If timed correctly, they can be stuck in these moments longer than normal. Ice Pikmin are also useful as a backup in case an enemy ends up eating a lot of Pikmin. In that case, the enemy will be frozen, and the player will have a chance to either destroy the enemy or flee the battle. [[White Pikmin]] can also be used for a similar purpose, though they deal damage to the enemy rather than temporarily freezing it. | ||
