'''Flukeweeds''' are [[plant]]s found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They appear as curly pink sprouts. Most Pikmin don't know what to do with them, but [[Winged Pikmin]] will pull them out of the ground, often revealing an object attached to their roots, like a [[pellet]], some [[Sheargrub]]s, [[fruit]] or other things. When holding on, the Pikmin tug together at regular intervals, but if they are not enough, this action will do nothing to the plant. If there are enough Pikmin on it however, each tug will decrease its [[health]], until it reaches 0, where the plant pops out of the ground. If the Winged Pikmin are under the influence of [[ultra-spicy spray]], they will uproot the Flukeweed faster.

The objects that are underground attached to the routes can be made visible with the use of the [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Invisible geometry|invisible geometry glitch]].

The following items require a single Pikmin to uproot. A maximum of two can be put to work on the root.

* [[pellet|One pellet]]

The following items require three Pikmin to uproot. A maximum of five can be put to work on the root.

The following items require five Pikmin to uproot. A maximum of five can be put to work on the root.

On top of a waterfall on the [[Twilight River]], there is a '''dam''' blocking part of the river. It is a large stick that has three Flukeweeds attached to it. When ten Pikmin grab on, they pull the branch out of the way, allowing [[lily pad]]s access to that river. This obstacle is unique in that the flukeweeds do not have individual requirements and instead the Winged Pikmin automatically split into groups. Four will always go to the furthest flukeweed and three will go to the other two. The appearance and animation of these flukeweeds is the same as others.
