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 don't drown at first, instead the water encases them which causes them to sink to the bottom of the arena. They don't drown instantly but if whistled will try to break out, simultaneously warming them up due to their frantic digging, and causing them to get out. They begin to drown and will rise to the surface, but a quick whistle at this point can save them, and won't dig out unless whistled, leading to neither getting them back until the end of the battle, and their assured safety until the battle is at its end. The Icewater Skeeterskate has a light armored carapace, making it immune to attacks from almost any angle. It 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. In order to defeat it, simply wait for it to run out of water and run behind it. Throw Pikmin at its eyes until their health hits zero, then attack the tube on its back that leads up to its sac and whistle your Pikmin when the sac is full, because it will shake them off. Repeat until its health hits zero. At this point, it becomes not only physically blinded, but blinded by rage at your squad. It begins to refill its sac, and then once it hits what was thought to be its maximum capacity, continues to drink more water. The entire arena is empty, and it's finally ready. It unleashes its final attack, a long lasting blast of pressurized ice-water, at you. run away as fast as you can, as while the beast can't turn around, it doesn't need to because it covers an entire half of the arena. after 5 seconds it unleashes its attack where you were when the 5 seconds ran out. Drops of water splatter everywhere and it punches straight through the floor, causing all the water to be drained out of the arena for good. The skeeterskate is now not only completely out of water, forever, and it can't even get around due to all the water being gone. The armor around its sac is broken due to the amount of water in it, and by simply throwing Pikmin onto where its armor is gone, the beast is vanquished.
