With Pikmin 4 it should be noted how well ice pikmin combo with Oatchi's charge. If you have enough of them you can basically insta-freeze enemies on impact.
“Also purple so if they weren’t the best they still would be the best but they are the best so they are best” said beautifully I think i might want that on my tombstone
While I do generally agree that Reds are the strongest type in 1, I do think Bomb Rocks do a ton for Yellows especially if you're trying to go fast. I also gotta give shoutouts to Yellows in Pikmin 2 for basically trivalizing the otherwise difficult Titan Dwevil. In terms of combat in Pikmin 3, I want to give props to Rocks for being kinda stupid strong especially against the major bosses. In particular the Plasm Wraith which would be a pretty hard fight if the boss had any real way to kill Rocks. And finally, While he's not a Pikmin, Oatchi deserves special mention for being gamewarpingly strong in Pikmin 4, able to do anything a Pikmin can do but way better.
You forgot to mention that in Pikmin 2 purple pikmin have no onion of their own so you have to be careful not to lose any of them given that they can only be spawned via purple candypop buds underground, even more so since you need to preserve every single one of them for the Doomsday Apparatus treasure in the Wistful Wild area given that you need 100 purple pikmin to transport which takes a very long time to finish, even when all of them are flowered. White pikmin are the same, but not as much given that they do make good sacrificial canon fodder, but still you shouldn't be so reckless and wasteful with them. While wing pikmin are great for boss fights and cheesing still the rock pikmin do pack literal punches when thrown or charging as a group giving them some use that competes well with red pikmin. Plus they can't be crushed or impaled which makes them great in some battles, especially against the Plasm Wraith at the end of Pikmin 3.
Obviously he's not really a Pikmin, but Oatchi in Pikmin 4 is like. trivializes the game mechanics broken. I'd argue he's even more broken that P2 Purples and P4 Ice with how you can basically just use his charge with any layout of 100 Pikmin and instakill any enemy and most bosses - but he also works in conjunction with how busted the Ice Pikmin are. One thing I liked about Pikmin 1 is how each type was pretty invaluable due to how they each tackle a different element of the gameplay. Reds are needed for combat, Yellows are needed for puzzle solving, and Blues are needed for exploration. Even if Reds are the most useful, all of them are supremely important - whereas I feel like later games (especially 4) made the different types more situational - leading to ones you'll use constantly and ones that get ignored often.
"They're purple, which is the funny meme colour, so even if they weren't the best, they'd still be the best, but they are the best, so they're the best." - JessicaIn3D
In my personal opinion, since an ice Pikmin can freeze things very fast if they're small, a one on one fight would go in the ice pikmin's favor. In a group fight however, the ice Pikmin could still win as long as there are no elevation changes, as the purple Pikmin could drop from a higher spot in order to create a shockwave to destroy multiple ice Pikmin at once. Pikmin have relatively low HP, so a few hits from either Pikmin could take each out.
I want to add for winged pikmin that their whole downside of dealing less damage isn't as big a detriment because they're in Pikmin 3 and can still completely fold enemies
Hey Pikmin! Is technically the most balanced out of all the games, since it has stages specifically designed around the Pikmin they decided to give you. So, Hey Pikmin! Doesn't have a best/worst type, they're all equal That doesn't change the quality of the game though
Pikmin 2 Purples would win, easy. Ice Pikmin need to attack several times for their ice to take affect, and in that time, purples could just... hit them once. Purples could also intentionally/accidentally trip and fall over before attacking, stunning the Ice Pikmin to make the fight even it even easier. Furthermore, it is well known that most people relate to Purple Pikmin on a deep level, often stating "I feel just like a Purple Pikmin" to anyone who will listen. Extending this thought process to Pikmin, it is likely that an Ice Pikmin would not even attack a Purple Pikmin as they see themselves behind the Purples' blank eyes. As such, scientifically and in all other manners, there is no way that an Ice Pikmin would win. Therefore, Purple Pikmin are decisively the most powerful Pikmin type. There you go, there's your engagement in the essay section XD
When comparing what pikmin types are best for combat (reds, purples, and rocks) each has their own synergies Purples work better when thrown since they deal impact damage like rocks, but latch onto enemies to deal the same damage as reds Rocks also have impact damage, but dont latch on unless its a baldy-long-legs. Oatchi would actually synergize better with rocks because when charging into ana enemy, the rock pikmin all deal damage as if they were thrown, which doesnt apply to purple pikmin. You can take care of the foolix very quickly this way Reds dont deal impact damage, so charging or throwing works either way for them
Ice pikmin would win. They freeze the enemy giving it no chance to fight back. Although purple pikmin stun the enemy too, some enemies can still break free.
100% Pik 2 Purples are better than Ice Pikmin. At least with Pikmin 4, the game still suggests that you should use other types, and in some cases it’s required. That is NOT the case in Pikmin 2, where a good chunk of the elemental hazards can be completely ignored and most elemental enemies can still be powered through with Purples.
You forgot to mention that in Pikmin 2 Purple Pikmin actually hom-in on enemies if you miss them slightly which is crazy Also I like Blues more than every other Pikmin (besides Purples) as a guy who beat all of Pikmin 2 with only blues twice and ONLY losing 4 Pikmin to Titan Dweevil I’d like people to keep trying to say they’re the worse
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 Okay and? My point still stands whether I’m good at the game or not Bozo, Blue Pikmin arw Greta Pikmin and the most useful and handy with areas and enemies
Purple Pikmin resemble Wario the most, so they win! I bet they smell like garlic (the most beautiful, masculine, and overall important smell in all creation.)
Purple Pikmin would easily beat Ice Pikmin. Ice Pikmin only freeze enemies gradually and a Purple Pikmin would be able to knock it down before it could be freezed.
Hi Jessicaln, I am writing to inform you that I have made a Pikmin ranking of how much I would want to put each Pikmin type in my mouth. Let me know if you would be interested in seeing this ranking as it may be useful to you as a Pikmin expert.
A purple Pikmin once shot me in the leg with a 1967 Colt .45 with a busted safety catch, so they would win
are you good?
As a bulborb i was slammed to death by these guys
Sorry about that :(
They could probably carry a gun by themselves
No way, the purple pikmin was going to Georgia?
With Pikmin 4 it should be noted how well ice pikmin combo with Oatchi's charge. If you have enough of them you can basically insta-freeze enemies on impact.
Purples would win an an all out melee.
This information came to me in a dream once.

