'''Red Pikmin''' ({{j|赤ピクミン|Aka Pikumin}}) are a red species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with the special abilities of [[fire]] resistance and strong [[Combat|attack]] power. They are the first Pikmin type seen or discovered in all games by the main playable captain, and are usually considered the "main" type of Pikmin due to their relatively simple traits and early discovery. They are cultivated via the [[Red Onion]] (or the Master Onion), and like [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white. These Pikmin are present in all games of the series, and make an appearance in all game modes.

==Traits and abilities==
[[File:Red Pikmin fire resistance P1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Red Pikmin are immune to [[fire]], as seen here.]]
Red Pikmin have spiked noses, and as a result, have above average [[Combat|attack]] power, at 1.5&times; that of most types. This means they deal more damage when latched onto an enemy, making them especially useful in battle.

Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic. According to Olimar's notes in the Pikmin 4 Piklopedia, this is because their skin and muscle fibers are made up of a flame-resistant cellulose. This ability is most useful in ''Pikmin 4'', due to the presence of [[fire starter]]s that only they can pick up and [[sizzling floor]]s that only they can extinguish. It is also useful in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'' due to the fact that [[fire geyser]]s are indestructible and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s are prevalent. Their ability is less useful in ''Pikmin 2'', where the geysers can be destroyed by any Pikmin, and Fiery Blowhogs can easily be defeated with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Their main use in the second game is for defeating [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, though this task doesn't always require them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they act just like in all other games, except they also have the ability to stomp out [[flames]], allowing Olimar or other Pikmin safe passage.

In [[2-Player Battle]] in {{p2}}, Player 1's army is made up of Red Pikmin, while Player 2's army is made up of [[Blue Pikmin]]. For the sake of fairness, their attack strength is reduced in this mode to equal that of Blue Pikmin, and the only elemental hazards are from [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and [[Watery Blowhog]]s.

==In ''Pikmin''==
===Discovery===
[[File:First Red Pikmin P1 screenshot.png|thumb|200px|The first Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin''.]]
In {{p1}}, Red Pikmin are the first type of Pikmin ever discovered by [[Captain Olimar]]. They are discovered in [[The Impact Site]], along with their Onion, just a short walk away from the landing site. When the dormant Onion wakes up and ejects a seed, and [[Olimar]] plucks the seed, it marks the first time Olimar ever sees a Pikmin. Here, at least 20 Red Pikmin must be grown in order to carry back the [[Main Engine]], so that Olimar can exit the planet's surface during the night. However, it's possible to grow up to 25 Red Pikmin on the first day.

===Uses===
There is no task in the game that can only be completed with Red Pikmin specifically. However, as they are the first type discovered, they are by default required until another type is obtained. In addition, the following tasks are intended to be completed with Red Pikmin, though they can be done with other types:
*Ship parts
**{{icon|Libra|y}}: Red Pikmin are needed to [[carry]] the piece through [[fire geyser]]s, unless careful timing, [[whistle]]s, and a large number of carriers are used.
**{{icon|Analog Computer|y}}: Same as the Libra.
**{{icon|Omega Stabilizer|y}}: Same as the Libra.
**{{icon|Secret Safe|y}}: Red Pikmin are the only ones that can cross the path of fire geysers necessary to complete the puzzle leading to this part, but with accurate aiming and a [[Throw#Longer throw trick|long throw]], one can throw [[Yellow Pikmin]] from the northern bridge onto the end of the geyser path.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.

{{clear}}

==In ''Pikmin 2''==
===Discovery===
[[File:Louie Sees A Pikmin.jpg|thumb|200px|Louie seeing a Red Pikmin for the first time in ''Pikmin 2''.]]
In {{p2}}, the first Red Pikmin are found by Captain Olimar, immediately after landing on the planet. There are 5 Pikmin fighting a [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] right next to where Olimar lands. Whistling them gives Olimar control over them, which he uses to defeat the enemy. After this, once [[Louie]] has regained consciousness, he walks a short distance and finds the Red Onion. From there, Louie builds up the population in order to crush a [[bag]] separating him from Olimar, and from then on, the leaders are united.

===Uses===
There is no task in the game that can only be completed with Red Pikmin specifically. However, as they are the first type discovered, they are by default required until another type is obtained. In addition, the following tasks are intended to be completed with Red Pikmin, though they can be done with other types:
*Treasures
**{{icon|Gyroid Bust|y}}: They are needed to [[carry]] the piece through [[fire geyser]]s, unless careful timing, [[whistle]]s, and fast carrying strategies are used or the fire geysers are destroyed.
**{{icon|Essence of Despair|y}}: There is no water around to defeat the [[Fiery Bulblax]] with other Pikmin, so Red Pikmin are needed. But it can be killed using the alternative methods listed below.
**{{icon|Frosty Bauble|y}}: Same as the Essence of Despair.
**{{icon|Gemstar Wife|y}}: Same as the Essence of Despair.
**{{icon|Dimensional Slicer|y}} (US) / {{icon|Patience Tester|y}} (Europe): Same as the Essence of Despair.
**{{icon|Insect Condo|y|v=TH}}: Same as the Essence of Despair.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Fiery Bulblax|y}}: Only Red Pikmin can withstand its flames. However, if the enemy is submerged, its fire goes out. Even with the fire active, [[Purple Pikmin]] can damage it with their impact damage, and [[White Pikmin]] can be ingested to poison it. In certain caves, it can be lured into walking into the [[abyss]] as well.
**{{icon|Fiery Dweevil|y}}: This enemy can set a large group of Pikmin on fire at once, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.

