The Horsetail (ツクシ?, lit.: "Horsetail") is a plant found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It has a brownish color and stiffly sticks out of the ground like a post. This hardy plant can survive in soil conditions with few nutrients, but is still very rarely seen, only appearing in two overworld locations, one cave, and four challenge mode levels. Horsetails, unlike most plants, have retained the primitive method of reproducing via spores.
Notes
Olimar's notes
“This variety of horsetail is prevalent in regions with low nutrient content in the soil. Unlike most other plants, this particular species propagates itself through the release of spores.”
Louie's notes
“Remove and discard the primitive, scaly leaves, then blanch the tender stock in a buttery broth.”
Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide[edit]
“Much like foxtails, horsetails are tall and majestic. They thrive in soil that doesn't have enough nutrients for other types of plants.”
