Pellets are circular numbered objects that serve one purpose: to make your Pikmin army bigger. Pellets can be obtained in one of two ways: | |||
-Dropped by larger enemies upon defeat | |||
-Pikmin can be used to take down [[Pellet Posies]], which drop different colored pellets. | |||
(Work in progress, help clean it up guys) | |||
Pellets comes in four sizes, and each one produces more Pikmin. If the color of the pellet matches the color of the [[Onion]] it is brought to, more Pikmin are produced. If not, half of the weight of the pellet, rounded up, is the amount of pikmin produced. The number represented on the pellet is its weight in grams. They are found on the top of the [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground. Certain creatures of the Pikmin world also leave pellets as spoils at times: they have presumably eaten pellets, which could indicate the possibility that the same creatures are omnivores, if not herbivores. | |||
==Pellet Sizes== | |||
*1 pellet: The most common size of pellet and the only kind found on Pellet Posies in Pikmin 1. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 2 Pikmin, if not, they produce just 1 Pikmin. | |||
*5 pellet: A fairly rare pellet; these were found on the ground or dropped by enemies in Pikmin 1, but pellet-bearing Pellet Posies debuted with this pellet in Pikmin 2. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 5 Pikmin, if not, they produce only 3 Pikmin. The Pellet Posies for this plant are only found in the [[Valley of Repose]]. | |||
*10 pellet: These are even rarer, as these are only in significant places in Pikmin 1, and only four reappearing Pellet Posies with pellets of weight 10 are found in Pikmin 2: three in the Awakening Wood, and one in the Valley of Repose. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 10 Pikmin, if not, they produce 5 Pikmin. they are also dropped by the [[Toady Bloyster]] and the [[Spotty Bulbear]] (Day 30) in the [[Perplexing Pool]]. It is also dropped by the [[Fiery Bulblax]] in the [[Valley of Repose]], the one that drops the [[Temporal Mechanism]]. | |||
*20 pellet: The most rare of all, these are very large and very difficult to find; in Pikmin 2, there actually is a Pellet Posy for this pellet that regrows, which bears the only 20-pellet in existence! 50 pikmin can actually carry this, instead of the normal of exactly twice its weight. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 20 Pikmin; if not, they produce 10 Pikmin. | |||
The | |||
Many 10 and 20 pellets (including many 1s and 5s) are found in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 1)]], especially in [[The Forest Navel]]. | |||
==Destination== | |||
When carrying pellets, the number shown indicates the colour of [[Onion]] that is the item's destination; this can change if the [[pikmin]] carrying it are removed or others added. When a pellet in such a situation is carried, the majority of [[Red Pikmin|red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|yellow]] or [[Blue Pikmin|blue pikmin]] decides its destination. When there are no red, yellow or blue pikmin (purple or white only), it usually ends up at the nearest Onion to the start of the carrying. All of this is usually true, though random things seem to happen sometimes. | |||
== | ==Pellet Posy Colours in Pikmin 2== | ||
At the start of [[Pikmin 2]], all the Pellet Posies are red. The only colour of Pellet Posies that can be seen, without counting those situated where the Onions of blue and yellow pikmin are first encountered, are those colours of pikmin that have so far been collected. The Pellet Posies where the blue Onion is found are always blue and those where the yellow Onion is first found are always yellow. | |||
All other pellets constantly change colour, once every few seconds, between the colours of the pikmin that have so far been collected, in the order: red, yellow, blue. Pellets cannot ever be purple or white, or aid in producing purple or white pikmin directly. | |||
