'''Dodging''' is a mechanic in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that allows the [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to dodge attacks. This gameplay feature is not available from the start of the game – players must first retrieve the [[Dodge Whistle]] from the [[Distant Tundra]] in order to unlock the functionality. To use it, the player must press {{button|wiiu|padlr|wii|padlr|wiiu|pcpadlr|switch|padl}} / {{button|switch|padr}}, to dodge in the desired direction and avoid enemy attacks. It is not possible to dodge with a sideways [[Joy-Con]].

==Functionality==
When the button is pressed, the leader will quickly roll sideways either left or right. The actual direction depends on the way the camera is facing: the dodge happens either to the left or right side of the screen. If the player is [[Lock-on|locked-on]] to an object, however, the roll happens clockwise or anti-clockwise around the object (left and right dodges, respectively), all while keeping the same distance from it.

If the player is [[Lock-on|locked-on]] to an object in ''Pikmin 3'', however, the roll happens clockwise or anti-clockwise around the object (left and right dodges, respectively), all while keeping the same distance from it. Dodges in {{p3d}} are always in a straight line, based on the camera's orientation.


Any leaders and Pikmin on the party will roll that way too. The leader rolls on the ground twice – this covers a distance of about slightly less than the span of the [[Onion]]'s legs on the ground. Every character and Pikmin in the party will roll the same distance, from the spot they were on at the start of the command. Group members that are too far away will not perform any roll. There is a small delay until the dodge order can be issued again, but regardless, if done too frequently, it can cause some party members to ignore the order altogether; the main leader will always dodge, however.

This move is also the only [[Spacesuit upgrades|spacesuit upgrade]] to be active in [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]], even against the [[Armored Mawdad]], which would be impossible in story mode.
The move is given its name due to the fact that when the leader rolls, they [[whistle]] a specific sound, to order their group to do the same. This move is also the only [[Spacesuit upgrades|spacesuit upgrade]] to be active in [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]].

Another exploit is the ability to [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Remote-controlled Pikmin|control Pikmin farther away than normal]]. By throwing Pikmin at a ledge, [[whistle|whistling]] them, and dodging repeatedly so that the leader doesn't move from their lower ground, but the Pikmin roll into a target far away, it is possible to dismiss them near the target and get them to interact with it. In order to get the leader to not move, the player must make them roll into a wall.

If a leader rolls into a lightweight [[fruit]] (i.e. one that requires only 1 Pikmin to carry), they can slightly nudge the object. By doing this repeatedly, it's possible to push it somewhere else. This can be used, for instance, to push the [[Cupid's Grenade]] on the [[Tropical Wilds]] out of its island. It's also possible to move [[pellets]], [[Crystal#Crystal nodule|crystal nodules]], or unconscious leaders ([[Captain Olimar]] in Story Mode or [[Louie]] in Mission Mode) with this trick.

==Sounds==
[[Category:Gameplay]]
The Dodge Whistle is given its name due to the fact that when the leader rolls, they [[whistle]] a specific sound, to order their group to do the same. There are two sounds for this move: one for the [[Koppaite]] leaders, and another one for the [[Hocotatian]] leaders.

==Trivia==
*Pikmin holding [[bomb rock]]s will not roll, but will walk faster to keep up with the dodge.
*Plants stop almost all rolling momentum. If a roll starts on top of a plant, it will barely go anywhere, and if a leader dodges into a plant, they will stop moving once they touch it.{{cite youtube|FiIXNZSAs2M|demonstrating how it is possible to stop a dodge using plants}}
