{{game help|p4}}
'''Yellow Pikmin''' ({{j|黄ピクミン|Ki Pikumin}}) are a yellow species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], with the special abilities of increased [[throw]] height, [[bomb-rock]] carrying (in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''), and [[electricity]] resistance. They are the second type discovered by [[Captain Olimar]] in ''Pikmin'', the fourth type identified in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the first type found with [[Charlie]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. In {{p4}}, Pikmin can be discovered in any order (with the exception to [[Red Pikmin]]). These Pikmin have lamellae which resemble large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. Yellow Pikmin can be thrown higher &ndash; an ability that is needed to retrieve certain elevated [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s and [[fruit]]s &ndash; and are immune to [[electricity]]. Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees &ndash; this can be concluded from the places they are first found in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''. Their main method of production is through the [[Yellow Onion]] (or the Master Onion), and like [[Red Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white. Like Red Pikmin and Blue Pikmin, they appear in all games of the series, and the only game mode they are missing from in comparison to the other two, is [[2-Player Battle]].

Unlike other Pikmin types, the abilities and role of Yellow Pikmin have not always been consistent. Despite this, in all four main-series games, they have large ears and can be [[throw]]n higher than other Pikmin, which is useful for collecting high-up objects, latching on to enemies like [[Beady Long Legs]], or other such purposes.

In ''Pikmin'', Yellow Pikmin are uniquely able to carry and toss [[bomb-rock]]s (though digging into the game's files has revealed that all Pikmin were originally supposed to be able to wield bomb-rocks).{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin#Bomb-rock_Textures|''Pikmin''|The Cutting Room Floor}} Having this role makes Yellow Pikmin arguably much more situational than Red or Blue Pikmin, and as a result, it is not typically necessary to have more than a handful of them in Olimar's squad at any given time.

''Pikmin 2'' introduces [[Electricity|electrical]] hazards into the series, with Yellow Pikmin now being immune to them (alongside [[Bulbmin]]). Additionally, when Olimar discovers the Yellow Pikmin, the [[Hocotate ship]] states that the static electricity readings are high, suggesting that Yellow Pikmin conduct electricity as well (though this would not be one of their in-game abilities until ''Pikmin 3''). This newfound electrical immunity makes Yellow Pikmin very helpful in dealing with electrical enemies and hazards that can instantly kill other Pikmin types, as well as tearing down [[electric gate]]s. Their ability to carry bomb-rocks does not factor into this game, since bomb-rocks now only appear as a hazard for the leaders' squads and cannot be carried by any Pikmin.

Their ability to carry bomb-rocks does not factor into this game, since bomb-rocks now only appear as a hazard for the captains' squads and cannot be carried by any Pikmin.  


In ''Pikmin 3'', Yellow Pikmin once again exhibit their immunity to electricity and their ability to be thrown high. They can also carry bomb-rocks again, but this is no longer a distinct feature of Yellow Pikmin, since all Pikmin types can carry them now. Yellow Pikmin also show a new ability &ndash; they can [[dig]] faster than other Pikmin (although Rock Pikmin can [[Tunnel#Digging speeds|dig tunnels]] even faster). This is because the lamellae act as a shovel.{{fact}} This ability is rather helpful, since a number of objects in the game are buried. In addition, Yellow Pikmin can form a wire and conduct electricity to link a [[Electrode|circuit]] together, which is required to progress through the game in certain points. When completing a circuit, the Yellow Pikmin involved will become flowered if they were not already. While electricity is not nearly as dangerous or prevalent a hazard in ''Pikmin 3'' as it was in ''2'', Yellow Pikmin are still useful for dealing with electrical hazards and gates.

===Discovery===
===Discovery===
In {{P4}}, Yellow Pikmin can be first discovered in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], typically first in the [[Crackling Cauldron]], but they can also be found in the [[Industrial Maze]]. Alternatively, collecting the Yellow Onion will cause the Master Onion to produce a Yellow seed. They are typically the third type discovered, after [[Ice Pikmin]]. Their introductory cutscene has the Yellow Pikmin leap high in the air with crackles of electricity zapping out of their body, demonstrating their higher throwing range and immunity to electricity.

**{{icon|Automatic Gear|y|v=P4}} (Blossoming Arcadia): Yellow Pikmin are the easiest to throw at the ship part.
**{{icon|Geiger Counter|y|v=P4}}: The ship part is in a section blocked off by an electric gate. Alternatively, bomb rocks can destroy the gate.
**{{icon|Ionium Jet|y|v=P4}} ([[Blossoming Arcadia]]): Just like the ''Mechanical Harp (Memory Song)'', it is found in the same place as the treasure in story mode so the same strategy applies. Alternatively, player 2 can throw nectar near it and then any Pikmin type can be thrown up the slope nearby.
**{{icon|Nova Blaster |y|v=P4}}: Normally, Yellow Pikmin are used to pull down a clipboard, then Moss breaks the pots, then the Pikmin push down a climbing rope. But if Olimar stands on a ledge near the clipboard and the climbing rope, the Pikmin can reach the climbing rope.

In {{hp}}, Yellow Pikmin are first found in the [[Cavern of Confusion]], in the first sector, [[Brilliant Garden]]. Upon entering the area, Olimar is stuck due to a [[dirt block]] until he calls a group of Yellow Pikmin using his whistle. The rest of the area shows off their higher throw height. After the area is complete they join the Pikmin Park like any other Pikmin type.

{{transcript|I've decided to call the yellow-colored Pikmin with large earlike appendages "{{color|Yellow Pikmin|darkorange}}." I liked that name a lot more than Ear Pikmin.

{{transcript|Look at the extraordinarily big, pointy ears on the adorable Yellow Pikmin! I doubt you can whisper a secret they won't hear. Try throwing one. They can easily retrieve objects for you from places you can't reach! Also, electricity doesn't faze them at all. They're shockingly useful little guys!|block=y}}

{{transcript|It's generally believed that the Pikmin body was originally the root of a plant that has evolved over centuries, if not millennia, developing structures analogous to muscles, neural networks similar to those of a brain, and more.
{{transcript|It's generally believed that the Pikmin body was originally the root of a plant that has evolved over centuries, if not millennia, developing stuctures analagous to muscles, neural networks similar to those of a brain, and more. However, Yellow Pikmin ossess a perfect resistance to electricity, a force which actually poses extreme danger to other organisms. Oddly enough, this species of Pikmin actually seems to...enjoy electricity! Their flowers even bloom when they are exposed to electric current. This fact would lead one to believe that their neural-transmission methods are quite different than our own. This species used the ear-like lamellae on its head to soar to great heights and dig holes.|block=y}}

Yellow Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' 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 are also thrown higher and longer than other Pikmin.

Yellow Pikmin also have a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] of them in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. They also have a spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', where their spirit battle consists of 10, weak and tiny Donkey Kongs that favor neutral air attacks. The floor is electrified during the battle. They can also be obtained from the Spirit Board or by scanning the [[amiibo|Pikmin amiibo]].
