Buffing EVERY Pikmin Type in Existence

[@GodlyNib]

I think rock pickmin should deal damage against most enemies when they're crushed against hard surfaces. I get that rocks won't survive under those circumstances, but from the enemies' perspective, they're still stepping on a rock, and that shit hurts.

One issue I have with a lot of these "buffing pikmin types" videos is that the buffs are too complicated for Pikmin's gameplay, things like blues getting temporary buffs after leaving water or types getting secondary attacks is too much busy work in a game with at most 100 characters and a time limit, Pikmin's gameplay relies on a simpler approach

[@dooplon5083]

that being said the white pikmin abd red pikmin buffs could work imo, especially since that adds new obstacles for whites lol why the rock pikmin buff was a thing when they literally can already do that with oatchi and instakill enemies I have no idea lol

I though of increased carrying speed.

4:45 thank you so much for buffing Rock Pikmin, you don’t know how much this means to me! 😀

[@lasercraft32]

Imagine if every Pikmin had a unique charge action like Oatchi and the Glow Pikmin... that would be an interesting mechanic.

[@flarethetitanpea5358]

Hmm, let me try: Red Pikmin: They catch on fire and sets the enemies they attack on fire. Yellow Pikmin: As soon as they are charged, they will jump high once and if they dont reach anything, they will continue charging forward. Blue Pikmin: Will charge faster when in water of sprayed on by a geyser. Purple Pikmin: Once they hit their target, the shockwave will occur. Winged Pikmin: They are the glow pikmin but without the stun. Rock Pikmin: They stun their target once hit but can stick on them while they are stunned. White Pikmin: They charge and leave an acid train behind that can damage enemies when walked on. There can only be one and if they are charged again, the previous one will evaporate Ice Pikmin: They will make a shock wave that will freeze enemies and water once hitting their target. Extra pikmin i just made up: Web pikmin (Black): Will slow down enemies when thrown at them (by a bit), when charged, They will leave a web that slows down enemies if they dont encounter an enemy while charging. Sticky pikmin (Orange): They can be thrown on walls and climb up to maybe get treasures when oatchi is unavailable. When charged, they can stick on enemies and and resist the enemy shaking them off once, the next time, they are off.

Really interesting concept of buffing every type into making them strong in unique ways. I probably would've made all them busted in combat but thats probably because I think like a purple pikmin.

[@camilalindemberg4778]

All buffs are good. But I think Bulbmin should have an ability to eat enemies, and grow taller but it’s an anime in his size so in 4 days of eating enemies he turn into a jumbo bulbin I think that is overpowered. Cuz it will increase damage and other stuff like force 😊

[@KC-316]

Thats good but inorder to not have them be so op they can lose the size after a set amount of time and limit how much they can grow/eat

[@poken7691]

I really like the buff for Red Pikmin, especially since it makes it so other Pikmin can't attack the enemy without catching on fire themselves. This evens out the ability plus gives red's an added bonus since they're the only ones who can attack that enemy during that period

[@itssmelloww]

in exsistance THAT MEANS BULBMIN 🔥🔥🤞🤞

[@Olimarfrompikmin]

Maybe instead of getting wet, the blue pikmin could get a lite water drop on their leaf and it had like a one minute timer to be used. It could: Deal more damage And cool off hot areas But, it onlg has *one* use

[@elef5475]

in pikmin 1 i always though of the yellow pikmin as the "aerial fighters" of the group since thanks to his long jump there could reach the flying and talls enemies easier than the reds like, for example, puffy blowhogs,wollywogs or snagrets (and of course the arachnorb) if they were to get a buff i would really like for them to have something related to aerial combat

[@pancakesenpai6960]

I have 2 Buff Ideas for Winged Pikmin I would like to share, one for Transportation and one for Combat… Buff 1: When Winged Pikmin are carrying something with other Pikmin types, the Winged Pikmin will use their wings to create a light gust of wind to help the other Pikmin move faster while carrying. Buff 2: Winged Pikmin now have a new Charge Ability (Similar to the Glow Pikmin), when fully charged the Winged Pikmin will fly forward and when making contact with an enemy, they will gather around the top of the enemy and try to lift them up, when enough Winger Pikmin grab an enemy (The number needed depending on how many Pikmin you normally need to carry that Enemy) they will fly into the air and drop the enemy, dealing a good chunk of damage, stunning the enemy and releasing a shock wave on impact that stuns other enemies in the AOE (heavier enemies cause a larger shock wave). As a way to slightly balance this, the damage and stun duration is less on Bosses, and some Bosses will be unable to be picked up and dropped like Groovy Long Legs or Empress Bulblax.

