Yellow: Basically anything. His electrical properties give some great knockback and damage.
Red: Again, basically anything. Can set up some great combos, and has good knockback.
Blue: Sort of the average pikmin. Best used in levels where there are lots of water; it can survive there, unlike the other colors.
Purple: Very strong, but very short reach. Best for fair. Grabbing range is poor. Side-b knockback is useful.
White: Side-b is where it's most affective. Small durability, though.

Grabs: White sets up combos, all the others basically can kill with fthrow and bthrow. Uthrow and dthrow lead into combos for every pikmin. Aerials, all are great except for white.

White: mainly for throwing use projectiles not really for grabbing and they die too easily which is part of it.

Blue: they are used for grapples and have a stronger throw well an alot stronger throw compared to the other pikmins im suggesting f-throw or back throw.

Purple: used for ledge hoggers i believe, i don't like them so i just throw them at the opponent.
i don't use them very often but maybe good for smashes. They don't got good reach so be creative.

yellow: mainly anything, its second best when it comes to throwing.

red: mainly anything better aerials though.

this is the damage guide to nc-echos thread.
