'''Nectar weed''' is found in a number of overground areas in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], and resembles a patch of long grass. Its purpose for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] is as a source of [[nectar]]: they can extract pools of nectar from it seemingly by [[pluck]]ing out single leaves of grass. Unlike [[egg]]s, these will only ever contain nectar, not [[spray drop]]s. The amount of nectar contained inside a patch is [[Randomness|random]], and it is possible to have no drops of nectar appear. Only five Pikmin can be pulling a patch of nectar weed at a time.
'''Nectar Weed''' is found in a number of overground areas in both [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]], and resembles a patch of long grass. Its purpose for [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] is as a source of [[Nectar]]: they can extract pools of Nectar from it seemingly by plucking out single leaves of grass. There is no need to swarm the Pikmin to the patch, as they will attempt to use it whenever they walk over it. Only five Pikmin can be pulling a patch of nectar weed at a time.


There is no need to [[Group move|swarm]] the Pikmin to the patch, as they will attempt to use it whenever they walk near it. Given how mundane and camouflaged these leaves of grass are, it is likely that Pikmin were programmed to interact with them without the player's consent. Otherwise, the player would only realize that this particular type of grass is useful by pure accident, in the chance that they were to accidentally command a Pikmin over a patch of the plant. This does however have the drawback of distracting Pikmin when the player doesn't want it.
As with [[Rubble]], Nectar Weed can be found in every area of [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], but only in the [[Awakening Wood]] and [[Perplexing Pool]] in [[Pikmin 2]], and never underground.
 
[[category:Sprays and Nectar]]
Ideally, it is best to have five [[Maturity|flower Pikmin]] work on the leaves, and, with all leaf and bud Pikmin, use [[Group move|group swarming]] to keep the Pikmin in a tight circle around the patch of grass. By using an overhead [[camera]] angle, it's possible to get a better view on the location of the newly-uncovered nectar drops.
 
Nectar weed can be found in every area of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', but only in the [[Awakening Wood]] and [[Perplexing Pool]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and never underground. It should be noted that in ''Pikmin 2'', [[Purple Pikmin]] appear to stomp in mid-air, if [[throw]]n above a patch of nectar weed.
 
In ''Pikmin'', when a blade of grass gets plucked, there is an 8% chance that it will produce a blob of nectar.<ref>Code from the ''Pikmin'' disassembly, in <code>ActWeed::animationKeyUpdated()</code>.</ref>

{{title|Rubble}}
'''Rubble''' is found in small piles in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], and its use is exactly the same as that of the nectar weed. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] pass over a stockpile of rubble, whether directed to by the [[leader]] in charge or not, they will begin attacking the pebbles, causing them to [[Randomness|random]]ly give out pools of [[nectar]], until all pebbles have been destroyed.
 
===Locations===
Unlike nectar weed, rubble is fairly rare, appearing only in three areas and in very limited quantities in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], and only in two overworld locations in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
 
====''Pikmin''====
*[[The Forest of Hope]]:
**There is a patch near the [[Shock Absorber]].
*[[The Forest Navel]]:
**There are two patches near the landing area, one behind the [[Gate|white bramble gate]] and the other is near a few [[Pellet Posies]].
*[[The Distant Spring]]:
**There is a patch near the [[Puffy Blowhog]] and [[Spotty Bulbear]] closest to the landing site.
 
====''Pikmin 2''====
*[[Perplexing Pool]]
**One compound is straight across an open area from the landing site, on top of a stone ledge. It is near the wooden spire which holds the [[Impediment Scourge]]. The wild [[Yellow Pikmin]] [[Onion]] area is located just northwest of this.
**Another place that has rubble is the area between [[Submerged Castle]] and the stone foundation which has the [[Massage Girdle]] perched on it. This is in shallow water, so only [[Blue Pikmin]] may harvest it for nectar.
 
*[[Wistful Wild]]
**A pile of rubble is on the uplifted "ring" behind the landing site.
**Another stockpile of rubble is between [[Cavern of Chaos]] and the landing site, next to [[Doomsday Apparatus]]. The Cavern of Chaos is behind a rusted wall.
