I've been enjoying explosive pluck, but was looking for a way to incorporate it due to the clear constant loss of pikmin.
A basic tactic has formed that works quite well, if not what was intended.
With explosive pluck, you never want a full roster of pikmin, you always want the explosion to be available. This also serves as a nice deterrent for dash attacks as it comes out quickly enough to punish them hard.
Not sure if it worked this way in brawl as I didn't play Olimar much, but I've found if you only have 1 pikmin(clearly a purple), then they get used for all moves(with no delay between aerials)
So lately, I've just been tossing them over the side and keeping a single purple, while also using the explosion liberally. If the situation warrants it, I've no issue tossing a white on here and there for some nice damage, but mostly been playing a close up game with
Any thoughts or feedback as I'm far from a top player
