The Ultimate Pikmin Enemy Tier List

In this video I rank every pikmin enemy in Pikmin 4. The rankings are based on how difficult it is to defeat an enemy on average.
Every single enemy is ranked individually. However, I've had to merge some timestamps as none were appearing (limit of 100 timestamps or less)

Imagine being the emperor bulblax and you relies that you’re as dangerous as a baby bulborb

[ekyanso]

Thank you for making a "friend not foe" tier. It annoys me when people judge the neutral/helpful creatures as if they're just bad at being enemies.
Having spectralids flying around or the mamuta vibing in the arcadia, imo those moments make the world feel more alive and like a real ecosystem.

[binb]

the piklopedia actually talks about how emperor bulblaxes live in groups while sovereign bulblaxes live alone, so it makes sense why there’s almost always more than one emperor at a time

[CannonKid]

8:33 Actually if the Arctic Cannon Beetle is able to suck in some of your Pikmin, it kills half of them and shoots the other half in a snowball. Example: 14 Pikmin are sucked in. 7 die. The other 7 are shot out in a snowball.

[Nickk-vt]

That giant fiery blowhog actually ended up killing Olimar in the shipwreck tales mode for me. That thing is a force to be reckoned with! Sure, he doesn’t effect red Pikmin, but all of your captains and other Pikmin are still at risk from it. Should be higher imo.

[Zegaexiron]

20:55 I didn't realize this thing made your pikmin dance. I remembered what it did in the first game and wanted to avoid losing a lot of pikmin so I fought it as carefully as possible. I was worried over nothing.

[Invizeron]

Just wanted to give a thank you to everyone for all the support on the previous video and this video. This is the last tier list I'll be making for Pikmin. I've got other video ideas that I'll be releasing in the coming days so stay tuned for those. Thanks again.

[mrdrprofessorclay]

the giant blowhogs are super deadly in the boss cave if you didn't bring enough pikmin to one-shot it with a charge, it'll yeet 50+ pikmin off the level (from experience LOL)

[unowncommenter]

Fun fact: If you're fighting the big Glidemander, you can lose all your pikmin in 1 attack. I think there is an oversight where, if you're entire squad is attacking one of the "gold" pieces when it goes to grab it, all those pikmin currently attacking it will also be eaten.

[thebe_stone_MC]

12:56 i have never lost a pikmin to a man at legs in 4. in 2, it was buff, but in 4 you can just ride oatchi and spam pikmin at it whenever it isn't shooting, and it dies.

[musicsheep]

The Man-At Legs is actually hilariously easy. In Pikmin 2 it was hard but in this game, Oatchi can literally just run circles around it without getting hit.

[Nickk-vt]

I remember encountering the mama sheergrub for the first time and didn’t think it was a threat. After I beat the main story 100%, I saw it again in Olimar’s mode, and it killed so many Oikmin, and I was like, “What?! It can do that!?” Haha! It’s cool to be playing a Pikimin game with surprises and consequences.

[mr.j]

5:17 in this scene it looks like the emperor bulblax was like:AHAH I wonder which Pikmin I’ll eat fir-
*ded*

[zenosxaroc]

Awesome tier list. Really in-depth and thoughtful.

[colmustard]

Nice list! I do disagree with the Man-at-Legs placement, however. If you just run in a circle around it while it shoots then you’ll never get hit.

[ScubaShark]

The fact that this game makes you kill Mamuta for treasure not once, but twice, for 100% is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

[qarsiseer]

Honestly unless you find a quick kill, the Empress Bulblax fight in the tight room is easily the most difficult fight in the game. By far the most precise timing wise and missing that fraction of a second just means a wipe unless you ration out your pikmin carefully.

[andrewlyon]

I just love how whenever he says something like, "These guys are REALLY tough, and take a while to defeat, " he literally takes it down instantly 😂

[EthanWedge]

Fun fact the emperor bulblax is stated in the pikilopedia that they stick together in a pack like formation in younger adults and when they get to a certain age they become a sovern and go on their own

[CindertheArtGal]

Imagine a pikmin tier list on how enemies would taste to humans and not hocotatians
