Editing Nectar

{{game icons|p=y|p2=y|p3=y|pb=y|pa=y}}

 

'''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}}.

====Prima Guide====

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.

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]].

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

These types of nectars have been obtainable since the game's release, but there are also other nectar types that have been added since. Poinsettia nectar was added on {{date|18|December|2021}}, and comes in red and white varieties, and is currently obtainable from blooming [[Big Flower]]s and completing [[challenge]]s.

In addition, there is 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.

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 makes an appearance in ''[[Nintendo Land]]'''s attraction ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. 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.

If the player isn't doing very well on a specific stage, the game will eventually spawn a rainbow "!" block near the starting point. Once this block is broken, a large drop of nectar appears that, when collected, instantly evolves all players to level 50.
