In general, Olimar is a tough matchup because you need to learn the ins and outs of each pikmin, how they affect his pikmin dependent moves, and what order they come out in. Often times people will be too intimidated by his wall of pikmin to approach but if they're just using their neutral B wantonly, don't be afraid to take the pikmin with no knockback to the face. Often times the red, blue, and yellow pikmin do such little damage it's a great trade for breaking his zone.

You should play more aggresively. A lot of Diddy's I've seen when watching streams are very patient and thus get destroyed by Olimar. In the top 8 of apex 2015, dabuz(the campiest of them all) used Olimar against Mew2King's campy Diddy and M2K was taken out of the tourney, when dabuz played ZeRo he tried to camp him out and got 3-0'd because of how aggressive ZeRo's Diddy was and kept breaking his zone.
