Red Pikmin have spiked noses, and above average [[Combat|attack]] power, at 1.5× that of most types. This means they deal more damage when latched onto an enemy, making them especially useful in battle. | Red Pikmin have spiked noses, and as a result, have above average [[Combat|attack]] power, at 1.5× that of most types.

Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic. No explanation to their immunity is ever revealed. This ability is most useful in ''Pikmin 4'', due to the presence of [[fire starter]]s that only they can pick up and [[sizzling floor]]s that only they can extinguish. It is also useful in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'' due to the fact that [[fire geyser]]s are indestructible and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s are prevalent. Their ability is less useful in ''Pikmin 2'', where the geysers can be destroyed by any Pikmin, and Fiery Blowhogs can easily be defeated with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Their main use in the second game is for defeating [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, though this task doesn't always require them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they act just like in all other games, except they also have the ability to stomp out [[flames]], allowing Olimar or other Pikmin safe passage. | Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic.