{{clear}}
==In ''Pikmin 3''==
===Discovery===
[[File:Alph Finds Red Pikmin.png|200px|thumb|Alph first finding a Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3''.]]
In {{p3}}, the story begins with [[Charlie]] discovering [[Yellow Pikmin]] and ending up captured by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. After this prologue, [[Alph]] wakes up in a small puddle at the [[Tropical Wilds]]. He walks a short distance before seeing a Red Pikmin, which surprises both of them. After walking a bit more, he finds three wild Red Pikmin trying to free their Onion from a branch. Alph [[throw]]s the Pikmin at it and succeeds in freeing it. He then proceeds to grow his army up to 20 (21 if the one sitting on the pot is obtained), so that he can push the [[cardboard box]] and get back to the [[S.S. Drake]], as well as try to rescue [[Brittany]]. Although Yellow Pikmin are seen first, Red Pikmin are the first type to have their Onion discovered, and thus, formally introduced.

===Uses===
There is no task in the game that can only be completed with Red Pikmin specifically. However, as they are the first type discovered, they are by default required until another type is obtained. In addition, the following tasks are intended to be completed with Red Pikmin, though they can be done with other types:
*Fruits
**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}}: The one in the [[Distant Tundra]] is inside of a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]. This Slooch is not near any water, so Red Pikmin must be used. Other types can attack it as detailed below, though.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Plasm Wraith|y}}: This boss is able to create fire-type elemental plasms that create fire over a large area. But there is a short period before the fire starts burning, and the elemental plasm can be destroyed before then.
**{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y}}: The Pyroclasmic Slooch is a slug that is cloaked in [[Fire|flames]]. By luring one into water, however, its flames temporarily go out while it remains in the water, and can be attacked by any Pikmin type. Other than that, [[Rock Pikmin]] deal impact damage to Slooches even if they are cloaked in fire, although the player should [[whistle]] them right afterwards to save them. There is also a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch#Glitch|glitch]] that allows other types of Pikmin to attack a Slooch without catching fire.

{{clear}}
==In ''Pikmin 4''==
===Discovery===
[[File:Pikmin 4 pluck.jpg|200px|thumb|Plucking the first Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
In {{p4}}, Red Pikmin are discovered in the tutorial on day 1, but not straight away. After the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] lands, they first find [[Oatchi]], rescue [[Collin]], make their way through the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] and rescue [[Shepherd]], and make it to the landing site of the [[Rescue Command Post]]. There, the Red Onion is found buried in the ground, and after digging it up with Oatchi and pulling it to the landing site, the Onion springs into action and releases a single Red Pikmin seed, which the player can pluck to start growing a squad.

In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], a Red Onion stands next to the [[S.S. Dolphin]] at the start of day 1. It is already active and contains 10 Red Pikmin.

===Uses===

There are many items in ''Pikmin 4'' that require the use of Red Pikmin to collect. This is due to the existence of [[sizzling floor]]s, obstacles that can only be destroyed by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s, tools that can only be carried by Red Pikmin.
Additionally, since they are the first type discovered, there are certain tasks that require Red Pikmin to be used:
*[[Rescue Command Post]] ([[Treasure]]s)
**{{Icon|Stone of Advancement|y|v=P4}}: Whilst [[Oatchi]] is needed to knock it down from the high platform, Red Pikmin are required as it [[weight|weigh]]s 10 and Oatchi can only carry 3 at the moment.
**{{icon|Path Creator|y|v=P4}}: It is on a high ledge which cannot be reached with Oatchi.
*[[Enemies]]
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Fiery Bulblax|y|v=P4}}: Only Red Pikmin and [[Glow Pikmin]] can withstand its flames. However, if the enemy is submerged, its fire goes out. White Pikmin can be ingested to poison it.
**{{icon|Fiery Dweevil|y|v=P4}}: This enemy can set a large group of Pikmin on fire at once, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y|v=P4}}: This enemy is covered in fire so only Red Pikmin and Glow Pikmin can withstand the flames. However, it is possible to submerge the enemey allowing other Pikmin types to attack it.
**{{icon|Titan Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots strong and fast fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Scorchcake|y|v=P4}}: The underside of this enemy is covered in fire, so only Red Pikmin or Glow Pikmin can withstand the fire but the upperside has no flames meaning all Pikmin types can attack it.
**{{icon|Ancient Sirehound|y|v=P4}}: The fourth phase of this fight uses fire based attacks.
{{clear}}
Red Pikmin are also required in certain areas due to the need to use a fire starter:
*[[Cave]]s
**[[Frozen Inferno]]: Groups of [[dried plant]]s block access to multiple [[treasure]]s as well as the entrance to sublevel 2.
**[[Cradle of the Beast]]: Dried plants on sublevel 1 block carrying routes and the entrance to sublevel 2.
*[[Dandori Challenge]]s
**The entrance to a Dandori Challenge in the [[Giant's Hearth]] is surrounded by dried plants.

