'''Hiding''' is a mechanic in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. [[Leader]]s and their [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can hide from predatory life by crouching under specific [[plant]]s. When a leader walks under a suitable plant, all Pikmin and leaders in their crew 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 certain enemies. If one of the deceivable enemies was chasing newly-hidden prey, it will look around in confusion and head back, allowing the Pikmin a chance to counterattack.

Hiding is a mechanic in Pikmin 3. Leaders and their Pikmin can hide from predatory life by crouching under specific plants. When a leader walks under a suitable plant, all Pikmin and leaders in their crew 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 certain enemies. If one of the deceivable enemies was chasing newly-hidden prey, it will look around in confusion and head back, allowing the Pikmin a chance to counterattack. This will also work even if the enemy can clearly see the Pikmin, or is under the plant right next to them. While hiding, the music also quiets down, in Story Mode. Interestingly, Swarming Sheargrubs 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.

Enemies

The following sections list which enemies are known to be able and not able to be tricked by hiding. However, most enemies do not have plants in their range that one can hide under, so it is not possible to figure out if they hide or not without looking at the game's files.

Deceivable

The following enemies are known to be fooled by hiding:

Not deceivable

These enemies cannot be lost by hiding, and they will continue chasing through the hiding spot.
