'''Red Pikmin''' ({{j|赤ピクミン|Aka Pikumin}}) are a red species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with the special abilities of [[fire]] resistance and strong [[Combat|attack]] power. They are the first Pikmin type seen or discovered in all games by the main playable captain, and are usually considered the "main" type of Pikmin due to their relatively simple traits and early discovery. They are cultivated via the [[Red Onion]] (or the Master Onion), and like [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white. These Pikmin are present in all games of the series, and make an appearance in all game modes.

'''Red Pikmin''' ({{j|赤ピクミン|Aka Pikumin}}) are the first variety of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] discovered by the [[leaders]] in all games, and have the special abilities of [[fire]] resistance and strong [[Combat|attack]] power. They are usually considered the "main" type of Pikmin due to their relatively simple traits and early discovery. Aside from their color, the distinguishing features of Red Pikmin are their pointed noses, resistance to all sources of [[fire]], and higher attack power. They are cultivated via the [[Red Onion]] (or the Master Onion), and like [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white. These Pikmin are present in all games of the series, and make an appearance in all game modes. In [[2-Player Battle]], they belong to player 1's army, although their strength is reduced for the sake of fairness.

[[File:Red Pikmin fire resistance P1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Red Pikmin are immune to [[fire]], as seen here.]]
Red Pikmin have spiked noses, and as a result, have above average [[Combat|attack]] power, at 1.5&times; that of most types. This means they deal more damage when latched onto an enemy, making them especially useful in battle.
Red Pikmin have spiked noses, and above average [[Combat|attack]] power, at 1.5&times; that of normal Pikmin. This gives them the highest attack stat of any "normal" Pikmin type, when latched onto an enemy, making them especially useful in battle.


Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic. According to Olimar's notes in the Pikmin 4 Piklopedia, this is because their skin and muscle fibers are made up of a flame-resistant cellulose. This ability is most useful in ''Pikmin 4'', due to the presence of [[fire starter]]s that only they can pick up and [[sizzling floor]]s that only they can extinguish. It is also useful in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'' due to the fact that [[fire geyser]]s are indestructible and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s are prevalent. Their ability is less useful in ''Pikmin 2'', where the geysers can be destroyed by any Pikmin, and Fiery Blowhogs can easily be defeated with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Their main use in the second game is for defeating [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, though this task doesn't always require them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they act just like in all other games, except they also have the ability to stomp out [[flames]], allowing Olimar or other Pikmin safe passage.
Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to fire, in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic. No explanation to their immunity is ever revealed. This invulnerability is most useful in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'', mostly because of the [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and the fact that [[fire geyser]]s are indestructible. Their ability is less useful in ''Pikmin 2'', where the geysers can be destroyed by any Pikmin, and Fiery Blowhogs can easily be defeated with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Their main use in the second game is for taking care of [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, though this task doesn't always require them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they act just like in all other games, except they also have the ability to stomp out small fires, allowing Olimar or other Pikmin safe passage. In ''Pikmin 4'', they gain the ability to carry fire starters, which can be used to burn straw bundles, light up torches, prevent non-Ice Pikmin from freezing in cold cave sublevels, and destroy icy obstacles.  
 
In [[2-Player Battle]] in {{p2}}, Player 1's army is made up of Red Pikmin, while Player 2's army is made up of [[Blue Pikmin]]. For the sake of fairness, Blue Pikmin are given the same 1.5&times; attack power, and the only elemental hazards are from [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and [[Watery Blowhog]]s.

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.

In {{p2}}, the first Red Pikmin are found by Captain Olimar, immediately after landing on the planet. There are 5 Pikmin fighting a [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] right next to where Olimar lands. Whistling them gives Olimar control over them, which he uses to defeat the enemy. After this, once [[Louie]] has regained consciousness, he walks a short distance and finds the Red Onion. From there, Louie builds up the population in order to crush a [[paper bag]] separating him from Olimar, and from then on, the leaders are united.

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.

