A Flarlic (ガーリップ^?, lit.: "Garlip") is an object in Pikmin 4 that increases the Pikmin limit for Pikmin out in the field. A Flarlic resembles a colorless Onion, though it lacks the legs seen on them, and as its name suggests, it also resembles a garlic bulb; both its physical appearance and smell. Once collected and brought to the Onion, 10 more Pikmin will be allowed out in the field, up to a maximum of 100 (60 on Fierce mode). Each Flarlic weighs 5 units with a maximum carrier count of 10. In area summaries, a Flarlic is considered a type of Onion.

Any additional Flarlic that is collected when the Pikmin limit is already at 100 (or 60 on Fierce mode) will instead cause the Onion to spit out 5 drops of nectar or ultra-spicy nectar, specifically, 3 regular nectars and 2 ultra-spicy nectars. Starting a new game with Roll Over data resets the Pikmin limit, requiring Flarlic to be recollected to raise it again.

Locations

In Story Mode, there are 12 Flarlic to find; 2 in each area. 8 Flarlic are required to increase the Pikmin limit to the maximum of 100. On Fierce mode, only 4 are required to increase the limit to the maximum of 60. In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, there are 8 Flarlic.

Notes

Dalmo's notes

“Dice finely, grate, sauté in oil... I can barely stand the grumbling in my tummy right now. But when you see one of these shiver or twitch, you'll realize that this is a living thing, and we must treat it with consideration as such!”

Olimar's notes

“While it doesn't sprout or create Pikmin, this specimen is still a type of Onion. A bulb like this one can be divided into seven segments, is highly nutrient dense, and contains strong energizing and analeptic effects.

The compounds responsible for its characteristic smell resemble Onion growth hormones. When absorbed by an Onion, it fulfills a critical role in Pikmin proliferation by increasing the total number of Pikmin that can be withdrawn from the Onion at any given time.

Just like Onions, it contains muscle fibers, but flarlic has no animalistic qualities to speak of. However, if you place one near an Onion, it may start to move a bit, as though it's trying to roll over so it can be absorbed.”

Louie's notes

“Sauté in oil to add a fragrant spice to your dish. But eat too much, and you'll smell like it for days.”
