Notably, this will almost always deal less damage than a slam from a [[Purple Pikmin]], which works similarly. An exception to this is the eyes of the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] which take more damage from Rock Pikmin. | ||

*When rushing frozen enemies with Rock Pikmin in this way, the Rock Pikmin can deal increased damage depending on the enemy. This bonus damage does not apply when Rock Pikmin are thrown, only when included in a rush. For example, the [[Horned Cannon Beetle]] will take around double the damage it typically takes from Rock Pikmin impacts, meaning 100 Rock Pikmin rushing on Oatchi can defeat these beasts in one rush. | |||
