'''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.

Water in and of itself is not harmful to the Pikmin. Some bodies may be too shallow for the Pikmin to drown in, in which case they are completely harmless. [[Geyser]]s also spew out water with immense force, but all Pikmin types can still ride them. [[Rain]] in ''Pikmin 3'' also has no adverse effect on the Pikmin. | Water in and of itself is not harmful to the Pikmin.

Ice Pikmin are the only type of Pikmin capable of floating on a body of water. They will follow an underwater [[Leader]] as closely as they can on the surface of the water. Additionally, [[throwing]] or [[ | Ice Pikmin are the only type of Pikmin capable of floating on a body of water. They will follow an underwater [[Leader]] as closely as they can on the surface of the water. Additionally, [[throwing]], [[charging]], or [[dismissing]] Ice Pikmin will freeze the water, allowing it to be walked upon. The number of Ice Pikmin required varies depending on the body of water. When the Ice Pikmin are recalled, the ice will thaw out after a short time. | ||

At the start of the game, [[Oatchi]] is unable to swim: If he tries, he will immediately begin drowning, bucking all Pikmin on his back into the water. Unlike non-Blue Pikmin, he will not perish if he drowns, instead teleporting back to the last piece of dry land he stood on before he fell into the water. | At the start of the game, [[Oatchi]] is unable to swim: If he tries, he will immediately begin drowning, bucking all Pikmin on his back into the water.

After some time passes, three days after Oatchi has grown up, [[Shepherd]] will inform the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] about her breakthrough with Oatchi's fear of water, unlocking the Doggy-Paddle skill. | |||
Once Oatchi has acquired this skill, he can freely swim on most bodies of water, transporting both player and Pikmin. Upgrading Oatchi’s Doggy-Paddle allows him to swim faster and eventually dive a short distance to perform certain tasks underwater, such as carrying or fighting. | Once Oatchi has acquired this skill, he can freely swim on most bodies of water, transporting both player and Pikmin.
