'''Electricity''' is a [[hazard]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], whose danger varies greatly depending on the game and situation. It presents itself in the form of high current, which neither the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] nor [[leader]]s can normally handle, making touching an electrified object or current a dangerous action, with effects ranging from temporary paralysis to instant death. [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Bulbmin]], and [[Glow Pikmin]] are completely immune to electricity. | |||

In '' | In ''Pikmin 3'', electricity returns, but is no longer fatal. Any non-Yellow Pikmin that touches an electrical current will get zapped, but will merely be sent back and will lie on the floor. In this state, the Pikmin will gain a blue aura, and emit some quiet shrieks; every so often, it will also have a convulsion. The Pikmin will not die from the electrical shock, but if not [[whistle]]d back, it will not get up on its own. As soon as it is whistled, it returns to normal. While under this state, Pikmin will not be affected by [[explosion]]s. | ||
Leaders will suffer the exact same effect if they get electrocuted, and will also return to normal once they get up. In ''Pikmin 3'', the player's leader can get up faster if the main control stick is [[Controls#Button mashing|twirled]] enough; a prompt above the leader's head will notify the player of the action they need to perform. Regardless, any leader will get up by themselves eventually; in ''Pikmin 3'' this is after some seconds, but in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' it is right afterwards. | Leaders will suffer the exact same effect if they get electrocuted, and will also return to normal once they get up.

Electricity returns in ''Pikmin 4'' and can be fatal. However, unlike ''Pikmin 2'', it does not kill instantly. Instead, Pikmin that are not invulnerable will be knocked to the floor and start convulsing as electricity courses their body. If they are not [[whistled]] in roughly 5 seconds, they will die. | |||
Depending on the source of the shock, leaders may or may not take [[health|damage]]. Leaders will not be affected by electricity at all if the [[Anti-Electrifier]] has been collected. | Depending on the source of the shock, leaders may or may not take [[health|damage]].

The Anti-Electrifier is a [[spacesuit]] | The Anti-Electrifier is a [[spacesuit]] add-on in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''. Once salvaged, leaders will gain immunity to all forms of electrical attacks, fully ignoring any current, just like Yellow Pikmin. The exception is the [[Titan Dweevil]]'s electrical attack with the [[Shock Therapist]]: this attack will always stun the leaders, but will only cause negligible damage with the Anti-Electrifier. | ||

Yellow Pikmin handle electricity in a special manner, in that they are not negatively impacted by an electrical current. In ''Pikmin 2'', they simply ignore it, allowing them to handle electrical [[obstacle]]s that other Pikmin cannot. In ''Pikmin 3'', not only can they ignore electrical currents, but they can also interact with them to achieve certain goals. This is the case with the [[electrode]]: a pair of wire ends that can carry current from one end to another. When an electrode is first found, the electricity circuit is not closed, but Yellow Pikmin can be thrown between the two wire ends, where they will hold hands and, once the gap is closed, allow the current to flow through their bodies, and from one end to the other.