[@oofdoof5409]

guys always remember we only have 57 more years till pikmin 5!

[@wizardly9211]

I sas thinking like about the rock buff like, "how is it sidegrade to purples when it takes longer due to charging? Shouldn't they need a bit more of a damage boost?" Then I realized, with a squad of even 10, that's enough to melt anything instantly

[@gaminggladiator06]

i do have a few ideas of my own, maybe one for each pikmin. reds: after standing in open flames, or sprayed with a special berry spray, reds' leaf will be ingulfed in flames for a duration of time. this will increase their damage output, and set enemies on fire, like your idea, with a bar similar to ice pikmin's to show when the enemy will be set alight. there could also be flammable walls in the way that can only be burned down, as well as flame pillars and torches that you can use to ignite them. i'll call the burries used for this "super scorch berries" and makes "super scortch spray" andonly reds can carry them due to their heat, which could also be a good visual clue as to which pikmin gets affected by it. yellows: i think yellows discharging electricity and affecting lightbulbs was rather underused in the game. my idea is that yellows can be super charged with electricity when coming into contact with a high amount of energy, like throwing them to batteries or power outlets. supercharged yellows will temporarily increase in attack speed, and can build up stun against enemies, much like red's fire concept. though they don't have a spray, they can handle lightbulbs much like holding treasures, however, this'll only be in dark areas, like caves or night events, and due to this darkness, will try to stay close to the captain. this'll be used to ward of titanic monsters, too big to fight, while illuminating the area, dependant on the light used. one cave could use a regular light bulb, while another lets you use christmas lights. you can also find certain spots near the end of the cave where a stationary light source is and can call your ship over, allowing you to deposit your light treasures. blues: blues are actually a bit hard, as they just seem so situational, so maybe instead of being more for combat, they'd be more for traversal. while above water, blues can spit water at things and enemies, and can extinguish hazard fires and fire enemies. this move is a charge exclusive, and i don't think throwing them on fire enemies would be beneficial, which could be a good strategy to give more optional incentive to use charge attacks, to make you think if it'd be more benefitial to fight with only reds, or risk burning blues to extinguish the enemy to let your whole squad fight. this spray ability can also water platform plants, and bloom flowers that release nectar and treasures. also, i think they should also have their lifeguard attribute back, grabbing stray pikmin that fall in water. my thought is that as long as a blue holds another pikmin, they'll float indefinitely until reaching land, targetting the closest spot, instead of trying to follow the captain. whites: honestly, the acid spitting idea sounds neat, like having certain walls in the way that only white pikmin can melt away, or enemies with armor plating that can easily be removed by white pikmin. since both oatchi and the treasure tracker can disclose hidden treasure, i think that ability might be tossed, but in it's place i think it should have yellow's fast digging ability. as it's the most mobile, it makes sense it'd dig faster, too, able to burrow through dirt mounds a lot faster than any other pikmin. purples: there isn't much that can actually be done for them considering they're already OP, but maybe they can have more traversal abilities instead. like in certain areas, you can find cracks in the ground that you can throw purples at to break the ground, revealing holes or buried treasures. rocks: pretty much everything in me told me for them was "bring back more crystal obstacles." i'm not sure why they didn't bring back the clear crystals from 3, it would've been more interesting to go through a level and see treasures and stuff in crystals to come back to once you had rocks. that;s pretty much all i got, your idea to have them roll when charging was a good idea. winged: besides better pathing and allowing the captain to glide, winged pikmin could use their wings in unison to make gusts of air, to turn fan obstacles and switches, or knock around small enemies too grouped together. ice: there isn't a lot that comes to mind about ice pikmin, maybe have more ice related collectables that only they can carry? idk, that's all i got. glow: i suppose they could have their own candypop bud to collect more underground, though less will be made than other buds. they could also have the same floating pathing like winged, considering they float and all. bulbmin: since glow pikmin are pretty much bulbmin in every aspect, apart from collecting them, they could be used in olimar's side-story, in place of glow pikmin, this time allowing you to take them with you , but not only are they scarce to find, but can only be used in caves.

