HP regeneration

HP regeneration is a skill possessed by almost all enemies in Pikmin 1 and some of the larger ones in Pikmin 2. Decorated Cannon Beetles are known to do this (though not in all cases), and sometimes Spotty Bulbears too. Shearwigs regenerate HP while flying, but steadily lose it in water. Please note that not all enemies of the same species will have this ability. An enemy that can do this will slowly recover HP, but not as quickly as an enemy that is reviving.

Some enemies known to possess this ability in cases in Pikmin 2 are:

• Spotty Bulbears
• Gatling Groinks
• Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae
• Withering Blowhogs
• Orange Bulborbs
• Decorated Cannon Beetles
• Creeping Chrysanthemums