[[File:Pikmin 4 pluck.jpg|200px|thumb|Plucking the first Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
In {{p4}}, Red Pikmin are discovered in the tutorial on day 1, but not straight away. After the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] lands, they first find [[Oatchi]], rescue [[Collin]], make their way through the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] and rescue [[Shepherd]], and make it to the landing site of the [[Rescue Command Post]]. There, the Red Onion is found buried in the ground, and after digging it up with Oatchi and pulling it to the landing site, the Onion springs into action and releases a single Red Pikmin seed, which the player can pluck to start growing a squad.
In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], a Red Onion stands next to the [[S.S. Dolphin]] at the start of day 1. It is already active and contains 10 Red Pikmin.
===Required uses===
{{game help|p4|Add instances where the cooling down of sizzling floors is necessary and can only be done with Red Pikmin}}
There are many items in ''Pikmin 4'' that require the use of Red Pikmin to collect. This is due to the existence of [[sizzling floor]]s, obstacles that can only be extinguished by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s, tools that can only be carried by Red Pikmin.
As Red Pikmin are the they are the first type discovered, there are certain tasks that require Red Pikmin to be used:
*[[Rescue Command Post]] ([[Treasure]]s)
**{{Icon|Stone of Advancement|y|v=P4}}: While [[Oatchi]] is needed to knock it down from the high platform, Red Pikmin are required as it [[weight|weigh]]s 10 and Oatchi can only carry 3 at the moment.
**{{icon|Path Creator|y|v=P4}}: It is on a high ledge which cannot be reached with Oatchi.
Red Pikmin are also required in certain areas due to the need to use a fire starter:
*[[Cave]]s:
**[[Frozen Inferno]]: Groups of [[dried plant]]s block access to multiple [[treasure]]s as well as the entrance to sublevel 2.
**[[Cradle of the Beast]]: Dried plants on sublevel 1 block carrying routes and the entrance to sublevel 2.
*[[Dandori Challenge]]s:
**The entrance to a Dandori Challenge in the [[Giant's Hearth]] is surrounded by dried plants.
Also, since Dandori Caves limit what types of Pikmin are available, not all of them are possible to get a platinum medal without Red Pikmin.
*[[Dandori Day Care]]: Red Pikmin are the only Pikmin type, and there's just too many [[Gold Nugget]]s to get them all with just [[Oatchi]] and [[Extra Hand]].
*[[Aerial Incinerator]]: Even though the [[Ambiguous Hostel]] is possible to get by making Oatchi grab it as he's falling into a [[pit]], the real problem is getting the Gold Nuggets, because without any Pikmin, it's impossible to get them all before the time is up.
*[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#2nd Story: Snow Problem|2nd Story: Snow Problem]]: Since there's only Red Pikmin here, and a lot of the [[raw material]] is locked behind [[dried plant]]s, it's impossible to clear this, even in [[Dandori Challenge#Overtime|overtime]].
*[[Trial Run]]: There's no high valued [[treasure]]s, and Red Pikmin are the only type, so it's probably impossible to get over 100 {{icon|dandori}}.
====Olimar's Shipwreck tale====
Just like the main game mode, it's necessary to use Red Pikmin in order to discover other means of carrying and combat. It's unavoidable to either collect 2 [[ship part]]s with Red Pikmin to get to the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] and find [[Moss]], or to get the [[Yellow Onion]] with Red Pikmin in order to get [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Other than that, there are no ship parts that require Red Pikmin.
===Recommended uses===
{{game_help|p4|List all treasures that don't require Reds, but they're useful.}}
Several treasures and other obstacles in ''Pikmin 4'' can be subverted with means other than Red Pikmin, but they are still recommended. [[Sizzling floor]]s, on a few occasions, can only be cooled down by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s are often helpful but can be substituted in some instances. Here are things that are useful to have Red Pikmin with:
*[[Enemies]]:
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Fiery Bulblax|y|v=P4}}: Only Red Pikmin and [[Glow Pikmin]] can withstand its flames. However, if the enemy is submerged, its fire goes out. White Pikmin can be ingested to poison it.
**{{icon|Fiery Dweevil|y|v=P4}}: This enemy can set a large group of Pikmin on fire at once, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y|v=P4}}: This enemy is covered in fire so only Red Pikmin and Glow Pikmin can withstand the flames. However, it is possible to submerge the enemey allowing other Pikmin types to attack it.
**{{icon|Titan Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots strong and fast fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Scorchcake|y|v=P4}}: The underside of this enemy is covered in fire, so only Red Pikmin or Glow Pikmin can withstand the fire but the upperside has no flames meaning all Pikmin types can attack it.
**{{icon|Ancient Sirehound|y|v=P4}}: The fourth phase of this fight uses fire based attacks.
*Dandori Caves:
**[[Hotshock Canyon]]: Even though there are Red Pikmin here, it's not excruciatingly difficult to get a platinum medal with only Yellow Pikmin, Oatchi, [[Extra Hand]] and the [[Pebble Pitcher]].
**[[Rockaway Cellars]]: Same as Hotshock Canyon, but with [[Rock Pikmin]] rather than Yellows.
**[[Strategic Freezeway]]: Same as Hotshock Canyon, but with [[Ice Pikmin]] rather than Rocks.
**[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#1st Story: Bulblaxes|1st Story: Bulblaxes]]: Same as Strategic Freezeway.
**[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#6th Story: Gimmick Gambit|6th Story: Gimmick Gambit]]: This challenge's normal path requires Red Pikmin, but it's possible to use the Pebble Pitcher to press the [[button]] to open the final [[gate]].
**[[Hot Sandy Duel]]: Since there's a lot of high valued treasures, a [[Sneak Bomb]], [[Bonus Find]]s, and [[Glow Pikmin]], and the fact that the [[Pebble Pitcher]] can help, it's pretty difficult, but doable.

