'''Wild Pikmin''' are occasionally encountered throughout the series as a way of obtaining Pikmin without needing to grow them through the use of an [[Onion]]. They are often found fighting an [[enemy]], programmed such that they cannot die until they are in possession of a [[leader]]. They can also be found sitting [[idle]] or in the ground as [[sprout]]s. It is unknown how these Pikmin were propagated but several possibilities are implied, such as [[Olimar]] and/or [[Louie]] having previously visited the area and may have left them behind. There also certain [[Sprout#Pikmin seed|events]] which can naturally produce a seed as well as [[Smoky Progg|creatures]] able to uproot the sprouts. | '''Wild Pikmin''' are occasionally encountered throughout the series as a way of obtaining Pikmin without needing to grow them through the use of an [[Onion]].

There are also certain [[Sprout#Pikmin seed|events]] which can naturally produce a seed as well as [[Smoky Progg|creatures]] able to uproot the sprouts. All games' versions of [[Challenge Mode]] either start the player with a set number of Pikmin or sprouts available to pluck, but these are not counted here as they are not part of any game's main Pikmin count. | |||
