The In Game Description from the Trailer suggests that most creatures in the world of Pikmin are mostly nocturnal and become extremely aggressive at night The Smoky Progg literally unhatched itself because it hates Glow Pikmin so much it attacks them half finished just to kill them
I believe its said in game that if a Mamuta fails to reach a safe place before nightfall and becomes exposed to Glowsap. Its eggs become mutated by the stuff. So when it reproduces and lays eggs, they go sterile and the embryo becomes a Smoky Progg
Man, I haven't fought the smoky progg in 22 years! He doesn't seem as deadly or difficult as he used to be, but still scary as ever. I remember you could only fight him on certain days at the Distant Spring and he'd drop a pearl worth 100 pikmin when defeated.
Yeah that was one of my last guesses of a recurring enemy. I lost 150 to him my first playthrough, and like 60 my second when I knew what I was doing. Dudes dangerous
@@slowbrofriend6526 I know its not the actual Goolix, the actual Goolix is the Water Wraith but Foolix belongs to the Goolix family, so its a relative...wait does that mean the Foolix could become a Glacier Wraith or something?
I didn't actually know the smoky progg was in the game while doing the night expedition When I saw the cutscene with the egg and it began hatching, I had an "oh shit" moment
I was going to say that this boss fight was easy, but you can only bring glow pikmin into the night, so that makes it like the one from Pikmin 1, BUT there’s multiple!
Not to mention you have to deal with several enemies besides the Smoky Progg, and it has ranged attacks and shockwaves now Also like you said, there are either multiple Smoky Proggs or they respawn after a while. Either way, it's still bad news. This is quite the upgrade from Pikmin 1
“small crack on the egg” olimar :oh no is happening you: what’s happening olimar: the day i encounter it I wish I’ve already destroyed “it” “The egg starts cracking intensely as you prepare for battle you gather all 100 of your pikmin” olimar: Quick we have to stop “it” “it cracks while they’re going to try to destroy” you: it’s you: It’s you: IT’S!!! smoky progg: 😮 you: actually that cute olimar: you don’t understand it will hunt you down every single pikmin to extinction no matter what we have to kill it
Funny thing when I saw the smoky progg I was genuinely surprised but thought that since Glow pikmin are immune to every single hazzard I just charged them at it. Lost all my 80 glow pikmin.
I never played Pikmin 1, but they made the Smoky Progg to be an absolute Pikmin crusher. When I fought him, I didn't know if they nerfed him, or Glow Pikmin are OP.
1:46 the darkness in the area thanks to the lack of the headlamp's light makes the Smoky Progg so much more menacing... I'd say its on par to the original. Makes me wish there was a optionnto completely turn off the headlamp
I am so SO glad I was not spoiled on anything like this in Pikmin 4, like yeah I saw the Waterwraith returning because of prerelease material hinting at it, but the Smoky Progg I was jumpscared by seeing the egg for omg (I saw the egg and was like “is that what I think it is?”)
T’was the night before Pikmas, and all through the house, not a creature was peaceful, not even a mouse. With Lumiknolls populated by Pikmin with care. With hopes that predators soon won’t be there. The Rescue Corps were busy, and had no time to go to bed. As visions of their worst fears danced in their heads. The Rescue Corps wore helmets, no hats or fancy caps. The nocturnal predators shall soon awaken from their naps. When out of the darkness, there arose such a clatter. The Rescue Corps and the Pikmin worried, thinking what was the matter. The Rescue Corps went to their stations, as quick as a flash The predators were awake, with the Lumiknolls in danger of getting smashed
idk why, but for me it looks like a Phantom Frog half alive half dead and its simply limping by his two front legs dragging his decaying body on the floor. It just looks horrifying if you think of it that way
You Can fight it later in the game with any Pikmin but it kills whites,its not poison its death. Édit:you fight the smokey progg in the boss rush of the game,i Never knew it was in the game. Until the boss rush

The glow is irresistible
Dedication to the hatred.
Day 1 hater
I believe its said in game that if a Mamuta fails to reach a safe place before nightfall and becomes exposed to Glowsap. Its eggs become mutated by the stuff.

