'''Pellet Posies''' are a species of plants that appear in both [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize nectar into small [[pellet]]s; the main way for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to propagate. When a Pikmin cuts one down, it drops a pellet, these come in different sizes and colors: 1, 5, 10 and 20 with red, yellow, and blue pellets. Although there are 5, 10, and 20 pellets in [[Pikmin 1|''Pikmin'']], Pellet Posies which actually grow those pellets are not seen until ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Some of these plants' pellets change color at regular intervals, similarly to the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s, 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 most important. All Pellet Posies have the same health, regardless of color or the number on the pellet they carry. Pellet Posies also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown or eaten. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage.

===Pikmin===

Pellet Posies are most common in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], especially at the [[Impact Site]].

===Pikmin 2===

As a sidenote, 10- and 20-weight Pellet Posies only appear in the [[Awakening Wood]] and the [[Valley of Repose]] in the Pikmin 2 world. There are three 10s found in the Awakening Wood, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow 10 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. The other two (red and blue) are at ground level. The only 20-weight pellet in the game is situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This 20 intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It will appear starting on Day 11, and will respawn five days after collected. The only special Pellet Posy in the Valley of Repose is a 10-pellet, and it changes colors; starting on Day 4, it can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket.{{clear}}

==Killing Strategy==

Although the pellet posy is classified as a plant rather than an enemy, they are still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a [[captain]]. When hit, the make a "squeaking" sound; the larger the posy, the deeper the sound. For an instant kill, throw your pikmin at the pellet, not the stem.

*Early Pellet Posies have spikey stems and when killed, instead of the petals falling off and the pellet falling flat on it's back, the pellets remain sideways with their petals on and the petals disappear in purple lights.
