When plucking a Seedling or when a Pikmin receives its Decor, a short discovery animation will play, based on the Pikmin's type and the decor it's wearing. You can replay the animation by going into the Pikmin viewer menu, selecting a Pikmin to see its information, and tapping on the Pikmin.

- Yellow Pikmin: Leans forward and stretches backward with its eyes closed.
- Blue Pikmin: Does a quick upward stretch with its eyes closed.
- White Pikmin: Leans forward and shakes its head from side to side.

- The Winged Pikmin has a cup with purple and blue stripes, like a Puffy Blowhog.
