In the {{ps}}, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[ | In the {{ps}}, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s need to engage in '''combat''' against the many different [[enemies]] they encounter. Combat is a core mechanic of the series, as it is frequently required to open up paths or retrieve [[:Category:Collectibles|collectibles]]. The general goal of combat is to reduce an enemy's [[health]] to 0, but there are several ways of damaging enemies and many technicalities of the combat system. | ||

The main way Pikmin damage enemies is by slapping the enemies with their stems. The main way to get a Pikmin to attack an enemy is to [[throw]] it directly at the enemy; if it lands on an attackable location, it will start slapping the enemy. If a Pikmin is standing near an enemy, it will begin trying to attack the enemy, periodically jumping at it to slap it with the stem. There is also the possibility of the Pikmin eventually latching on and dealing damage at a normal rate. Some enemies, like [[Female Sheargrub]]s, are too small to be latched onto but have a small enough amount of health that they die quickly. Other enemies, like the [[Anode Beetle]], are larger but still cannot be latched onto. Idle Pikmin will automatically begin hitting enemies, [[obstacle]]s, and [[egg]]s if they are near enough.

In {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p4}}, [[swarm]]ing an enemy will cause most of the involved Pikmin to latch onto it, if possible, and begin attacking. In {{p3}} and {{p4}}, Pikmin that are [[charge]]d into an enemy will always immediately latch onto it if they make contact with it and if the enemy is possible to be latched onto. | ||
In competitive modes | In the competitive modes [[2-Player Battle]] from {{p2}} and [[Bingo Battle]] from {{p3}}, Pikmin can be commanded to harm other [[leader]]s or their Pikmin. This can be accomplished by throwing, swarming, or charging Pikmin into another player's leader or forces, although in 2-Player Battle, Pikmin merely need to be standing by the opposing leader or their Pikmin to initiate combat. In {{p1}}, [[Mushroom Pikmin]] can also attack [[Captain Olimar]] and his Pikmin in a similar fashion. | ||
Each Pikmin will attack with a constant rhythm, and as a result, having more Pikmin on an enemy increases the rate of damage. Different Pikmin types deal different amounts of damage per hit in different games, as shown in the following table: | Each Pikmin will attack with a constant rhythm, and as a result, having more Pikmin on an enemy increases the rate of damage.

In {{p2}}, | In {{p2}}, soon after a Purple Pikmin is [[throw]]n, it will halt its momentum mid-air and plummet to the ground very quickly. If there are any enemies nearby, it will attempt to move towards the nearest enemy's center whilst it is descending. When a Purple Pikmin latches onto an enemy this way, the force of a Purple Pikmin slamming into an enemy hurts it and very briefly causes the it to freeze in place. For most enemies, a Purple Pikmin's slam deals 50 damage, but for the [[Segmented Crawbster]], [[Waterwraith]], and [[Emperor Bulblax]] it is 10 damage. | ||
Each slam also has a chance of stunning an enemy. For most enemies, this chance is 30%, but some enemies have higher or lower chances. When an enemy is stunned, it is frozen and does not move, usually for 5 seconds, though a few enemies have longer stun times. | |||
In {{p3}}, while the slam does exist, it does not damage enemies. Throwing a Purple Pikmin onto an enemy will result in the Pikmin going idle on top of it, before slipping off its body; only when the Purple Pikmin touches the ground can it attack. | |||
In {{p4}}, the slam is set to do proportional damage to the enemy, similarly to how Rock Pikmin are handled in ''Pikmin 3''; meaning that the amount of damage done varies from enemy to enemy. | |||

Pikmin do not seem to have health that can be depleted, although this is hard to confirm, as explained [[Health#Pikmin|here]]. During combat they can still be harmed. In ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'', Pikmin that are knocked down by an enemy have a chance of their maturities being reduced as explained [[Maturity#Decreasing|here]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that are shaken off of an enemy or fall off of one will retain their maturities. In any ''Pikmin'' game, Pikmin that are shaken off of an enemy will briefly lie on the ground before getting up, but this is not always the case. Pikmin battling a [[Shaggy Long Legs]] that fall off one of its legs after picking the hairs off one of its joints will get up on their own, but Pikmin the creature shakes off normally will remain on the ground indefinitely until they are [[whistle]]d, as bumping into them does nothing. | Pikmin do not seem to have health that can be depleted, although this is hard to confirm, as explained [[Health#Pikmin|here]].

Flower-stage Pikmin that die in ''Pikmin'' have a chance of leaving behind a seed that becomes a [[sprout]] the following day and can be plucked. Hazards like [[fire]], [[water]], and [[poison]] will respectively cause all but [[Red Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], and [[White Pikmin]] to begin scrambling wildly with that corresponding hazard on the end of their stem. Enemies in ''Pikmin 2'' that use [[electricity]] are arguably the deadliest, as electricity in that game can instantly kill Pikmin. Electricity in ''Pikmin 3'', however, is harmless, only causing non-[[Yellow Pikmin]] that come in contact with it to be thrown back, onto the ground, paralyzed, until they are [[whistle]]d. | Flower-stage Pikmin that die in ''Pikmin'' have a chance of leaving behind a seed that becomes a [[sprout]] the following day and can be plucked.

Enemies have a variety of ways to harm or kill Pikmin, such as [[#Shaking|shaking them off]], deflowering them, burying them, crushing them, eating them, or using another hazard against them. Most enemies have a limit on how many Pikmin they can kill or harm at once in a given [[#Attacking|attack]]. For example, a Spotty Bulborb in ''Pikmin'' can only gobble 3 Pikmin at most in a single chomp, but a [[Spotty Bulbear]] can capture up to 5. Some enemies can also harm other enemies or themselves; a prime example is the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]], a creature that spits boulders which can be led into other enemies or even the creature that launched it. | Enemies have a variety of ways to harm or kill Pikmin, such as [[#Shaking|shaking them off]], deflowering them, burying them, crushing them, eating them, or using another hazard against them.
