Hiding is a mechanic in Pikmin 3. Leaders and their Pikmin can hide from predatory life by crouching under specific plants. When a leader walks under a suitable plant, all Pikmin and fellow crew members in their group will gather close and crouch – Winged Pikmin will also lower their altitude to fit under the plant's covers. In this state, they are invisible to all enemies. If an enemy was chasing the player, and their army hides, the enemy will look around in confusion and head back, allowing the Pikmin a chance to counterattack. This will also work even if the enemy can clearly see the Pikmin, or is under the plant right next to them. While hiding, the music also quiets down, in story mode. Interestingly, Swarming Sheargrubs can also hide under plants, as Pikmin do.

Although not quite a form of hiding, leaders and Pikmin may stand under a Common Glowcap's shower of light to evade Phosbat and Vehemoth Phosbat attacks.
