I was practicing for a tournament with a friend. He was camping on the ledge as Ivysaur for a while, trying to figure out how to get on the stage safely, when this happened:

If it's been discovered before, please don't flame me for trying to share something new. If it hasn't been discovered, then the best name I've come with for it is "Stagepulling." I have not tested with this technique at all yet, so I do not know how many stages it works on, or if it can be achieved with any pikmin color other than yellow.
UPDATE: Okay, after the first testing session, we managed to replicate the stagepull , and these things have been discovered about it:
1. Olimar's distance from the ledge definitely enhances the efficacy of the move. The farther you are from the edge, the farther you pull them under the ledge.
2. Ivysaur is not the only character which can be stagepulled.
3. Blue pikmin have also been used to successfully excecute a stagepull.
4. The best time to excecute a stagepull would seem to be as the target is jumping toward's the stage from below, with approximately a 1/4 to 1/2 character length between themselves and the stage.
While the list of Characters stagepulling works on is dwindling, the discovery has revealed yet another useful piece of information: Olimar can grab an opponent before they even grab the ledge! If the timing of this could be refined, this technique could really boost Oli's ledgeguarding game.
