 *In the original ''Pikmin'' (but not the ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin|New Play Control!]]'' or the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch versions]]), thrown [[Yellow Pikmin]] carrying [[bomb-rock]]s will become "ready". When [[whistle]]d, they will drop and activate the bomb-rock. In addition, if thrown next to a [[gate]] or enemy, the Pikmin will in turn throw the bomb at the target.
-*Throwing a Pikmin at a [[Pellet Posy]]'s pellet will make it drop it after just one attack in ''Pikmin'', or make it drop instantly from ''Pikmin 2'' onwards (this only works for 1 pellets in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'').

[[Winged Pikmin]] cannot do this unless thrown at a very specific spot on the pellet.
 *The following enemies behave differently when a Pikmin is thrown directly at them:
 **[[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]]: landing a Pikmin on its back deals half of its base health.
-**[[Anode Beetle]]: makes it flip and expose its weak point.
+**[[Anode Beetle]]: makes it flip over and expose its weak point.
-**[[Breadbug]] and [[Giant Breadbug]]: [[Health|damages]] it and make it temporarily drop its object. For the Giant Breadbug, this is only true with Purple Pikmin.
+**[[Breadbug]] and [[Giant Breadbug]]: [[Health|damages]] it and makes it temporarily drop its object. In ''Pikmin 2'', only Purple Pikmin can do this to Giant Breadbugs. In ''Pikmin 4'', Giant Breadbugs can be damaged by being crushed by the weight of ten Pikmin of any type.
-**[[Dwarf Bulborb]], [[Snow Bulborb]] and [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]: if the Pikmin is thrown onto the creature's back, it will die instantly. However, in ''Pikmin 4'', 2 Pikmin are needed to be thrown on the back of the ''Dwarf Orange Bulborb'' to defeat it.
+**[[Dwarf Bulborb]], [[Snow Bulborb]] and [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]: if the Pikmin is thrown onto the creature's back, it will die instantly. However, in ''Pikmin 4'', 2 Pikmin are needed to be thrown on the back of the Dwarf Orange Bulborb to defeat it.
-**[[Dwarf Bulbear]]: In the first game, throwing a Pikmin onto the creature's back deals a large amount of damage to it, but doesn't kill it; from ''Pikmin 2'' onward (and in the ''New Play Control!'' and Nintendo Switch versions of the first game), it kills them instantly. In ''Pikmin 4'', landing a Pikmin on its back deals one third of it's base health.

 **[[Dwarf Frosty Bulborb]]: throwing an [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[Glow Pikmin]] onto the creature's back will kill it instantly, other Pikmin types will be [[ice|frozen]].
 **[[Honeywisp]]: makes it drop its [[nectar]] (in the first game) or [[egg]] (in the second and fourth games) instantly and fly away.
 **[[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] and [[Doodlebug]]: makes it flip in the air and drop some spoils.
-**[[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]] and [[Moldy Slooch]]: landing any type of Pikmin on the [[Toxstool]] growths deals a sizeable chunk of damage.
+**[[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]] and [[Moldy Slooch]]: landing any type of Pikmin on the [[Toxstool]] growths deals a sizeable chunk of damage. However, it also releases a cloud of [[poison]] which will affect any Pikmin that aren't White Pikmin or Glow Pikmin.
 **[[Shearwig]]: if airborne, the creature dies right away in the first two games. in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', it instead reduces them to ⅓ health and knocks them to the ground.
 **[[Skitter Leaf]] and [[Desiccated Skitter Leaf]]: throwing a Pikmin onto either one of the creature's back will instantly kill them.

 *When a [[Blue Pikmin]] is thrown at the [[Goolix]]'s larger core, while the creature is stretched, the two cores will slam against one another, and all Pikmin attacking the smaller core will scatter around.
 *A Pikmin that is thrown at the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] or [[Horned Cannon Beetle]]'s blowhole while it's sucking in air will become trapped in it and make it overheat, exposing its weak point. After the Cannon Beetle covers its weak point again, the Pikmin will come out unharmed.
-*The shockwaves made by a Purple Pikmin landing after being thrown will make a [[Waterwraith]] temporarily vulnerable.
+*The shockwaves made by a Purple Pikmin landing after being thrown will make a [[Waterwraith]] temporarily vulnerable. In ''Pikmin 4'', Purple Pikmin can also be thrown directly at the Waterwraith to make it vulnerable.
-*A thrown Purple Pikmin can destroy [[Armored Cannon Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]] and [[Decorated Cannon Beetle Larva]] rocks in ''Pikmin 2''.
+*A thrown Purple Pikmin can destroy rocks fired by [[Armored Cannon Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae]] and [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s in ''Pikmin 2''.
 *In {{p3}}, Rock Pikmin thrown at [[crystal]]s deal more damage to them than just running into or charging at them. This is no longer the case in {{p3d}}, where Rock Pikmin attacking or charging crystals deals the same amount of damage as being thrown at them.
 *In ''Pikmin 3'', any kind of Pikmin thrown at a [[Grub-dog family|grub-dog]]'s eyes will cause it to recoil and spit out any Pikmin it may have started to eat.
