A '''pellet''' ({{j|ペレット|Peretto|Pellet}}) is a crystallized chunk of [[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 [[Pikmin series|games]], as large [[Enemy|creatures]] require many Pikmin to kill safely. | A '''pellet''' ({{j|ペレット|Peretto|Pellet}}) is a crystallized chunk of [[nectar]] that contains vitamins and other nutrition.

An Arabic numeral can be seen atop each one, reflecting its weight. Pellets with the numbers 1, 5, 8, 10, and 20 exist. If the color of the pellet matches the color of the [[Onion]] it is [[Carry|brought to]], that same number of Pikmin is produced (the exception being the number 1, which creates two Pikmin). If not, only half that number, rounded up, will appear. | ||
They are found on the top of [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground. Certain creatures of [[PNF-404]] also leave pellets as spoils at times; they have presumably eaten pellets, which could indicate the possibility that the same creatures are herbivores, if not omnivores. | They are found on the top of [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground.

;8 pellet: These pellets are exclusive to {{hp}} and are the only kind present in that game.

Strangely, in the original ''Pikmin 3'', it is possible to view pellets in the middle of a color transition on the [[radar]] at the start of the day. By panning to the radar to certain sections of areas (such as the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] arena after that boss has been defeated), and looking at the [[Off-TV Play|TV screen]], the pellet will show one of these transitional colors until the gameplay is unpaused or the segment is visited. | Strangely, in the original ''Pikmin 3'', it is possible to view pellets in the middle of a color transition on the [[radar]] at the start of the day.

* It was revealed through a trailer of an [[Pikmin prerelease information|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. A 40 pellet could also be seen in this trailer. | * It was revealed through a trailer of an [[Pikmin prerelease information|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.
