Three Red Pikmin.
Red Pikmin
Pikminicus rufusia
Red Pikmin are one of the most common colors of Pikmin, and they are the first kind of Pikmin that you get in both games. These Pikmin are immune to fire and they have the most potent attack strength of the primary colored Pikmin. They're also the only Pikmin that have noses. In the first Pikmin game Red Pikmin were the most powerful out of the three colors. But Reds aren't as strong as Purple Pikmin, which first appeared in Pikmin 2 (however, Purples are harder to create, due to their lack of an onion). They are good to use in Candypop Buds due to their prevalence throughout both games.
