'''Nectar''' ({{j| | '''Nectar''' ({{j|大地のエキスを|Daichi no ekisu o}}, lit.: "Earth extract") is a substance that increases the [[maturity]] of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], usually to the flower stage. It comes in the form of large drops of liquid that Pikmin can drink. It works quite differently in the main series and {{pb}}. | ||

In {{p3}}, a single drop of nectar can flower 10 Pikmin. When a single Pikmin drinks from a drop of nectar, it will drink one tenth of the drop. Thus it is not possible for an entire large squad to be flowered from a single drop, but is it also not possible to waste a drop on a single Pikmin. | In {{p3}}, a single drop of nectar can flower 10 Pikmin.

In {{pb}}, unlike the usual blobs seen in other games in the series that can feed multiple Pikmin, nectar takes the appearance of translucent colored balls, similar to the orb that a [[Honeywisp]] carries, that are fed to Pikmin individually in the Pikmin garden screen. A large ball of nectar appears at the bottom of the screen and can be swiped up to throw a small ball towards the Pikmin. Pikmin run towards the ball and whichever one picks it up gets to drink it, blooming in the process. If no Pikmin picks it up after a few seconds, it will disappear and return to the player's supply. Alternatively, nectar can be fed directly to Pikmin by holding down on the large ball and dragging the finger around the screen to give small balls to whatever Pikmin the finger passes over. This process works the same way for any type of nectar. The player can also tap a Pikmin to focus on them, and while in this state only the Pikmin that is focused on will be fed nectar. | |||
The most common, standard nectar type comes in four colors – in order of rarity, nectar, yellow nectar, red nectar, and blue nectar. These different nectars make Pikmin bloom standard [[Maturity|flowers]] in different colors. Regular nectar produces white flowers and does not bloom leaf Pikmin straight to the flower stage, instead blooming them from leaf to bud and bud to flower in two steps. Yellow, red, and blue nectars produce flowers of those colors, respectively, and bloom Pikmin straight to the flower stage. | |||
Two rarer types of nectar, rose and pansy nectar, can also come in any of the four colors and are obtained through completing [[challenge]]s and blooming [[Big Flower]]s. They take the appearance of a transparent orb containing an icon of the type of flower it will produce. When fed to a Pikmin, these will bloom that Pikmin straight to the flower stage, like the colored nectar, and the flower atop the Pikmin's head will be the type of flower that the nectar represented instead of the standard ''[[Chaenostoma cordatum]]''. | |||
An extremely rare type of nectar, called special nectar, displays as a faceted translucent magenta heart shape, and feeding it to a Pikmin raises its [[friendship]] by 1 heart, much more than the small fraction of a heart other nectar types increase it by. | |||
There are also some nectar types that can only be obtained during [[event]]s. So far, these types include red and white poinsettia nectar, which bloom poinsettias on Pikmin heads. | |||
There are | |||
When a Pikmin is bloomed into the flower stage with any nectar type, its flower will glow. Tapping on the glowing flower will add [[petal]]s of that color and type to the player's petal supply, making using nectar the main way of getting petals. Feeding a Pikmin also raises that Pikmin's [[friendship]]. If a Pikmin is fed enough times, its flower will disappear and the Pikmin will be unable to be fed for some time. | |||
[[File:Pikminbloom glowingbloom 2021nov14.png|thumb|right|150px|An example of the glowing effect on a [[Purple Pikmin]].]] | |||
On rare occasions after a player fed nectar to their Pikmin [[squad]], one or more Pikmin may continue emitting a glow with an additional blue tint and small lens flare effect. If a player attempts to collect petals from this Pikmin, it will keep giving unlimited petals of the nectar type it was fed last until the glowing stops. This lasts for approximately 10 seconds. | |||
Nectar is found primarily through collecting [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]], both from [[expedition]]s and from walking around. When a fruit is collected, it will add some amount of some type of nectar to the player's supply. The different types of nectar all have separate, limited storage capacities; this limit starts at 200 but can be increased with [[Shop|in-app purchases]]. | |||

Nectar is a common item that can be found inside "?" blocks, and appears as leftovers from destroyed enemies. Every three blobs, a player will level up. It takes level 5 to get a bud, and level 10 to get a flower. Players will also drop a few drops of nectar when hurt. | ||
