Rookie & Oatchi (Rave)

Rookie & Oatchi (レスキュートリオ, Rescue Trio) are the main characters of Pikmin 4 and appear as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Rave.
The Pikmin are voiced by Hajime Wakai and the Flying Pikmin are voiced by Atsuko Asahi, both via reused voice clips from the Pikmin series.
==Attributes==
Rookie & Oatchi are both a tag team character, with the Rookie being lightweight much like Olimar. Much like the latter, the Pikmin primarily fight for the Rookie, with Oatchi also helping out on attacks.
Oatchi can use his body to carry several Pikmin on his body after plucking them. The Pikmin themselves have their own unique tribute for each one:
* Red Pikmin deals more damage for attacks, but not as much for throws.
* Yellow Pikmin have larger hitboxes.
* Blue Pikmin have throws that deal more damage.
* White Pikmin have weak attacks, but have a longer grab and toss range, and deals more latch damage.
* Purple Pikmin are very strong, dealing large damage and knockback, but have poor range and can't latch.
* Rock Pikmin are immune to burying attacks and can deal significant shield damage, but have slow movement.
* Ice Pikmin are immune to ice attacks, and can freeze opponents.
* Glow Pikmin are immune to all physical attacks but are weak to magic and dark projectiles.
