The main way Pikmin damage enemies is by slapping the enemies with their stems. The main way to get a Pikmin to attack an enemy is to [[throw]] it directly at the enemy; if it lands on an attackable location, it will start slapping the enemy. If a Pikmin is standing near an enemy, it will begin trying to attack the enemy, periodically jumping at it to slap it with the stem. There is also the possibility of the Pikmin eventually latching on and dealing damage at a normal rate. Some enemies, like [[Female Sheargrub]]s, are too small to be latched onto but have a small enough amount of health that they die quickly. 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.

Each Pikmin will attack with a constant rhythm, and as a result, having more Pikmin on an enemy increases the rate of damage. Different Pikmin types deal different amounts of damage per hit in different games, as shown in the following table:

When a [[leader]] doesn't have any Pikmin in their squad, they can perform a punch, or in the case of ''Pikmin 2'' with the [[Rocket Fist]], a series of punches. The exact damage depends on the game and the type of punch. In {{p}}, a punch deals 10 damage. In {{p2}}, regular punches deal 7.5 damage, but after the Rocket Fist is obtained, the third punch in a series deals 18.75 points of damage. In {{p3}}, a punch deals 3 damage.