It became like this BECAUSE of the glow pikmins lmfao
If you find the egg in time, you can actually destroy it and avoid a Smoky Progg encounter entirely
I almost destroy the egg but I was too busy on fighting off the other enemies until that horrifying being comes out of it
Useful information
It is not hard if you charge attack and use sprays
I tried to attack the egg, but then my base was unguarded, and doomed after that.
@@joshcoy6748 you gotta go for it at the beggining of the level to have a chance of destroying it before enemys start attacking
Smoky progg: *makes a distorted roar after coming out of a egg*
Person who lives in this nice looking house:the heck is that noise?!
Its the monster under the bed🙂🙂
@@WillyLongLegslol and I hope there wasn't a Smokey progg living under my bed
(waterwraith scream)
@@Glitchmouse2 some person trying to spend a nice day at the beach:okay why is there a whale below the sands?
I love that when the night is done the smoky progg wanders off like it forgot what it was doing.
"You're not stopping me; the only thing you can look forward to is your inevitable dem- oh crud, I left the stove on, can you wait here for a moment?"
Legit one of the scariest enemies in 1, even if it is way easier here, the sheer horror I felt seeing it again was awesome. 10/10

It's incredible how certain gaming experiences can leave a lasting impression
It’s actually still pretty deadly. It’s so poisonous that it bypasses a White Pikmin’s poison immunity and a Glow Pikmin’s immortality.
Now how about we make a mission with 5 smokeys
This area at night is like going downstairs to get something at 3 in the morning
Yeah and I am scared about getting a snack at midnight and the smokey progg who's living under a couch attacks
@@Mr.Feather130 smoky progg fr be like: “yo hand me some of that sh*t”
@@rolfy_lolz3314 lol I definitely should give a Smokey progg a cookie or a can of Pringles if it's a friendly one
@@Mr.Feather130 bro imagin a pet smokey progg 🤔
@@rolfy_lolz3314 that'll be cool but will you get poisoned by it if you pet it?
I didn't expect that Smoky Progg will return in Pikmin 4
Yeah that was one of my last guesses of a recurring enemy.
I lost 150 to him my first playthrough, and like 60 my second when I knew what I was doing. Dudes dangerous
Mamuta & Goolix were in the game so I suspected
@@xxmension04xx47you are a FOOLIX, for not realizing it wasn’t the GOOLIX.
The first time I saw it in Pikmin 4 I was like: EXCUSE ME?!?!
@@slowbrofriend6526 I know its not the actual Goolix, the actual Goolix is the Water Wraith
but Foolix belongs to the Goolix family, so its a relative...wait does that mean the Foolix could become a Glacier Wraith or something?
it’s actually kinda cute now and i will probably be the only pikmin to actually think this
NOM.
It’s still cute
They did a great job, i love the atmosphere that the Smoky Progg passes.
Yeah it's basically that monster who lives under someone's couch or bed
This is a real horror game.
To think people are already calling it too easy.
It IS too easy stop being fanboy blinded
@@Xf3rnaPlays Lmao I bet you're one of the people who lose Pikmin playing Hey! and call it easy too.
@@Xf3rnaPlays i played until the hero hidaway and the challenges, it is easy in the beggining, but after hero hidaway it is pure chaos
@@melichio2143It went from pretty easy to my whole team getting wiped out
@@Xf3rnaPlays Cavern for a King moment:
I didn't actually know the smoky progg was in the game while doing the night expedition
When I saw the cutscene with the egg and it began hatching, I had an "oh shit" moment
In every aspect, the smoky progg manages to be scary, I remember my first encounter with him actually had my heart pounding
I did not know bulborbs could get that big, and roar and flurry attack is actually a bit scary
I was so busy collecting the "star bits " I never noticed the egg. So it hatched and I just started panicking and tossing out bombs
I was going to say that this boss fight was easy, but you can only bring glow pikmin into the night, so that makes it like the one from Pikmin 1, BUT there’s multiple!

