'''Yellow Pikmin''' are the second type of Pikmin collected in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', the fourth type in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and they're first found with [[Charlie]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. These Pikmin have what would appear to be large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids their hearing. In both games the Yellow Pikmin can be thrown higher than other Pikmin due to their ears, which help them glide<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/wii/a_colourful_crew_12355.html Nintendo of Europe: Yellow Pikmin glide</ref>. This is an ability which is needed to retrieve certain elevated [[:category:ship parts|ship parts]] and [[:category:treasures|treasures]]. Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees.

==''Pikmin''==
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Yellow Pikmin can be found in [[The Forest of Hope]] inside a dormant [[Yellow Onion]]. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive [[bomb-rocks]], which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish [[gate]]s, and are required to demolish stone walls. Improper handling of bomb-rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised.

==''Pikmin 2''==
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the Perplexing Pool at the end of a long and twisted path; White Pikmin are necessary just to reach them. Yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity but no longer have the ability to carry bomb-rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in ''Pikmin 2''.

==''Pikmin 3''==
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Yellow Pikmin still retain the immunity to electricity, and additionally have an ability to conduct electricity: they join hands near the ends of a wire, and the circuit starts up again and acts as a power source. It has been shown that Yellow Pikmin may become flower Pikmin if at leaf stage when completing a circuit in this manner. Furthermore, they regain the ability to carry bomb-rocks, and use them to attack enemies. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8lDE0NfJwg becoming flower Pikmin when conducting electricity (during the Yellow Pikmin footage)</ref> Yellow Pikmin can also dig faster than other types in Pikmin 3.

Yellow Pikmin are first encountered by [[Charlie]], but flee when he faces the Vehemoth Phosbat. Later on, when [[Brittany]] falls out of the ship and into cave (which consequently separates her from [[Alph]]), she finds two Yellow Pikmin trying to complete a circuit. The player must pluck three buried Yellow Pikmin nearby to complete the circuit; upon doing so, the Yellow Onion is activated and flies up out of the ground.

==''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
Yellow Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a trophy, and a kind of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground using his Pikmin Pluck special move. Yellow Pikmin, like in ''Pikmin 2'', are immune to electrical moves like Pikachu's Thunder or Forward Smash and can attack with electric properties. They can also be thrown higher than other Pikmin.

===Brawl Trophy Description===
[[Image:SSBBYelPikTrophy.jpg|thumb|right|80px|Yellow Pikmin trophy]]
''A type of Pikmin. Take a nutrient-rich pellet to a flying saucer known as an Onion, and it will produce the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. Yellow ones fly higher than other Pikmin when tossed by Olimar or Louie. Unlike other Pikmin, they're also highly resistant to electricity, which makes them valuable when battling enemies like [[Anode Dweevil]]s.''
