(→‎Pikmin 4 impact: removed the factoid that rock pikmin deal increased damage to frozen horned cannon beetles, this seems to be a property of how they recieve damage when their shell is not open as opposed to the rock pikmin's mechanics)
Line 257: Line 257:
*As with Pikmin 3, when thrown directly at an enemy Rock Pikmin will deal damage on a "hits to kill" statistic that differs from creature to creature, dealing similar damage this way as they did in Pikmin 3 while ignoring the defense boost granted to enemies frozen by [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[Ice Blast|Ice Blasts]]. Notably, this will almost always deal less damage than a slam from a [[Purple Pikmin]], which works similarly. An exception to this is the eyes of the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] which take more damage from Rock Pikmin.

*When [[Rush|rushing]] with [[Oatchi]], rock pikmin use the same "hits to kill" statistic as they do when thrown at enemies directly, typically dealing a large chunk of damage all at once.

*When rushing frozen enemies with Rock Pikmin in this way, the Rock Pikmin can deal increased damage depending on the enemy. This bonus damage does not apply when Rock Pikmin are thrown, only when included in a rush. For example, the [[Horned Cannon Beetle]] will take around double the damage it typically takes from Rock Pikmin impacts, meaning 100 Rock Pikmin rushing on Oatchi can defeat these beasts in one rush.
