All other types can be reduced to zero by converting them to Purple Pikmin, but the Onion will produce seeds for up to 3 types which have had their Onion fused (only 1 seed if only the Red Pikmin Onion has been found at the time).

In this game, a deathless Onionless run is impossible. There is no way to make progress in the [[Garden of Hope]] if there are Red Pikmin in the Onion. However, because "AshEevee" found a way to kill Pikmin on day 1,{{cite youtube|5Z7KuPo76I4|of killing Pikmin on day 1 in ''Pikmin 3''}} an Onionless playthrough is still possible. On day 1, the player can remove all obstacles to the ship, then kill all of their Pikmin. Unlike the 2 previous games, the Onion will make a sprout immediately, but the player must leave it behind so that they can have a red sprout in the Garden of Hope. Going forward, it's best to leave all Pikmin buried or left behind at the end of each day, so that the player can start each new area with 1 of each type of Pikmin sprout. The [[Formidable Oak]] proves to be a challenge, because the player starts with 5 Pikmin, and there is no way to grow more. However, if the player uses the Candypop Buds inside the oak, the player can cause extinctions for the different types of Pikmin, making the Onion produce more.
Usually, there is no way to make progress in the [[Garden of Hope]] as all the Red Pikmin are in the Onion.

A full playthrough has been completed by "JHawk" in 10 in-game days.{{cite youtube|8vHA2-mKye0|of ''Pikmin 3'' Onionless all fruits in 10 days}} All fruits can still be collected in the optimal number of days under the Onionless restriction. "JHawk" uses various [[glitches]] to save time, mostly ones that also appear in speedruns of this game, such as clipping leaders through walls, or charging Winged Pikmin at fruits in high places. Regardless, [[Garden of Hope]] and [[Tropical Wilds]] were tight on time, he says. However, [[Formidable Oak]] was the most difficult day, as he only obtained 18 Pikmin from farming extinctions, and it takes about half of the day to even start the boss battle, leaving only the other half of the day to beat the boss with very few Pikmin. Technically, it's also possible to complete the game Onionless in 7 in-game days, though this follows from simply playing the first 6 days like in JHawk's playthrough, then completing [[Formidable Oak]] on day 7 in the same way as day 10 of the playthrough.
