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. And [[Hey! Pikmin]]

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, their attack strength is reduced in this mode to equal that of Blue Pikmin, 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. 25 2 50 2 75 2 100 2 100+

**{{icon|Bowsprit|y}}: Same as the Libra, but if a nearby bridge is extended and the gate that is out of the path of any other ship part is destroyed, the Pikmin will carry it that way instead, and avoid the geysers.

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.  

**{{icon|Gyroid Bust|y}}: They are needed to [[carry]] the piece through [[fire geyser]]s, unless careful timing, [[whistle]]s, and fast carrying strategies are used or the fire geysers are destroyed. Why A Refrence To Animole Crossing

**{{icon|Essence of Despair|y}}: There is no water around to defeat the [[Fiery Bulblax]] with other Pikmin, so Red Pikmin are needed. But it can be killed using the alternative methods listed below.

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.

**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}}: The one in the [[Distant Tundra]] is inside of a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]. This Slooch is not near any water, so Red Pikmin must be used. Other types can attack it as detailed below, though.

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

**{{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. With No [[Red Pikmin]] You Can't Deafeat A [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]

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.

===Uses===

{{todo|Write a list of items requiring Red Pikmin to collect.}}

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 destroyed by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s, tools that can only be carried by Red Pikmin. And Are Found In The [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]] And [[Frozen Inferno]]

*Enemies

**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=HP}}: Red Pikmin are the only ones able to defeat it.

**{{icon|Fiery Dwarf Bulblax|y}}: Because of its fiery back, it can only be defeated with Red Pikmin.

**{{icon|Fiery Young Yellow Wollywog|y}}: Its body is perpetually on fire, meaning that only Red Pikmin can kill it.

**{{icon|Fireflap Bulborb|y}}: Since its body is on fire, only Red Pikmin can be thrown at one to take it out.

===Dalmo's Notes===

===Olimar's Notes===

{{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. This can be explained by looking closely at its skin and muscle fibers, which are made up of a flame-resistant cellulose.|block=y}}

===Louie's Notes===

{{transcript|Red Pikmin have a sharp, nose-like spine on their face—and they’re immune to fire! They’re trusty allies you can rely on in any situation.|block=y}}