Took the words right out of my mouth
the pointy nose IS the reason for the extra 5 damage. it has ALWAYS been. no one chose to pick it up
"pls leave a detailed essay in the essay section" lmao
pikmin purple and pikmin ice would kiss each other on the mouths
ERMM ACTUALLY ITS ICE PIKMIN AND PURPLE PIKMIN NOT "*PIKMIN ICE AND PIKMIN PURPLE*"
But they don’t have mouths…
You forgot to mention that in Pikmin 2 purple pikmin have no onion of their own so you have to be careful not to lose any of them given that they can only be spawned via purple candypop buds underground, even more so since you need to preserve every single one of them for the Doomsday Apparatus treasure in the Wistful Wild area given that you need 100 purple pikmin to transport which takes a very long time to finish, even when all of them are flowered.

Now again losing purples and whites in 2 would be an issue if the penalty for wasting days to get more were more than the president screaming at you
Glow pikmin are fucking unstoppable
I love that people love pikmin. That kitty cat model is sooo cute I want to play as one!!
Obviously he's not really a Pikmin, but Oatchi in Pikmin 4 is like. trivializes the game mechanics broken.

Also. I like how the ice pikmin have a custom model as if they were from Hey! Pikmin
Purples, imagine they stun the ice pikmin, and also crush a plenty full of them
Can you kiss the purple Pikmin?
I want to put the purple pikmin to bed, kiss them on the forehead, and read them a bedtime story.
"They're purple, which is the funny meme colour, so even if they weren't the best, they'd still be the best, but they are the best, so they're the best."
- JessicaIn3D
In this 24 page essay I will definitively lay out how Blue Pikmin are the best in the series, furthermore...
BLUES!?
Blues are hated by nintendo
i think purple 2 and ice pikmin would be friends and kiss :3
In my personal opinion, since an ice Pikmin can freeze things very fast if they're small, a one on one fight would go in the ice pikmin's favor. In a group fight however, the ice Pikmin could still win as long as there are no elevation changes, as the purple Pikmin could drop from a higher spot in order to create a shockwave to destroy multiple ice Pikmin at once.

