'''Pellet Posies''' are the main producer plants for Pikmin to propagate. When a Pikmin cuts one down, it drops a [[Pellet|pellet]]. These come in different sizes and colors; 1's, 5's, 10's, and 20's, with red, yellow, and blue pellets. Some of these plants' pellets change color at regular intervals, similarly to the [[Queen Candypop Buds]], and drop an appropriate pellet when the plant itself is taken down. If a Pikmin is thrown and lands on the pellet or upper stem the plant will automatically succumb and drop the pellet that is present when the pikmin hits. This allows players to get the color of pellet they deem is most important. All Pellet Posies have the same health, regardless of color or the number on the pellet they carry. | |||
Pellet Posies only appear in the [[Valley of Repose]], [[2-Player Mode]] levels, and the [[Awakening Wood]]. However, pellets can be found on all above-ground worlds, usually as a drop from enemies. '''Never''' are they found in caves. | |||

As a sidenote, 10s and 20s only appear in the Awakening Wood and the Valley of Repose in the Pikmin's ecosystem. There are only three 10s found in the Awakening Wood, they are located to the left of the landing site. The yellow 10 is near one of the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort|Burgeoning Spiderworts]], located on a ledge, ideal for the use of [[Yellow Pikmin]] to attack and retrieve the pellet. The other two (red and blue) are on basic land. The only twenty in this region (also out of all four) is on the ledge on the opposite side where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is. This twenty, and the only twenty, actually changes colors, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet, it will only appear after quite a few days, (and respawns when defeated after 2-4 days) approximately it starts appearing during Day 20 and over. The only special Pellet Posy in the Valley of Repose is a 10 pellet, and it changes colors, it is also right near your base on a ledge, but only appears after a certain amount of days. | |||
==Olimar's Notes== | |||
In the stem of the pellet posy, one can observe the muscle fiber unique to half-plant, half-animal species such as the Pikmin and candypop flowers, so the pellet posy is a species that can be considered a close relative. Althought the ability to crystallize is unique to a small group of the pellet weed family, the fact that these plants reach maturity so quickly and that thier pellets contain such high concentrations of the natural nutrients in the soil explains why the Pikmin and so many of the other indigenous species are so reliant on these pellets for sustenance. | |||
==Louie's Notes== | |||
On the quest for a perfect hors d'oevre? Slow cook this plant in a wood-fire oven, but be careful to only serve the tender pellet. | |||
==How to Kill== | |||
The Pellet Posy isn't an enemy, but this is included for consistency. | |||
====Pikmin==== | |||
Swarm it. If you want a certain color, wait until just before it turns that color, then swarm it. Or throw a Pikmin directly at the petals. | |||
====Captains==== | |||
Punch it until it falls. If you want a certain color, punch it until it's almost dead, then hit it once more when it turns the color you want. | |||
