The Skeeterskate will skim across the water aimlessly until Pikmin are nearby. Once it spots Pikmin, it will inflate the sac atop its head and fire jets of water at them. A single shot of water will splash on the ground and affect all Pikmin within a small radius. | |||
Skeeterskates are easiest to hit when the water sac is empty, as they will stop to refill it, so it is a good idea to run behind it with [[Blue Pikmin]] and throw them at such a time. | |||
In certain areas of the game, the player is forced to fight them without any Blue Pikmin. In this case, it is possible to walk into the water underneath, then swarm them with [[Winged Pikmin]]. If a Skeeterskate is close enough to land, it is also possible to kill it with any other kind of Pikmin with a single toss, but the player must be ready to rescue any Pikmin that risk drowning. | |||

'''Translation''' | |||
{{transcript| | |||
The Skeeterskate moves quickly as if gliding on the water. Its main food is plankton, which it sucks up along with the water with its straw-like mouth. It is territorial and will shoot water at any small insects that pass nearby. | |||
Feature #1: Floating on water | |||
:The tips of its feet are covered with water-repelling hairs, which allow it to float due to surface tension. | |||
:(Image text: "Full of ultra-hydrophobic tiny hairs") | |||
Feature #2: Shooting out water | |||
:It sucks up water with its straw-like mouth and shoots it at enemies that enter its territory to intimidate them. | |||
:(Image text: "When the reservoir is empty, it sucks up water again") | |||
