'''Pellet Posies''' are a species of plants that appear in all three [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'']] games. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize nectar into small [[pellet]]s; the main way for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to propagate. When a Pikmin cuts one down, it drops a pellet.
'''Pellet Posies''' are a species of plant that appear in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize their [[nectar]] into [[pellet]]s, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Pikmin can be ordered to carry these back to their [[Onion]]s, and they are the main way Pikmin propagate.


These come in different sizes and colors: 1, 5, 10 and 20 with red, yellow, and blue, grey (''Pikmin 3''), and pink (''Pikmin 3'') pellets. Although there are 5, 10, and 20 pellets in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Pellet Posies which actually ''grow'' those pellets are not seen until ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Some of these plants' pellets change color at regular intervals, similarly to the [[Candypop Bud#Queen Candypop Bud|Queen Candypop Bud]], and drop an appropriate pellet when the plant itself is taken down. In ''Pikmin 3'', 1, 5, and 10 pellets can be found. These pellets can be red, blue, yellow, pink, or gray in coloration.
The pellets come in different sizes (1, 5, 10, and 20) and colors (red, yellow, and blue), but all have the same [[HP|health]].  These differences determine the number of Pikmin produced when the pellet is collected. Some Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, in a similar way to [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s; the color is fixed when the Posy is destroyed, making it possible for the player to choose which to collect.


In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', if a Pikmin is thrown and lands on the pellet or upper stem the plant will automatically succumb and drop the pellet that is present when the Pikmin hits. This allows players to get the color of pellet they deem most important. All Pellet Posies have the same health, regardless of color or the number on the pellet they carry.
Pellet Posies also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown or eaten. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage. They can also be thrown into an [[Onion]] that appears periodically, when thrown into the corresponding color, they release food depending on the number on the pellet.  


However in ''Pikmin 3'', 5 and 10 Pellet Posies have more health and cannot be knocked down as easily.
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', larger sizes of Pellet Posies have more [[HP]], as opposed to all Pellet Posies having the same HP in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.


Pellet Posies also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] ''with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown or eaten. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage.

In ''Pikmin'', the Pellet Posy takes exactly 4 minutes to fully mature.

===Reel notes===
''"This sparsely growing plant is able to crystallize nectar into round pellets."''
===Olimar's Notes===
''"In the stem of the pellet posy, one can observe the muscle fiber unique to half-plant, half-animal species such as the Pikmin and candypop flowers, so the pellet posy is a species that can be considered a close relative. Although the ability to crystallize nectar is unique to a small group of the pellet weed family, the fact that these plants reach maturity so quickly and that their pellets contain such high concentrations of the natural nutrients in the soil explains why the Pikmin and so many of the other indigenous species are so reliant on these pellets for sustenance."''
===Louie's Notes===
''"On the quest for the perfect hors d'oeuvre? Slow cook this plant in a wood-fire oven, but be careful to only serve the tender pellet."''
===Nintendo Player's Guide===
''"It takes just one Pikmin to cut down a Pellet Posy, but often several Pikmin must carry its Pikmin-producing pellet to an Onion."''
===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
''"Most of the Pellet Posies you find produce 1 Pellets but 5 Pellets and 10 Pellets can be harvested from larger Pellet Posies. To quickly destroy a small Pellet Posy, toss a single Pikmin directly onto the top of its flower. Larger Pellet Posies are more durable and should generally be attacked by multiple Pikmin."''

[[File:58pelletposy.png‎|thumb|250px|Two "1" Pellet Posies.]]
Pellet Posies are rather common in the first ''Pikmin'' game, especially at the [[Impact Site]].  Although there are 5-, 10-, and 20-weight pellets, Posies which actually grow these are not found in ''Pikmin''.


Pellet Posies are most common in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. They are found in every area except the [[Final Trial]], but are found in most abundance at the [[Impact Site]]. 
===Pikmin 2===
In ''Pikmin 2'', Pellet Posies appear regularly in the [[Valley of Repose]] and the [[Awakening Wood]], but disappear from the [[Perplexing Pool]] the day after [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered, and are never found in the [[Wistful Wild]]. However, pellets without a plant can be found within all above-ground areas, usually as a drop from enemies. Neither pellets nor Pellet Posies are ever found in caves.


===''Pikmin 2''===
10-weight Pellet Posies are rare: there is one in the Valley of Repose, which changes colors and can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket starting on day 4. In the Awakening Wood, there are three, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow one is near one of the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of [[Yellow Pikmin]] to attack and retrieve the pellet, and the other two (red and blue) are at ground level.

However, pellets without a plant can be found within all above-ground areas, usually as a drop from enemies. Neither pellets nor Pellet Posies are ever found in caves.


