{{Clean|Update it with Pikmin 3 information. Also, add add the max number of carriers for each pellet size (don't forget that [[Glitches in Pikmin#3 Pikmin carrying a 1 pellet|there's a glitch]] that makes 3 Pikmin carry a 1 pellet).}} | |||

A '''Pellet''' is a nutrition-packed, crystallized [[nectar]] that contains vitamins and other nutrition. Pellets are used to produce [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by bringing them to the onion, and are the main source of seeds at the start of the games, as large creatures require many Pikmin to kill safely. Pellets come in four sizes, and each one produces a different amount of Pikmin. If the color of the Pellet (numbered 1 only) matches the color of the [[Onion]] it is [[Carrying|brought to]], more Pikmin are produced. At 5, 10 and 20, if brought to the same colored Onion, there will be 5, 10 and 20 Pikmin produced. If not, half of the weight of the Pellet, rounded up, is the amount of Pikmin produced. The number on the Pellet represents its weight. They are found on the top of the [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground. Certain creatures of the [[Planet of the Pikmin|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. | |||
==Sizes== | |||

; | ;1 Pellet: The most common size of Pellet and the only kind found on Pellet Posies in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. 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'', 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'', 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 rarest of all, these are very large and very difficult to find; in ''Pikmin 2'', there is actually a Pellet Posy for this Pellet that regrows, located near the [[Snagret Hole]] in the Awakening Wood, which bears the only 20 Pellet in the game. In ''Pikmin'', a yellow 20 Pellet, presumably grown from a 20 Pellet Posy, is found on top of a tree stump, where only Yellow Pikmin can reach it. It is located in the Forest of Hope. There are also 20 pellets of all 3 colors lying around in the back area where the [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s are at [[The Impact Site]]. There are many 20 pellets lying round everywhere throughout Challenge Mode as well. 50 Pikmin maximum can carry a 20 Pellet, 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. | |||
Many 10 and 20 Pellets (including many 1s and 5s) are found in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], especially in [[The Forest Navel]]. | |||

[[File:PikCarryPellet.jpg|thumb|200px|A [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Red Pikmin]] carrying a Pellet.]] | |||
At the start of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', all the Pellet Posies are red. The only color of Pellet Posies that can be seen, without counting those situated where the Onions of Blue and Yellow Pikmin are first encountered, are those types 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 color, once every few seconds, between the colors 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. | |||
Because [[White Pikmin|White]] and [[Purple Pikmin]] lack an Onion and pellets of their own color, if these Pikmin are carrying a pellet, they'll obey certain rules, as to decide what Onion to take the pellet into. These rules are detailed on the '''[[Carrying]]''' article. | |||

==''Pikmin 3''== | |||
Pellets return in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and appear very similar to their appearances in previous games. In addition to the colors of Pellets seen in past games, those that correspond to [[Winged Pikmin]] and [[Rock Pikmin]] are found, respectively, and the same color switching behaviour as in ''Pikmin 2'' is seen. Once again, specific areas where the Pikmin types can be found feature Pellet Posies specifically of the color of the Pikmin found these; black Pellets in the cave where the Onion of the [[Rock Pikmin]] can be found, for example. | |||

===Trophy description=== | |||
''"Items that contain concentrated essence of the Pikmin's home world. This essence is the keystone to all life on the planet. Harvested from pellet grass or flowers, Pikmin can take pellets back to Onions to produce more Pikmin. If the Onion and the pellet are the same color, it produces more Pikmin. The number on the top of a pellet tells how many Pikmin must carry it."'' | |||
The "Pellet Flowers" referred to in the description are Pellet Posies, yet "Pellet Grass" was not mentioned in Pikmin or Pikmin 2. This could refer to [[Flukeweed]], which often drops pellets and resembles grass. | |||
To obtain the Pellet trophy, you must clear [[smashwiki:Target Smash!|Target Smash]] level 2 with 10 characters. | |||

* | * It was revealed through a trailer of an earlier version of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' that all enemies that died would turn into Pellets with a small sparkle of blue light, meaning that enemy corpses may have not been an idea at the time. | ||
** This trailer also showed that 40 pellets were going to be included, but were taken out. | |||
* On the page that details the [[Onion]]s and pellets, in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'''s instruction manual, there is a picture of 3 [[Blue Pikmin]] carrying a 1 pellet. In the final game, this is only possible due to [[Glitches in Pikmin#3 Pikmin carrying a 1 pellet|a rare glitch]]. It's unknown whether it was possible to have 3 Pikmin carry a 1 pellet in [[Prototype information|an earlier version of the game]], or if the glitch manifested itself when taking that snapshot. | |||
