Ice Pikmin’s freezing ability also makes them useful for enemies with moments of vulnerability. 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 bunch of Pikmin. In that case, the enemy will be frozen, and you will have a chance to either destroy them or flee. [[White Pikmin]] can also be used for this purpose, though they have a slightly different function if used in this situation.

[[White Pikmin]] can also be used for a similar purpose, though they deal damage to the enemy rather than temporarily freezing it.