[@dooplon5083]

@@BlouePickdMan you're wrong, lol, in pikmin 2 purples did 20 damage, 2x the average damage, whereas in 4 they deal 15 like reds typically do (downgraded to 10 with spicy spray but their attack speed increases which can sometimes be useful i think?). in pikmin 3 the rock pikmin do 20 damage but do a whopping _40_ per hit in pikmin 4, making them objectively the strongest type damage wise. If you're wondering why they seem weaker on the surface it's because they do their strongest damage when thrown or when youartack with the oatchi charge, which causes them to do their absolutely insane damage all at once and instakills so many enemies (unlike purples which need to be individually thrown for the stomp to activate which is much slower)

[@BlouePickdMan]

@@dooplon5083 Um i said purples have a stronger impact damage? When you throw them and they land on an enemy they do more damage than rocks. The 15 damage you got is from their dps (Damage they do while latched on) So they have Impact damage (Higher than rocks) AND also do damage over time with dps. i think everyone agrees that purples are better Not to mention their shockwave attacks.

[@someone_stole_mytoast]

Blues: After leaving water, they get a bubble that makes them immune to 1 grab and make their first hit on an enemy do double damage (i copied silohawk) Whites: Give them 1x damage again and make them 4x faster than regular pikmin Purples: Make their initial hit do regular damage but it has a 10% chance to stun enemies for 1 second Rocks: Make them not die to crush damage on hard surfaces and patch the spicy spray nerfing their damage Wings: Make them go over unbuilt climbing walls, unraveled ropes and pits and you can swarm/charge them in water Ice: Make it so enemies get unfrozen if they take enough damage while frozen Glows: Make them able to use firestarters and immune to mud

One way to buff puffmin is give them a mushroom trait, they can release spores that don't damage the captain or Pikmin, but instead when they hit the ground, they spawn more puffmin and these clones spawn more clones and so on, and when the one that released the spores is killed or cured, the clones that were spawn by it will disappear in a puff of smoke.

And using the lineup trumpet whilst they were creating a new road could let you steer the boulder like how cannon larvae shots can turn.

[@Manny4Life948]

Giving purples an actual barrier that only they can get through. There’s the strong boys that live underground, wouldn’t it make a lot of sense for them to break down thick dirt walls that only they can break down? Not only giving purples a use more than airbags and treasures, but also establishing a new barrier that makes you have to use purples to break down permanently.

[@zorana90x98]

One thought I have for the White Pikmin is, in the same way Purples have a chance to stun enemies on impact, Whites have a chance to inject poison into enemies. This causes a random effect such as slowing the enemy down or causing them to gradually take damage even if no other Pikmin are fighting them.

[@autismandgaming4532]

I think Pikmin 4 found a great balance for purples compared to the Godslayers in 2, and the good for nothing stinky bad failures in 3. For small enemies like Dwarf Bulborbs or Sheargrubs, there may nor be a better option with their powerful Slam radius. But they are a bit tricky to use against Larger enemies like Bulborbs, Chrysanthemums or WollyHops, with their low throw arc and Slam attack being hard to land against them. This isn't mentioning their 10 pikmin carry weight which can help you with Managing Pikmin resources (or in Pikmin community terms, Dandori).

An idea for puffmin: if they were implemented in later games, the puffstool should be accompanied by other enemies. killing the puffstool will give you back the pikmin it poisoned, but they will still be puffmin, and will have no special attributes and regular damage.

