'''Yellow Pikmin''' ({{j|黄ピクミン|Ki Pikumin}}) are | '''Yellow Pikmin''' ({{j|黄ピクミン|Ki Pikumin}}) are the second type of [[Pikmin family|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. Yellow Pikmin can be thrown higher, an ability that is needed to retrieve certain elevated [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s and [[fruit]]s. Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees – this can be concluded from the places they are found in in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''. Like all other main types of Pikmin, their buds and flowers are white, and their main method of production is through the [[Onion]]. | ||

[[File: | [[File:YellowPikminCircuit.png|thumb|left|Yellow Pikmin showcasing their ability to conduct electricity.]] | ||
Yellow Pikmin seem to have varying abilities that either change or get discovered as time goes on. In all three games, they can be [[throw]]n higher than other Pikmin, which is used quite often throughout the games. In ''Pikmin'', Yellow Pikmin are the only ones able to wield [[bomb-rock]]s, for whatever the reason. Digging into the game's files has revealed that all Pikmin were supposed to be able to wield bomb-rocks. Because of the rare circumstances in which these Pikmin are needed, they are arguably the least useful type in the game. | |||
In ''Pikmin'', Yellow Pikmin | In ''Pikmin 2'', the [[Electricity|electrical]] hazards surface, with Yellows now being immune to them. Additionally, when Olimar discovers the Yellow Pikmin, the [[Hocotate Ship|Ship]] states that the static electricity readings are high. The explanation for this is never revealed, either. Although bomb-rocks appear in the same game, Yellows are unable to use them, possibly due to the difference in size. Their immunity to electric hazards is very helpful, as electricity is an otherwise instant death hazard. | ||
In ''Pikmin 3'', Yellows once again exhibit their immunity to electricity and their ability to be thrown high. Technically, Yellows are able to use Bomb Rocks again, but this isn't anything notable since all types of Pikmin can do so in this installment. Yellows also show a new ability – they can [[dig]] faster than other Pikmin. This is also unexplained, but is rather helpful as a good majority of objects in the game are buried. They also can now conduct electricity. If a [[Electrode|circuit]] is incomplete, enough Yellow Pikmin can continue the flow of electricity and complete it. The Yellows also get flowered in the process, somehow. Their immunity to electricity is less useful now, as electricity only stuns other Pikmin, as opposed to instantly killing them. | |||

==Discovery== | |||
[[File:YellowPikminDiscovered.png|thumb|right|200px|The Yellow Pikmin resting on a tree in ''Pikmin 2''.]] | |||
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Yellow Pikmin can be found in [[The Forest of Hope]] inside a dormant yellow [[Onion]]. The Onion is located near a few [[Spotty Bulborb]]s and yellow Pellets. It can be seen from the landing site, and is at the west of the map, beyond the area with the [[Eternal Fuel Dynamo]]. Olimar discovers their ability to handle bomb-rocks from the explosives nearby, and uses them to clear the path to various other [[ship part]]s. | |||
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the [[Perplexing Pool]] near the center of the map, at the end of a long and twisted path; white Pikmin are necessary just to reach them, and a [[Fiery Bulblax]] guards the entrance to their Onion. They are found relaxing on top of a tree, and exhibit static electricity flowing from their bodies on their discovery [[cutscene]]. The Hocotate ship states that the static electricity readings are "unusually high". | |||
In ''[[Pikmin | |||
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Yellow Pikmin are first encountered by [[Charlie]], with some of them idling atop some tree branches. After helping him for a bit, they flee when he faces the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. Later on, when going to the [[Distant Tundra]] for the first time with [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]], Brittany falls out of the ship and into a cave (which consequently separates her from [[Alph]]). She finds two Yellow Pikmin trying to complete a [[Electrode|circuit]] in the cave. The player must [[pluck]] three buried Yellow Pikmin nearby to complete the circuit; upon doing so, a light-bulb is activated, causing the yellow [[Onion]] to fly up out of the ground. Brittany then uses the newly discovered Pikmin type to reunite with Alph. | |||

*Ship parts | |||
**{{icon|Positron Generator|y}}: Yellow Pikmin are needed to take down the [[reinforced wall]] with [[bomb-rock]]s, although by throwing some Pikmin out of bounds on the stump with the three large pellets, and then having Olimar [[lie down]] next to the pellet on top of the trunk-like structure at the south, he can squeeze through and go out of bounds, and then use the Pikmin that got thrown to enter the beach area without taking down the reinforced wall.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB2E8pCVqco YouTube video showing the Positron Generator being collected using only Red Pikmin]</ref> | |||
**{{icon|Extraordinary Bolt|y}}: The reinforced walls near the yellow Onion and covering the bolt's alcove must both be taken down before the part can be accessed. Alternately, the reinforced wall near the landing site may be taken down instead of the one near the yellow Onion. | |||
