Yellow Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin collected in Pikmin and the fourth type in Pikmin 2. 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. In both games the Yellow Pikmin are the lightest and can be thrown higher than other Pikmin. This is an ability which is needed to retrieve certain elevated ship parts and treasures. Also Yellow Pikmin can deal electrical properties to enemies (Super Smash bros Brawl only). Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees.

Pikmin

In Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin can be found in The Forest of Hope inside an inactive Yellow Onion. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive Bomb Rocks, which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish gates, and are required to demolish stone walls. Improper handling of Bomb Rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised. There are two types of walls. The gray walls are easier for the yellow pikmin to take down, and only require about 3 bomb rocks. The Black walls are much harder, and will make any Pikmin fanatic frown once they come upon one. They take about 6 bomb rocks to take it down.

Pikmin 2

In Pikmin 2, one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the Perplexing Pool at the end of a long and twisted path sitting atop a tree; White Pikmin are necessary just to reach them. Yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity, because on the close-up scene on Pikmin 2 it shows that they radiate with static electricity, and the ship's static electricity sensors are off the hook. But the Yellow Pikmin no longer have the ability to carry Bomb Rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in Pikmin 2.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Yellow Pikmin appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a trophy, and a kind of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground using his Pikmin Pluck special move. Yellow Pikmin, like in Pikmin 2, are immune to electrical moves like Pikachu's Thunder or Forward Smash and can attack with electric properties. They can also be thrown higher than other Pikmin.

Yellow Pikmin trophy

"A type of Pikmin. Take a nutrient-rich pellet to a flying saucer known as an Onion, and it will produce the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. Yellow ones fly higher than other Pikmin when tossed by Olimar or Louie. Unlike other Pikmin, they're also highly resistant to electricity, which makes them valuable when battling enemies like Anode Dweevils."

Pikmin 3

Not much is known yet about Yellow Pikmin in Pikmin3, but many expect that they will be the same as in Pikmin2. It has been confirmed that Yellow Pikmin will make an appearance in Pikmin3.
