Yellow Wollywogs are the only type of wollywogs to appear in this game. They have experienced one notable change: as they inflate their throats to float in midair, they can now float for a small but randomly chosen amount of time, making it less predictable and more urgent to avoid. They also have a 360° field of view, meaning they can detect Pikmin and leaders from behind, unlike in the past two games. However, they cannot crush the newly-introduced Rock Pikmin with their attacks. This is the only game in the series besides ''Hey! Pikmin'' to have them stay as wollywogs instead of changing to wollyhops.

The Yellow Wollyhop and the Wollyhop are very similar in this game, and follow the same move set as in ''Pikmin 3''. However, the Yellow Wollyhop will move in short hops until it gets to jumping range, but the Wollyhop uses large jumps immediately to get around, and have a farther attack range.


===''Hey! Pikmin''===
===''Hey! Pikmin''===
In this game, Yellow Wollywogs passively wander a set area, ignoring Olimar and his Pikmin. They are only found in [[Downpour Thicket]]. Although they ignore him, if Olimar touches one, it will cause him damage, although Pikmin can walk through unscathed. If attacked, a Yellow Wollywog will become hostile, and attempt to flatten Olimar first, or any Pikmin if Olimar isn't in range.

Yellow Wollywogs are much easier to defeat in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', because of the inclusion of [[Rock Pikmin]], which are immune to being crushed. As such, they may be encountered as early as the second day. However, as some are found in water, Blue Pikmin must be used to defeat the water-dwelling Wollywogs. They are even more dangerous as they puff up to crush Pikmin in a larger area. One strategy is to lure them from the water to the shore, then use Rock Pikmin to attack it, whistling them back when you're low on throwable Pikmin.

It can be noted that the two Yellow Wollywogs in [[Fortress of Festivity]] on Battle enemies! mode in [[Mission Mode]] are significantly weaker than the average one, and it seems like the [[leader]] or Pikmin must get closer to them than normal to make them attack.

{{transcript|This magnificent specimen has remarkably bright coloration compared to the rest of the Amphituber family, as well as three lateral spots.
 
This species seems to have lost some swimming proficiency with the evolutionary adaptation that granted it greater jumping ability.  The Yellow Wollyhop inhabits aquatic shallows and shows an instinctive drive to jump upon and squash smaller creatures.|block=y}}
