The Icewater Skeeterskate is a larger and stronger cousin of the Skeeterskate that spits cold water that chills and eventually freezes Pikmin that aren't immune to the cold. Cyan Pikmin and other similar Pikmin are immune to the cold water's effects. The Icewater Skeeterskate can shoot water in a few different ways: in a rapid-fire barrage, in bursts, or in a continuous stream. In a rapid-fire barrage, the Icewater Skeeterskate will shoot a rapid series of water droplets towards Pikmin and leaders alike, an attack that consumes the enemy's water slowly. In bursts, the Icewater Skeeterskate will blast large amounts of water at its targets, which will knock them down and only get more dangerous with proximity to the enemy. This burst-style attack will consume the enemy's water very quickly. In a continuous stream, the Icewater Skeeterskare will shoot a continuous stream of water, an attack that consumes the enemy's water moderately quickly. Because the Icewater Skeeterskate is large, it takes quite a bit of time for it to completely refill its sac, and while it does so it is open to attack.
