{{Stub}}
In {{p4}}, [[Russ]] runs a lab where you can buy with [[raw material]] various gear, which grant you abilities, immunities, or improved stats, or items, which can be used from your [[Pack (Pikmin 4)|pack]] while adventuring. Most of them are unlocked after collecting a specific amount of [[Sparklium]], while some are unlocked after [[Mission (Pikmin 4)|missions]] or upon meeting various criteria.
