'''Hiding''' is a mechanic in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and {{p4}}. [[Leader]]s and their [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can hide from [[Enemy|enemies]] by crouching under specific [[plant]]s. When a leader walks under a suitable plant, all Pikmin and fellow crew members in their [[squad]] will gather close and crouch – [[Winged Pikmin]] will also lower their altitude to fit under the plant's covers. In this state, they are invisible to all enemies. If an enemy was chasing the player, and their army hides, the enemy will look around in confusion and head back, allowing the Pikmin a chance to counterattack. This will also work even if the enemy saw the Pikmin go in, can clearly see the Pikmin if they're hiding poorly, is attacked from within the hiding spot, or even if it is under the plant right next to them.

While hiding, leaders and Pikmin are normally invulnerable to attacks,{{cite youtube|W3qMdNXcmb4|showing how bosses are not fooled, and how leaders and Pikmin are invulnerable while hiding|rname=Scornet Maestro}} but there can be cases where that is not true.{{cite youtube|uWTHJhGlfXg|showing how leaders and Pikmin aren't invulnerable to snowballs while hiding}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1333853755876331520|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|1|December|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}} In [[Story Mode]], the [[music]] also quiets down while hiding. Most enemies seem to be tricked by this simple mechanic, but with hacks, it is possible to see that [[boss]]es are not.{{cite youtube|rname=Scornet Maestro}}

[[Swarming Sheargrub]]s can also hide under plants, as Pikmin do. Although not quite a form of hiding, leaders and Pikmin may stand under a [[Common Glowcap]]'s shower of light to evade [[Phosbat]] and [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] attacks. In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', [[Jumbo Bulborb]]s can hide in vegetation to ambush prey, though due to their size they will be easily visible. Also in ''Pikmin 4'', whenever the player enters or leaves a hiding spot, the player's Pikmin count will temporarily reach 0 as proven by the [[HUD]], and the standby Pikmin type will then be reset to the first available in the squad, the first being whichever one is decided internally by the game.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1686853046717087744|Twitter video of the standby type resetting|Twitter|published={{date|2|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|2|August|2023}}}}
