[[Captain Olimar]] throws a [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] at an enemy, then the Pikmin latches onto the enemy and slowly racks up damage, similar to the effects of [[Lip's Stick]] Different Pikmin have different effects when thrown, such as additional throwing damage from a blue Pikmin, a curved trajectory from a yellow Pikmin, and knockback and damage instead of damage over a long period only. | ||
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', if Olimar wasn't able to [[Pikmin Order|direct]] the Pikmin to something, he could alternatively throw them to what he wanted them to interact with. Thrown at enemies, the Pikmin would cling to them and attack. Not very strong by themselves, the key to the Pikmin's power was to overwhelm enemies with large numbers of them. | In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', if Olimar wasn't able to [[Pikmin Order|direct]] the Pikmin to something, he could alternatively throw them to what he wanted them to interact with.

The Pikmin Throw is Olimar's most-often used attack (other than [[Pikmin Pluck]], obviously). However, the fact that only Purple Pikmin have any knockback makes this move difficult to master. Olimar's attacks require lots of training to be made effective. | The Pikmin Throw is Olimar's most-often used attack (other than [[Pikmin Pluck]], obviously). However, the fact that only Purple Pikmin have any knockback makes this move difficult to master. It should be used to repel incoming opponents that are charging at Olimar while he is throwing Pikmin (latched-on Pikmin do not cause an enemy to flinch, and so they can continue attacking normally. Purple Pikmin are the exception, knocking the enemy away and interrupting any attacks currently winding up.) Olimar's attacks require lots of training to be made effective. | ||