I don’t anticipate the return of glow pikmin, but if they had their own item, it should be glow sap globs that are like pikpik carrots but distract enemies in a larger radius that doesn’t get instantly eaten, but also doesn’t harm the enemy. Also I hope they don’t bring back the new single use items, Although I like how you don’t have to worry about your bomb rocks getting in the way, it really pushes pikmin to the side which I really dislike

for the acid effect, what, if they deal a stack of acid damage to any destructible structures, mainly walls. as they damage the structure, they add an acid damage as well. which will continue to tick down, dealing normal damage to all walls/structures at about half the rate of normal pikmin hits, and will remain even if you recall them from their assault. this allows you to send your pikmin to other tasks while their acid finishes the job, and makes whites excellent at excavation or clearing paths in a new way that suits their "underground" origin and high speed.

TBH when playing Pikmin 4 I kinda thought the fire one you gave Reds would work

Rock Pikmin should just get a flat buff to thrown damage, but could also be paired nicely with Ice Pikmin, dealing double damage to frozen enemies. Bulbmin should also be able to use their teeth against opponents and make them bleed, dealing a sort of damage over time effect. Puffmin buff would be they arent hostile anymore (after defeating the Puffstool enemy) but they are very weak fighters. They can be planted to create small mushroom obstaces to keep out enemies. Youd also be able to plant them in certain locations to grow into the bouncy shrooms. Being eaten by enemies would temporarily cause them to be disoriented. They wouldnt be deadly like white pikmin, but enemies would be on shrooms pretty much.

perhaps blue pikmin could launch water from a range to deal damage to enemy's! and large groups(about 20) winged pikmin could send a high knockback gust of wind!

[@echodolphonian5729]

fix for rock pikmin: literally just remove the increased initial damage on purple pikmin (they still deal more damage when latched on and hitting)

[@ArcheryBFAPU]

the red smoke is actualy Acid venom as revealed by the spanish traslation of the game just something nobody talks about

[@nickykue9716]

Like increase plucking speed or the dodge whistle I miss that one

The rock Pikmin having a weakness to dying by getting crushed on a hard surface is my greatest nitpick about them. The only exception to this is if they get crushed by something hard on the enemy, while the rock Pikmin themselves are on a hard surface. Soft enemies, like the Wollyhops for example, should NOT be able to survive crushing FRIGGIN *_R O C K S_* while they’re on a hard surface. This should instead, hurt them, dealing a bit of significant damage to them, sort of a bit like piercing damage to the enemy. If some enemy with something hard on them crushes a rock Pikmin on a hard surface, like the Waterwraith (with its rollers), then that’s understandable for why rocks could get killed getting crushed on a hard surface. With this, I’m turning their weakness into a buff, but it only works on soft-bodied enemies that can crush your Pikmin in general.

The best you can do to "buff" Pikmin without making the game brain dead is just adding new interesting obstacles It would be interesting if yellow Pikmin were able to put together electronics that do different things when you rearrange them.

[@tomato2011tomato]

I think that puffmin should turn other pikmin into puffmin.

[@Chara_Dreemurr1]

Bulbmin are just little guys. They are just a vibe... I hate how they were limited to one cave.

[@ClaireTreliving-ov2dp]

Be the thumbnail it looks like we're getting buff pikmin in the next game.LET'S GO!

How to buff Pikmin 4 wings: give them Pikmin 3 pathing

[@xlimez7]

the red hazard in pikmin 4 is called gloom

[@Games4Life7712]

I wouldve given yellows the ability to slightly shock enemies, dealing a little bit of damage and a very short stun

[@ShurikanBlade]

I know people think rock is pointless due to purple but also rocks are immune to being squished and peirced which means to certain enemies they have far more autonomy compared to purples

[@Xeroisawesome]

Pretty sure the red black effect is called Gloom.

[@dracodracarys2339]

jojo's pikmin adventure come to think of it, shigechi's stand harvest is kind of like pikmin

[@romansrevengethethirdstrik8086]

The intro I don't wanna give every pikmin a combat ability since not every pikmin is made for fighting Blue and white pikmin, the some of the least combat oriented pikmin: gets combat centric abilities.

[@dam777felover8]

My mind when I ear oachi buff Tears of the kingdom ost starts to play Collin: we will rely on your puppy and that rookie he carries, our last line of defence will be OACHI Sheperd: oachi... TAAAAANAAAA OACHI FLYING AND THROWING PIKMIN CAUSE CHAOS
