HP regeneration

HP regeneration is a skill possessed by some of the larger enemies in Pikmin and 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 are:

• Spotty Bulbears
• Fiery Blowhogs
• Beady Long Legs
• Red Bulborbs
• Armored Cannon Beetles

In Pikmin 2:

• Spotty Bulbears
• Segmented Crawbster
• Gatling Groinks
• Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae
• Withering Blowhogs
• Orange Bulborbs
• Decorated Cannon Beetles
• Creeping Chrysanthemums
• Beady Long Legs
• Raging Long Legs
• Titan Dweevils
• Fiery Bulblaxes
• Ranging Bloysters
• Anode Beetles
• Doodlebugs

• Breadbugs and Giant Breadbugs regenerate health instantly after dragging food into their nest.
