'''Water''' is the most common [[hazard]] and [[obstacle]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], since it is presented mostly through bodies of water that are a part of the [[Area|terrain]] itself. Water is a hazard to most Pikmin types, given that they cannot swim nor breathe underwater. The main exception to this is [[Blue Pikmin]], which are unaffected, making this type of Pikmin ideal for underwater tasks. [[Bulbmin]] are also water-resistant, but are only found in [[cave]]s. [[Winged Pikmin]] can also fly above the surface, making it possible to traverse bodies of water with them in the group, though they cannot be [[throw]]n when the leader is underwater. | '''Water''' is the most common [[hazard]] and [[obstacle]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], since it is presented mostly through bodies of water that are a part of the [[Area|terrain]] itself.

Any inapt Pikmin type that touches water will begin flailing at the surface. They will eventually stop and drown, resulting in a Pikmin death. Pikmin in this state might be saved by having them slowly flail towards the leaders, and luring them to dry land. Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'' will follow leaders automatically, but in the previous games, they must first be [[whistle]]d. Alternatively, if there are idle Blue Pikmin nearby, they can [[Throw|toss]] drowning Pikmin onto land in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. | Any inapt Pikmin type that touches water will begin flailing at the surface.

Bodies of water are not the only way Pikmin can suffer from a water hazard. Some enemies have attacks that wet vulnerable Pikmin in such a way that a bubble of water forms around the top of their stem. This is enough to leave them choking and running in panic. If they're whistled in time, they will instantly return to normal, but if not, they will eventually collapse and die. These water attacks will cause damage to [[leader]]s as well, and can knock them down. | Bodies of water are not the only way Pikmin can suffer from a water hazard.

Most commonly, water can be found as natural bodies of water, like lakes or puddles. Some other sources of water exist, and can affect Pikmin that are not Blue Pikmin or Bulbmin. | Most commonly, water can be found as natural bodies of water, like lakes or puddles.
