Punch

The President performing his three punches.

Punching is an ability that leaders have in the Pikmin games. This mechanic allows the leader to provide an offensive output without the need of Pikmin.

To punch, the current leader must be in a condition where they can punch, and the button used for throwing should be pressed. This will make the leader throw their fist and punch nearby enemies. This is a way to defeat enemies without using Pikmin, but it provides about the same damage that a single Pikmin can output (far less than even, that in Pikmin 3) although with the advantage of greater durability and dodging capability. As such, punching is not recommended as a primary means of attack, best used when the target has particularly low health (Bulborb Larvae are an excellent example), as part of a full Pikmin swarm, or while Pikmin are busy with other tasks. A leader's attack cannot damage hazards or other leaders, not even in competitive two-player modes. It can however damage Pellet Posies, nectar eggs, and other similar objects.