Are you kindding yes its easy to deafet the progg but then it spawn after a minute is literally giving me nightmares...
Night mode makes submerged castle look like a cakewalk
You forgot about engulfed castle
Did anyone expect the Smoky Progg to come back?
Literally went "HUH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" when I saw him
“small crack on the egg”
olimar :oh no is happening
you: what’s happening
olimar: the day i encounter it I wish I’ve already destroyed “it”
“The egg starts cracking intensely as you prepare for battle you gather all 100 of your pikmin”
olimar: Quick we have to stop “it”
“it cracks while they’re going to try to destroy”
you: it’s
you: It’s
you: IT’S!!!
smoky progg: 😮
you: actually that cute
olimar: you don’t understand it will hunt you down every single pikmin to extinction no matter what we have to kill it
Funny thing when I saw the smoky progg I was genuinely surprised but thought that since Glow pikmin are immune to every single hazzard I just charged them at it. Lost all my 80 glow pikmin.
I think you should of learn the glowmob to flinch that nightmare fuel being
@@Mr.Feather130 yea I spammed tons of glow seeds after that and just abused the hell out of glow mob
@@overseereros7935 Oh Okay good
Moral of the story: Main Glowmob
I never played Pikmin 1, but they made the Smoky Progg to be an absolute Pikmin crusher. When I fought him, I didn't know if they nerfed him, or Glow Pikmin are OP.
definitely both. glowmob op af.
They possibly nerf him but his gloom can kill glow pikmin and even white pikmin can’t survive from that type of poison
1:46 the darkness in the area thanks to the lack of the headlamp's light makes the Smoky Progg so much more menacing... I'd say its on par to the original. Makes me wish there was a optionnto completely turn off the headlamp
The Nightmare has returned.
I adore that the glow pikmin sound like squeaky toys
Imagine being in your house and seeing all this
I imagine it would be hard to see though lol. It’d be like bugs fighting each other 😂
Spatula
💀
I am definitely be confused and scared over the carrot Bois fighting off nocturnal creatures in my house
I am so SO glad I was not spoiled on anything like this in Pikmin 4, like yeah I saw the Waterwraith returning because of prerelease material hinting at it, but the Smoky Progg I was jumpscared by seeing the egg for omg (I saw the egg and was like “is that what I think it is?”)
It's been 22 years since that thing was around
O.o They brought the Smokey Progg back?! *Has Pikmin 1 PTSD flashbacks*
and the waterwraith from 2
@@saiyanscaris6530 Him I didn't lose hundreds of Pikmin in trying to bring down.
Im so excited to get this hopefully when i eake up
1:53 - IT’S THE BOGEYMAN!!!
If there was a smoky progg in my house I would've moved out real quick.
I didn’t recognize the egg at first, so imagine my surprise when I saw this thing again
Cry’s in joy for him being nerfed
Man didn’t let a single glow pikmin bring more star bits to the lumiknoll
Lmao
The second I saw that egg, I legitimately started freaking out
I never realized that thing had a mouth until today
It only has a mouth in 4
We dont have the bulbmin in pikmin 4 but at least we got the smoky progg

smoky progg is as large as a kitten
They just had to added back the Smokky Progg NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Also the Puffstool too
and the waterwraith
And are the mushroom Pikmin also return in the fourth game?
It looks like a living room.
It is
Ah yes… the larval malformed Mamuta from the first game.
Water Wraith Shivering in Fear
Wait is he in 4 too?
@@silvernado8644Yes.
@@silvernado8644 yup. both of them are. imagine fighting them both at once
There’s quite a few nasty surprises in this game. They really want you to know you aren’t safe.
smoky progg is a bit more scary now honestly, probably cus of the more realistic design
And it finally had a mouth
idk why, but for me it looks like a Phantom Frog half alive half dead and its simply limping by his two front legs dragging his decaying body on the floor. It just looks horrifying if you think of it that way
I love pikmin
Same
Time to get another free 109-139 Pikmin
It has a mouth now
Yo queriendo EVITAR CUALQUIER SPOILER de pikmin 4 y me salen con estas cosas
100 free glow Pikmin :)
This is the only optical downgrade from older enemies in my opinion. Breadbugs had a big glow up 😍.
It would have been nice if we could fight the Smoky Progg with White Pikmin
You Can fight it later in the game with any Pikmin but it kills whites,its not poison its death.
Édit:you fight the smokey progg in the boss rush of the game,i Never knew it was in the game. Until the boss rush
@@WillyLongLegs so Smokey progg is death,straight up to the Pikmin?
@@Mr.Feather130 Its insta death if the pikmin touches its trail
I surprise there’s more than one
OH NO
How do you get the full game?
...
buy it.
Not near as hard as it was in Pikmin 1 unfortunately. Glow Pikmin being immune to everything, including the Smoky Progg’s poison, will tend to do that
His smoke can easily kill glow pikmin
Ngl i don't like it's new design, I wish they just remade the old one, that one was awesome
