Red Pikmin
Pikminicus rufusiaare
Red Pikmin one of the most recognized 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 these pikmin were the most powerful out of the three. They can be thought of as "grunt" pikmin, due to their higher attack strength. Other Pikmin are not suited as grunts; yellows are "specialists", using bomb-rocks, having accessibility to high places, able to pass through certain gates. Blues are used in water, which is not too much of a dominating terrain. Red Pikmin are the most powerful out of the the ordinary Pikmin which are Red, Yellow, and Blue, but Reds aren't as strong as Purple Pikmin. However, Purples are harder to create, due to their lack of an onion. They may be good to use in Candypop Buds if you have many.
