Winged Pikmin are capable of flight, and are always flying in the air. They can carry items above the ground and also appear to be able to automatically dodge falling objects.

Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow captains even if they're walking in an area inaccessable to most Pikmin types, such as a small pond or other body of water.
