Strategy

Do not attack PuPu if you are completing the sidequest for its unique card. Equip the Item command and give PuPu five Elixirs, one at a time, when it asks for them; after the fifth, the battle ends and the PuPu Card is awarded. Killing PuPu instead ends the quest without the card, so multi-target attacks, Counter, and automatic damage effects should be avoided if there is any chance they could trigger accidentally. The enemy itself poses almost no combat threat. There are alternative rewards for defeating or Devouring it, but the card is unique and is normally the more valuable completion reward.

UFO?

A mysterious UFO encountered around the world during the PuPu sidequest.

Strategy

The UFO? encounter becomes available only after witnessing all four earlier UFO sightings, and the UFO itself does not meaningfully fight back. There is no need for elaborate defensive preparation; ordinary physical attacks, Demi-style percentage damage, or other reliable offense will bring it down safely. Defeating it is important because it advances the PuPu sidequest and yields an Aegis Armlet, so do not run from the encounter if the quest reward is the goal. Unlike most optional enemies, this battle is more about completing the event chain than surviving a dangerous moveset, so conserve rare items for the PuPu encounter that follows.
