow pikmin can be thrown higher than other colors and, more importantly, are immuned to the Electric Attack. It is best to leave the other Pikmin by the geyser since you will not have to switch out. It does not make a huge difference which order you take them out in as long as you take out the shock therapist last.
Recommended order:

Monster pump (Water Attack)
Comity bomb (Poison Attack)
Flare Cannon (Fire Attack)
Shock Therapist (Electric Attack)
Once you defeat the final boss, you will get Louie back. The payout is 4010 pokos. Also, if you come back, you will not have to knock off the weapons.