Also spicy spray
Pikmin
Pikmin
-Pigman- pikmin
Hey Pikmin! Is technically the most balanced out of all the games, since it has stages specifically designed around the Pikmin they decided to give you.
So, Hey Pikmin! Doesn't have a best/worst type, they're all equal
That doesn't change the quality of the game though
Hard agree on Purplemin in P2 but Bulbmin are a strong runner up for me
Pikmin 2 Purples would stun and massacre the Pikmin 4 Ices before getting frozen, resulting in mutually assured destruction
Fun video! Honestly wish you went a little more in depth on the ones that aren’t the best, would’ve loved to hear your opinions
ooh good idea
Finally, someone who agrees ice pikmin are tthe best
Everyone, spam Bulmin in the comments because they can't lose.
rock pikmin:bro i'm the best!!
Pikmin 2 Purples would win, easy. Ice Pikmin need to attack several times for their ice to take affect, and in that time, purples could just... hit them once. Purples could also intentionally/accidentally trip and fall over before attacking, stunning the Ice Pikmin to make the fight even it even easier.

As such, scientifically and in all other manners, there is no way that an Ice Pikmin would win. Therefore, Purple Pikmin are decisively the most powerful Pikmin type.
There you go, there's your engagement in the essay section XD
Ooooooooooh, quite the interesting question...Very well done 👍
1:53 whoa
my boys the wings are just the best I love them so much sad they got under utilised in 4 :(
Purple Pikmin easily:
-Strong and can do great impact to enemiesm
-Immune to wind.
-Purple
-Has the strength of 10 Pikmin.
-Cute chonk.
Now I'm wondering who the best Pikmin type is in Hey! Pikmin
Also Pikmin Bloom left n the dust....
When comparing what pikmin types are best for combat (reds, purples, and rocks) each has their own synergies
Purples work better when thrown since they deal impact damage like rocks, but latch onto enemies to deal the same damage as reds
Rocks also have impact damage, but dont latch on unless its a baldy-long-legs. Oatchi would actually synergize better with rocks because when charging into ana enemy, the rock pikmin all deal damage as if they were thrown, which doesnt apply to purple pikmin. You can take care of the foolix very quickly this way
Reds dont deal impact damage, so charging or throwing works either way for them
One time an ice pikmin broke my kneecaps with a hammer for saying they shouldnt bring back ultra bitter spray in pikmin 4, so they are the best type
Ice pikmin would probably win because the the purple pikmin wouldn’t even be able to fight because they would get instantly frozen
Idk, Purple Pikmin is pretty good, but the Minigun Pikmin from Hey! Pikmin is pretty busted
How could you do hey Pikmin like that💀
PET THE PURPLES.
Ice pikmin would win. They freeze the enemy giving it no chance to fight back. Although purple pikmin stun the enemy too, some enemies can still break free.
I would kiss the ice pikmin and the purple pikmin
I can’t choose between them
Pikmin 2 purples are literally godtier
rock pikmin are on TOP
Purple Pikman destroys everything
100% Pik 2 Purples are better than Ice Pikmin. At least with Pikmin 4, the game still suggests that you should use other types, and in some cases it’s required. That is NOT the case in Pikmin 2, where a good chunk of the elemental hazards can be completely ignored and most elemental enemies can still be powered through with Purples.
Pikmin 2 purples can teleport through walls and kill you irl
a purple pikmin broke both my legs and ice pikmin froze my arm and chopped it off so i believe that love wins and they wound make out
PURPLE ICE WINGIES GANG
You forgot to mention that in Pikmin 2 Purple Pikmin actually hom-in on enemies if you miss them slightly which is crazy
Also I like Blues more than every other Pikmin (besides Purples) as a guy who beat all of Pikmin 2 with only blues twice and ONLY losing 4 Pikmin to Titan Dweevil I’d like people to keep trying to say they’re the worse
Just because you are amazing at the game doesn’t make them the best
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 Okay and? My point still stands whether I’m good at the game or not Bozo, Blue Pikmin arw Greta Pikmin and the most useful and handy with areas and enemies
As a new pickmin fan why does everyone hate hey pickmin ?
Reds are the strongest of the original three because they can stab with their pointy nose
Purple pikmin would win because ice can’t kill pikmin. + one stun from purple is the fight over.
Purple Pikmin resemble Wario the most, so they win! I bet they smell like garlic (the most beautiful, masculine, and overall important smell in all creation.)
yellows best in ranged and purples best melee
Ice only have 0.5 power tho, I think pikmin 4 purples are still the best, that or glow pikmin
Good content
Can you kiss the purple pikmin?
Can you kiss the purple pikmin
Purpl
Purple Pikmin would easily beat Ice Pikmin. Ice Pikmin only freeze enemies gradually and a Purple Pikmin would be able to knock it down before it could be freezed.
Green Pi;kmi
dont skip hey pikmin :(
