{{clear}}

==In ''Pikmin''==

===Discovery===

In {{p1}}, Red Pikmin are the first type of Pikmin ever discovered by [[Captain Olimar]]. They are discovered in [[The Impact Site]], along with their Onion, just a short walk away from the landing site. When the dormant Onion wakes up and ejects a seed, and [[Olimar]] plucks the seed, it marks the first time Olimar ever sees a Pikmin. Here, at least 20 Red Pikmin must be grown in order to carry back the [[Main Engine]], so that Olimar can exit the planet's surface during the night. However, it's possible to grow up to 25 Red Pikmin on the first day.

**{{icon|Analog Computer|y}}: Same as the Libra.

**{{icon|Omega Stabilizer|y}}: Same as the Libra.

**{{icon|Secret Safe|y}}: Red Pikmin are the only ones that can cross the path of fire geysers necessary to complete the puzzle leading to this part, but with accurate aiming and a [[Throw#Longer throw trick|long throw]], one can throw [[Yellow Pikmin]] from the northern bridge onto the end of the geyser path.

*Enemies

**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.

==In ''Pikmin 2''==

===Discovery===

===Uses===

There is no task in the game that can only be completed with Red Pikmin specifically. However, as they are the first type discovered, they are by default required until another type is obtained. In addition, the following tasks are intended to be completed with Red Pikmin, though they can be done with other types:

*Treasures

**{{icon|Frosty Bauble|y}}: Same as the Essence of Despair.

**{{icon|Gemstar Wife|y}}: Same as the Essence of Despair.

**{{icon|Fiery Bulblax|y}}: Only Red Pikmin can withstand its flames. However, if the enemy is submerged, its fire goes out. Even with the fire active, [[Purple Pikmin]] can damage it with their impact damage, and [[White Pikmin]] can be ingested to poison it. In certain caves, it can be lured into walking into the [[abyss]] as well.

**{{icon|Fiery Dweevil|y}}: This enemy can set a large group of Pikmin on fire at once, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.

==In ''Pikmin 3''==

===Discovery===

In {{p3}}, the story begins with [[Charlie]] discovering [[Yellow Pikmin]] and ending up captured by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. After this prologue, [[Alph]] wakes up in a small puddle at the [[Tropical Wilds]]. He walks a short distance before seeing a Red Pikmin, which surprises both of them. After walking a bit more, he finds three wild Red Pikmin trying to free their Onion from a branch. Alph [[throw]]s the Pikmin at it and succeeds in freeing it. He then proceeds to grow his army up to 20 (21 if the one sitting on the pot is obtained), so that he can push the [[cardboard box]] and get back to the [[S.S. Drake]], as well as try to rescue [[Brittany]]. Although Yellow Pikmin are seen first, Red Pikmin are the first type to have their Onion discovered, and thus, formally introduced.

There is no task in the game that can only be completed with Red Pikmin specifically. However, as they are the first type discovered, they are by default required until another type is obtained. In addition, the following tasks are intended to be completed with Red Pikmin, though they can be done with other types:

*Fruits

*Enemies

**{{icon|Plasm Wraith|y}}: This boss is able to create fire-type elemental plasms that create fire over a large area. But there is a short period before the fire starts burning, and the elemental plasm can be destroyed before then.

**{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y}}: The Pyroclasmic Slooch is a slug that is cloaked in [[Fire|flames]]. By luring one into water, however, its flames temporarily go out while it remains in the water, and can be attacked by any Pikmin type. Other than that, [[Rock Pikmin]] deal impact damage to Slooches even if they are cloaked in fire, although the player should [[whistle]] them right afterwards to save them. There is also a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch#Glitch|glitch]] that allows other types of Pikmin to attack a Slooch without catching fire.

==In ''Hey! Pikmin''==

===Discovery===

In {{hp}}, after Captain Olimar crash-lands on the planet, he explores the area he lands in until he stumbles upon a lone Red Pikmin. After he and the [[S.S. Dolphin II]]'s pod stare at it for a bit, it runs away. After moving forward some more, Olimar and his ship find the Pikmin's hiding spot, a bush. After using the [[whistle]] here, the Pikmin that was hiding behind, along with three others, pop out of the bush and join him. These Pikmin are used shortly after to collect some [[Sparklium Seed]]s that are out of reach. Eventually, Olimar finishes exploring this starting area, and leaves the Pikmin he found behind. The adventure proper then starts, with the area [[First Expedition]], where he once again meets the Red Pikmin, again, hiding behind a bush. This time, and from here on out, he takes any Red Pikmin he finds and salvages at the end of the area with him, and leaves them in the [[Pikmin Park]].

Red Pikmin must be used in order to collect the following treasures and defeat the following enemies, and there are no glitches or exploits that allow other Pikmin types to do so.

===Recommended uses===

**{{icon|Firesnout Beetle|y}}: Red Pikmin are recommended to defeat it but other Pikmin can defeat it too.

==Trivia==

*The first piece of [[downloadable content]] in [[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|''Animal Crossing: City Folk'']] was a hat item called "Red Pikmin". The item covers all of the character's head except the face, and stems out into a leaf. It could be sent to other regions through befriending Japanese players. The same item was later made available in Europe and then North America ({{date|25|March|2009}} as the second DLC item). It is worth 360 Bells.

*A rectangular pot with a red, blue, and Yellow Pikmin planted in it is a piece of furniture in ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''. It can only be obtained by hacking, however.

*A Red Pikmin Hat can be found in Streetpass Mii Plaza by playing Find Mii.