As a sidenote, 10- and 20-weight Pellet Posies only appear in the [[Awakening Wood]] and the [[Valley of Repose]] in ''Pikmin 2''. There are three 10s found in the Awakening Wood, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow 10 is near one of the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of [[Yellow Pikmin]] to attack and retrieve the pellet. The other two (red and blue) are at ground level. The only 20-weight pellet in the game is situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This 20 intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It will appear starting on Day 11, and will respawn five days after collected. The only special Pellet Posy in the Valley of Repose is a 10-pellet, and it changes colors; starting on Day 4, it can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket.
The only 20-weight pellet in the game is also in Awakening Wood, situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This pellet intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It appears starting on Day 11, and respawns five days after collected.
===''Pikmin 3''===
Pellet Posies are found in every area except [[Formidable Oak]]. They are found near the landing sites and where each Onion, except [[Pink Pikmin]] (where they are replaced by [[Flukeweed]] bearing Pellets), was found. The day after the Onion is found, their respective Pellet Posy stocks disappear. 
==Battle Strategy==
Although the Pellet Posy is classified as a plant rather than an enemy, they are still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a [[Leader|Captain]]. When hit, the make a "squeaking" sound; the larger the posy, the deeper the sound. For an instant kill (except >1-weight Pellet Posies in ''Pikmin 3''), throw your Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem.

*Early test models of Pellet Posies have spiky stems, and when killed, instead of the petals falling off and the pellet falling flat on its back, the pellets remain sideways and the petals disappear in purple lights.
*It's scientific name, '''''Amplus Nutrius''''', is loosely translated to 'Ample Nutrients': ''Amplus'' being close to ample, and ''nutrius ''is close to nutrients. This is also based on the fact that it supplies ample nutrients to the creatures of the planet, most notably [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so.

Before the import, this subject had a page both on Pikipedia and Pikmin Wiki. You are currently reading the Pikipedia version, and the Pikmin Wiki version can be found here. Both versions need to be manually merged together and placed on the current page.

Pellet Posies are a species of plant that appear in all Pikmin games. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize their nectar into pellets, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a Pikmin. Pikmin can be ordered to carry these back to their Onions, and they are the main way Pikmin propagate.

The pellets come in different sizes (1, 5, 10, and 20) and colors (red, yellow, and blue), but all have the same health. These differences determine the number of Pikmin produced when the pellet is collected. Some Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, in a similar way to Queen Candypop Buds; the color is fixed when the Posy is destroyed, making it possible for the player to choose which to collect.

Pellet Posies also appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown or eaten. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage. They can also be thrown into an Onion that appears periodically, when thrown into the corresponding color, they release food depending on the number on the pellet.

In Pikmin 3, larger sizes of Pellet Posies have more HP, as opposed to all Pellet Posies having the same HP in Pikmin 2.

Notes

Reel notes

This sparsely growing plant is able to crystallize nectar into round pellets.

Olimar's notes

In the stem of the pellet posy, one can observe the muscle fiber unique to half-plant, half-animal species such as the Pikmin and candypop flowers, so the pellet posy is a species that can be considered a close relative. Although the ability to crystallize nectar is unique to a small group of the pellet weed family, the fact that these plants reach maturity so quickly and that their pellets contain such high concentrations of the natural nutrients in the soil explains why the Pikmin and so many of the other indigenous species are so reliant on these pellets for sustenance.

Louie's notes

On the quest for the perfect hors d'oeuvre? Slow cook this plant in a wood-fire oven, but be careful to only serve the tender pellet.

Locations

A group of every kind (except 5-size) of Pellet Posies in the Awakening Wood. The fallen 20-size Pellet changes colors, as do those of 1-size.

Pikmin 1

Two "1" Pellet Posies.

Pellet Posies are rather common in the first Pikmin game, especially at the Impact Site. Although there are 5-, 10-, and 20-weight pellets, Posies which actually grow these are not found in Pikmin.

Pikmin 2

In Pikmin 2, Pellet Posies appear regularly in the Valley of Repose and the Awakening Wood, but disappear from the Perplexing Pool the day after Yellow Pikmin are discovered, and are never found in the Wistful Wild. However, pellets without a plant can be found within all above-ground areas, usually as a drop from enemies. Neither pellets nor Pellet Posies are ever found in caves.

10-weight Pellet Posies are rare: there is one in the Valley of Repose, which changes colors and can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket starting on day 4. In the Awakening Wood, there are three, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the Pilgrim Bulb. The yellow one is near one of the Burgeoning Spiderworts, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of Yellow Pikmin to attack and retrieve the pellet, and the other two (red and blue) are at ground level.

The only 20-weight pellet in the game is also in Awakening Wood, situated on the ledge that is left around from where the Sunseed Berry is found. This pellet intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It appears starting on Day 11, and respawns five days after collected.

Strategy

Although the pellet posy is classified as a plant rather than an enemy, they are still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a captain. When hit, they make a "squeaking" sound. For an instant kill, throw your Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem.
