Artwork of a Glow Pikmin carrying a yellow glow pellet.

Glow pellets (ヒカリペレット^?, lit.: "Light pellet") are collectibles in Pikmin 4 that only appear in night expeditions. In these expeditions, they serve as a stand-in for pellets, and can be carried to the Lumiknoll (directly, or indirectly via Tricknolls) to propagate Glow Pikmin. They can be found in small piles on the ground and as the spoils of defeated enemies, with different enemies awarding different amounts. Every 3 glow pellets collected will spawn a new Glow Pikmin at the Lumiknoll, which will then teleport to the player's position and be added to their current squad automatically.

Visually, glow pellets resemble konpeitō and come in a variety of colors, though this does not affect gameplay.