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.

===Discovery===
In {{P4}}, after reaching the area that would later become the [[Rescue Command Post]] from the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] cave; [[Player character|the player]], [[Collin]], [[Shepherd]], and [[Oatchi]] stumble upon a Red Onion that is buried in the ground, similar to the Red Onion's discovery in ''Pikmin''. The player would then command Oatchi to dig up the Red Onion and take it the [[S.S. Beagle]]. However, the Red Onion later wakes up then rolls on the ground to the center of the [[Area#Base|bigger ring of pink stones]], then spreads out its legs and sprouts a single Red Pikmin. Its introductory cutscene has the Red Pikmin look around the world it was brought into in curiosity as the [[Rescue Corps]] squad approaches it, with Collin relaying information from Olimar's Voyage Log as Shepherd hides behind Collin in fear. The Red Pikmin then starts chasing after Oatchi in circles around the player.

{{transcript|Fire should be a natural enemy of the Pikmin, but {{color|Red Pikmin continue through the flames|darkorange}} where other Pikmin would burn...

{{transcript|Pikmin are part of the Ambuloradicis class, which consists of creatures that exhibit both plant and animal characteristics. A Pikmin will instinctively follow whoever plucks it from the ground, so it so quite common for them to form symbiotic relationships with another species or accept a leader of a different species, as it serves the goal of propagating their own species as a whole. The Red Pikmin is the most common Pikmin species. It can be identified by the nose-like protuberance on its head and its highly aggressive behavior. It also has a few surprising and unique qualities- for example, its immunity to extreme heat and fire, despite the fact that it's a living organism.

*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.

*Red Pikmin are the only Pikmin type to be used as the default for more than one [[Dandori Battle]] stage, as they are present in both [[Trial Run]] and [[Hot Sandy Duel]].
*Red Pikmin become obsolete early in ''Pikmin 2'', as all manner of fire hazards in the game can be easily destroyed without the use of Red Pikmin. Their greater attack strength also becomes negligible, as Purple Pikmin can also be brought to any area that Red Pikmin can go to.
*In [[Pikmin 4]], if the player only has discovered Red Pikmin, it will always be the recommended type above ground.
*The scientific name of the Red Pikmin is Pikminidae Rubrus.
