The main way Pikmin damage enemies is by slapping them with their stem. Unless [[throw]]n directly onto an enemy, a Pikmin will stand next to them, periodically jumping at the enemy to smack them with their stem. There is also the possibility of them eventually latching on and dealing damage at a much faster rate. Some enemies, like [[Female Sheargrub]]s, are far too small to be latched onto but have a small enough health pool that they die quickly. Other enemies, like the [[Anode Beetle]], are larger but still cannot be latched onto. Idle Pikmin will automatically begin hitting nearby enemies, [[obstacle]]s, and [[egg]]s. In {{p1}} and {{p2}}, [[swarm]]ing an enemy will cause most of the involved Pikmin to latch onto it, if possible, and begin attacking. In {{p3}}, Pikmin that are [[charge]]d into an enemy will always immediately latch onto it if they make contact with it. However, Pikmin will still be unable to latch onto enemies that aren't much larger than they are.

Other enemies, like the [[Anode Beetle]], are larger but still cannot be latched onto. Idle Pikmin will automatically begin hitting enemies, [[obstacle]]s, and [[egg]]s if they are near enough. In {{p1}} and {{p2}}, [[swarm]]ing an enemy will cause most of the involved Pikmin to latch onto it, if possible, and begin attacking. In {{p3}}, Pikmin that are [[charge]]d into an enemy will always immediately latch onto it if they make contact with it and if the enemy is possible to be latched onto.


In competitive modes like [[2-Player Battle]] in ''Pikmin 2'' and [[Bingo Battle]] in ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin can be commanded to harm other [[leader]]s or their Pikmin. This can be accomplished by throwing, swarming, or charging Pikmin into another player's leader or forces, although in 2-Player Battle, Pikmin merely need to be standing by the opposing leader or their Pikmin to initiate combat. In {{p}}, [[Mushroom Pikmin]] can also attack [[Captain Olimar]] and his Pikmin in a similar fashion.

{{game help|p2|Describe the specifics of how poison damage works.}}
When a White Pikmin is eaten by an enemy, that enemy will instantly take damage from the White Pikmin's poison. The amount depends on the enemy and the game.
