In the {{ps}}, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leaders]] need to engage in '''combat''' against the many different [[enemies]] they encounter. Combat is a core mechanic of the series, as it is frequently required to open up paths or retrieve [[:Category:Collectibles|collectibles]]. The general goal of combat is to reduce an enemy's [[health]] to 0, but there are several ways of damaging enemies and many technicalities of the combat system. | In the {{ps}}, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leaders]] need to engage in '''combat''' against the many different [[enemies]] they encounter.

Each pound also has a chance of stunning an enemy. For most enemies, this chance is 30%, but some enemies have higher or lower chances. When an enemy is stunned, it is frozen and does not move, usually for 5 seconds, though a few enemies have longer stun times. | Each pound also has a chance of stunning an enemy.

In {{p3}}, while the pound does exist, it does not damage enemies. Throwing a Purple Pikmin onto an enemy will result in the Pikmin going idle on top of it, before then attacking normally. | |||
In {{p4}}, the pound is set to do proportional damage to the enemy, similar to how Rock Pikmin are handled in Pikmin 3. Each enemy has a set amount of Purple Pikmin thrown onto it before death. | |||

Each White Pikmin ingestion causes individual damage, even if multiple are eaten at once. Every enemy takes a different amount of damage from an ingestion, and this varies by species and by game. | ||

Additionally, some enemies such as [[Spotty Bulbear|Bulbears]] will foolishly eat them, defeating themselves in the process. | ||

Leaders and Pikmin, too, can be damaged during combat. As with Pikmin, leaders can be bitten, knocked back, crushed, and suffer negative consequences for touching a harmful [[hazard]]. Leaders can collect [[upgrade]]s, which can help protect them from damage. On top of losing health, leaders can also suffer other consequences from attacks, as elaborated [[Health#Leaders|here]]. | Leaders and Pikmin, too, can be damaged during combat.

In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin | Pikmin do not seem to have health that can be depleted, although this is hard to confirm, as explained [[Health#Pikmin|here]]. During combat they can still be harmed. In ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'', Pikmin that are knocked down by an enemy have a chance of their maturities being reduced as explained [[Maturity#Decreasing|here]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that are shaken off of an enemy or fall off of one will retain their maturities. In any ''Pikmin'' game, Pikmin that are shaken off of an enemy will briefly lie on the ground before getting up, but this is not always the case. Pikmin battling a [[Shaggy Long Legs]] that fall off one of its legs after picking the hairs off one of its joints will get up on their own, but Pikmin the creature shakes off normally will remain on the ground indefinitely until they are [[whistle]]d, as bumping into them does nothing. | ||
Flower-stage Pikmin that die in ''Pikmin'' have a chance of leaving behind a seed that becomes a [[sprout]] the following day and can be plucked. Hazards like [[fire]], [[water]], and [[poison]] will respectively cause all but [[Red Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], and [[White Pikmin]] to begin scrambling wildly with that corresponding hazard on the end of their stem. Enemies in ''Pikmin 2'' that use [[electricity]] are arguably the deadliest, as electricity in that game can instantly kill Pikmin. Electricity in ''Pikmin 3'', however, is harmless, only causing non-[[Yellow Pikmin]] that come in contact with it to be thrown back, onto the ground, paralyzed, until they are [[whistle]]d. | Flower-stage Pikmin that die in ''Pikmin'' have a chance of leaving behind a seed that becomes a [[sprout]] the following day and can be plucked.

While combat can be as simple as [[throw]]ing or [[charging]] Pikmin at the beast until it | While combat can be as simple as [[throw]]ing or [[charging]] Pikmin at the beast until it dies, there are a few tactics that players can make use of to minimize casualties and get the task done faster. Naturally, basic tactics include not submitting Pikmin to [[hazard]]s they are vulnerable to, and not going all-out when the enemy is doing something dangerous. | ||
As described [[#Enemy patterns|above]], most enemies tend to perform specific things at specific times. A player that is savvy of these actions is better prepared to deal with them, and is at a lower risk of losing Pikmin or leaders. On top of that, expert players can predict and even bait the enemy into performing specific actions so they can optimally punish them. | As described [[#Enemy patterns|above]], most enemies tend to perform specific things at specific times.

The other players control [[Mii]]s in Pikmin costumes. They can attack with {{button|wii|1}}, which will do a simple smack with whatever is on the end of their stem. This, in combination with {{button|wii|2}} to jump, makes the players able to utilize several attacks. When using powerups, some of these attacks behave differently. | The other players control [[Mii]]s in Pikmin costumes.
