Ice Pikmin do not | Ice Pikmin do not deal very much damage in combat. However, when attacking enemies, or when eaten by them, Ice Pikmin will progressively [[freeze]] them, as represented by a ring-shaped gauge around the enemy's [[health wheel]]. Once the gauge is full, the enemy freezes entirely and can no longer act, though they do take reduced damage while frozen. Defeating a frozen enemy will make it shatter into chunks of ice without leaving a corpse, instead producing drops of [[nectar]] or [[ultra-spicy spray]]. Enemies that are frozen in midair will fall to the floor and shatter immediately. If not defeated after 6 seconds, a frozen enemy will begin shaking and eventually break out of the ice, knocking any attached Pikmin to the ground. This freezing ability is highly similar to the [[ultra-bitter spray]] in ''Pikmin 2'', though involving ice instead of stone, and not being instantaneous or able to hit multiple targets at once. | ||
Ice Pikmin can also be thrown into bodies of [[water]] or puddles of [[mud]], making them the third type after [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]] to be able to physically interact with water without suffering any harm; however, they lack the gills that Blue Pikmin possess and are only able to float in the water, meaning they can neither breathe under nor swim/explore the water as Blue Pikmin can. They are also susceptible to water-based attacks or other water hazards such as sprinklers. | Ice Pikmin can also be thrown into bodies of [[water]] or puddles of [[mud]], making them the third type after [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]] to be able to physically interact with water without suffering any harm; however, they lack the gills that Blue Pikmin possess and are only able to float in the water, meaning they can neither breathe under nor swim/explore the water as Blue Pikmin can.
