A '''Seeding Dandelion''' ({{j|タンポポ（綿毛）|Tanpopo (Watage)|Dandelion (Fluff)}}) is a [[Dandelion]] which has flowered for long enough to be pollinated and produce a batch of fresh seeds, each attached to a fluffy white tuft. The tufts catch the wind and the seeds are swept from the plant so that they may land and take root in a new location. Seeding Dandelions can be found as scenery interactable plants in {{p2}} and {{p3}}, but as important gameplay mechanics in {{hp}}. In ''Pikmin 3'', normal Dandelions evolve as the days progress, until they finally turn into Seeding Dandelions. These plants also appear in the Spring-themed levels of {{pa}}, where one can occasionally hide a coin.
A '''Seeding Dandelion''' is a [[Dandelion]] which has flowered for long enough to be pollinated and produce a batch of fresh seeds, each attached to a fluffy white tuft. The tufts catch the wind and the seeds are swept from the plant so that they may land and take root in a new location. Seeding dandelions can only be found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and are used for scenery. Bumping into one will dislodge one or two seeds, but apart from that, they have no particular function. They are one of the rarest species in ''Pikmin 2'', appearing in only one above ground area and one challenge mode level.
 
==''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''==
Bumping into one will dislodge one or two seeds in ''Pikmin 2'', but it won't undergo any change. In ''Pikmin 3'', throwing a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] into it will dislodge all its seeds. Apart from that, they have no particular function. They are one of the rarest species in ''Pikmin 2'', appearing in only one above ground area and one challenge mode level. They also appear in many levels of ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''.
 
In {{p3}}, a Seeding Dandelion can be replaced by a regular [[Dandelion]], depending on the current day. The [[Dandelion]] evolves and finally becomes a Seeding Dandelion.
 
==''Hey! Pikmin''==
In {{hp}}, Seeding Dandelions are not much taller than the Pikmin themselves, and they serve as a stopping point for Pikmin. When Pikmin are [[throw]]n in this game, they either walk towards a [[treasure]], or walk back to [[Captain Olimar]]'s side. If the player needs thrown Pikmin to stay in a certain spot until they are [[Whistle|called]], chances are a Seeding Dandelion will be there. As per the [[cutscene]] near the start of the [[Pollution Pool]], when a Pikmin noticed a bed of Seeding Dandelions, it cannot resist the urge to jump right on top of the plants and bounce around. These plants also play a big role in the very same area, where Captain Olimar needs to keep the Pikmin busy in a different platform while he himself swims through a pond or builds a [[bridge]], so that he may call them on the other side when he's ready. Despite being introduced as a gameplay mechanic in Pollution Pool, Seeding Dandelions first appear in [[Back-and-Forth Road]] at the start, where the player is tasked with whistling some Pikmin bouncing on the plant, and can't interact with it in any other way.
