'''Pellet Posies''' ({{j|ペレット草|Peretto | '''Pellet Posies''' ({{j|ペレット草|Peretto Kusa|Pellet Grass}}) are a species of [[plant]] that appear in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize their [[nectar]] into [[pellet]]s, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Pikmin can be ordered to carry these back to their [[Onion]]s, and they are the main way Pikmin propagate. | ||
The pellets come in different sizes (1, 5, 10, and 20) and colors (matching the colors of the [[Onion]]s). These differences determine the number of Pikmin produced when the pellet is collected. Some Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, in a similar way to [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s; the color is fixed when the Posy is destroyed, making it possible for the player to choose which to collect. The order that the color cycles is always the chronological order that the Pikmin are discovered.

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the order is red, gray, yellow, pink, blue. Using [[glitches]] or sequence breaks to discover Onions in a different order in any game has no effect on the cycles. | ||
After a pellet posy is taken down, it disappears, but returns the next day as a small stub, which grows over time. They take four minutes to grow to full height and generate a new pellet, in ''Pikmin''. | After a pellet posy is taken down, it disappears, but returns the next day as a small stub, which grows over time.

In ''Pikmin 2'', Pellet Posies appear regularly in the [[Valley of Repose]] and the [[Awakening Wood]], but disappear from the [[Perplexing Pool]] the day after [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered, and are never found in the [[Wistful Wild]]. However, pellets without a plant can be found within all above-ground areas, usually as a drop from enemies. Neither pellets nor Pellet Posies are ever found in caves. | In ''Pikmin 2'', Pellet Posies appear regularly in the [[Valley of Repose]] and the [[Awakening Wood]], but disappear from the [[Perplexing Pool]] the day after [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered, and are never found in the [[Wistful Wild]].

In the Awakening Wood, there are three, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow one is near one of the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of [[Yellow Pikmin]] to attack and retrieve the pellet, and the other two (red and blue) are at ground level. | ||
The only 20-weight pellet in the game is also in the Awakening Wood, situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This pellet intermittently changes color, so careful timing is needed when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It appears starting on day 11, and respawns five days after being collected. | The only 20-weight pellet in the game is also in the Awakening Wood, situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found.

Although the Pellet Posy is classified as a [[plant]] rather than an [[enemy]], it is still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a [[leader]]. When hit, they make a "squeaking" sound. For an instant kill, [[throw]] your Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem. | {{stub|Add a strategy to help with timing a throw to get the pellet you want.}} | ||

A {{w|posy}} is a bouquet of flowers in the real world, and the Pellet Posy is named such because it is a flower, but has a [[pellet]] in the center. Its scientific name is ''amplus nutrio'', which is Latin for "ample nutrients", due to the pellets it generates being a great resource for Pikmin. In ''Pikmin'', the plant is internally known as <code>palm</code>, perhaps alluring to palm trees, but is simply called <code>pelplant</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', which is short for "pellet plant". | |||
