Editing Skeeterskate

The '''Skeeterskate''' ({{j|ミズンボウ|Mizunbou|Watery Pond Skater}}) is a {{w|Gerridae|pond skater}}-like [[enemy]] that appears in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. It skims around the surface of the water, and attacks by shooting drops of [[water]] at [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s. It can be killed in one hit by throwing a Pikmin on top of it, just like [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s.

The Skeeterskate looks similar to real-life pond skaters, with a dark-green body with white stripes and yellow eyes. It has three legs situated to its sides and behind, each ending with orange protrusions, and a proboscis. A large transparent sac sits in its head, and is stored with water the Skeeterskate sucks up.

===''Pikmin 3''===

**Only one is found in the Twilight River in the second section near the plateau that contains [[Bridge|orange bridge pieces]]. It can attack Pikmin on the [[lily pad]]s so be cautious.  

**In the Silver Lake, four Skeeterskates can be found on the water in the southeast part of the map. Three of them contain a [[Cupid's Grenade]] each, while the fourth one the furthest southeast contains a [[Golden Grenade]].

**In the Forgotten Cove, two are found in the south of the lake in the west, near the [[Sputtlefish]].

**In the Garden of Hope Remix, three Skeeterskates appear in the body of water in the west where the [[Toady Bloyster]] is found during story mode.

**In the Fortress of Festivity, seven Skeeterskates are found in the level's only body of water in the southwest corner of the map.

**Four Skeeterskates can be found in Clockwork Chasm in the only bodies of water in the stage. In the east body of water, closer to the base behind an [[electric gate]], one Skeeterskate is found in the rectangular pool. The other three are found in the square pool in the west.

**Three Skeeterskates are found in the first mission of Olimar's Assigment, Pikmin Reunion. They appear in the water like always, one spawning next to the bridge but being able to transverse through the eastern section of water and around the Blue Onion, and the other two appearing near the water's edge in the western section of water.

**Skeeterskates also appear in two layouts in the Parched Brook, this time layout A and layout B. In both layouts the Skeeterskates appear in the northern and southern bodies of water, one for each pool. In layout A this lands them next to bridge pieces.

===''Pikmin 4''===

**Four Skeeterskates appear in the Serene Shores. The first one is close to the Blossoming Dunes base, being in the pool that separates the base from the Dandori Battle. The other Skeeterskates are close to this one. Going east, and to the pool near the [[Hermit Crawmad]], two more Skeeterskates can be found. The final Skeeterskate appears in the westward grassy section west of the Dandori Battle, in the southern pool, guarding pots that contain the level's 2 [[Chance Totem]]s.

**Two Skeeterskates appear in the first sublevel of the Doppelgänger's Den, both being in the main room north of the base in the pool with the [[Astringent Clump]].

In certain areas of the game, the player is forced to fight them without any Blue Pikmin. In this case, it is possible to walk into the water underneath, then charge at them with [[Winged Pikmin]]. If a Skeeterskate is close enough to land, it is also possible to kill it with any other kind of Pikmin with a single toss, but the player must be ready to rescue any Pikmin that risk drowning.