==In ''Hey! Pikmin''==
===Discovery===
[[File:Hey! Pikmin first group of Red Pikmin.jpg|thumb|200px|The first group of Red Pikmin whistled in ''Hey! Pikmin''.]]
In {{hp}}, after Captain Olimar crash-lands on the planet, he explores the area he lands in until he stumbles upon a lone Red Pikmin. After he and the [[S.S. Dolphin II]]'s pod stare at it for a bit, it runs away. After moving forward some more, Olimar and his ship find the Pikmin's hiding spot, a bush. After using the [[whistle]] here, the Pikmin that was hiding behind, along with three others, pop out of the bush and join him. These Pikmin are used shortly after to collect some [[Sparklium Seed]]s that are out of reach. Eventually, Olimar finishes exploring this starting area, and leaves the Pikmin he found behind. The adventure proper then starts, with the area [[First Expedition]], where he once again meets the Red Pikmin, again, hiding behind a bush. This time, and from here on out, he takes any Red Pikmin he finds and salvages at the end of the area with him, and leaves them in the [[Pikmin Park]].

===Required uses===
{{todo|Write a list of treasures requiring Red Pikmin to collect.}}
Red Pikmin must be used in order to collect the following treasures and defeat the following enemies, and there are no glitches or exploits that allow other Pikmin types to do so.

*Enemies 
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=HP}}: Red Pikmin are the only ones able to defeat it.
**{{icon|Fiery Dwarf Bulblax|y}}: Because of its fiery back, it can only be defeated with Red Pikmin.
**{{icon|Fiery Young Yellow Wollywog|y}}: Its body is perpetually on fire, meaning that only Red Pikmin can kill it.
**{{icon|Fireflap Bulborb|y}}: Since its body is on fire, only Red Pikmin can be thrown at one to take it out.

===Recommended uses===
Other Pikmin can be used for these tasks, but Red Pikmin are especially recommended due to their fire resistance.

*Enemies
**{{icon|Fiery Blowlet|y}}: Red Pikmin are recommended to defeat it, but other Pikmin types can defeat it too.
**{{icon|Firesnout Beetle|y}}: Red Pikmin are recommended to defeat it but other Pikmin can defeat it too.

{{clear}}
==In ''Pikmin Bloom''==
In {{pb}}, Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin type unlocked, with 2 being given to the player during the tutorial. Their [[seedling]]s require a minimum of 1 carrying strength to be retrieved, along with 1000 steps to grow. In [[expedition]]s, they have a carrying strength of 1 and have a [[Expedition#Speed|time modifier]] of 1. In [[mushroom battle]]s, they have a base [[Mushroom battle#Attack power|attack power]] of 4 and are the only Pikmin that can battle Fire Mushrooms.

==Notes==
===Dalmo's Notes===
{{transcript|These peppy little darlings are a vivid scarlet red! As you can tell by their appearance, these critters are very passionate. In fact, they're such hotheads that they're immune to fire! Even their displays of affection are ardent. They'll beat their tiny fists on you in an abundance of enthusiasm!|block=y}}

===Olimar's Notes===
{{transcript|Pikmin are part of the Ambuloradicis class, which consists of creatures that exhibit both plant and animal characteristics. A Pikmin will instinctively follow whoever plucks it from the ground, so it so quite common for them to form symbiotic relationships with another species or accept a leader of a different species, as it serves the goal of propagating their own species as a whole. The Red Pikmin is the most common Pikmin species. It can be identified by the nose-like protuberance on its head and its highly aggressive behavior. It also has a few surprising and unique qualities- for example, its immunity to extreme heat and fire, despite the fact that it's a living organism. This can be explained by looking closely at its skin and muscle fibers, which are made up of a flame-resistant cellulose.|block=y}}

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
{{external|Pikmin as fighters|[[smashwiki:Pikmin (species)|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}
Red Pikmin appear in {{ssbb}}, {{ssb4}}, and {{ssbu}} as a type of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground via Pikmin Pluck. Red Pikmin, like in the games, deal a high amount of damage in most attacks; Purple Pikmin only have higher knockback, but do less damage to foes than Red Pikmin. Also, Red Pikmin have fire effects on their attacks, and are immune to fire attacks such as Bowser's Fire Breath or Mario's Fireballs. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', they also appear as trophies, and in ''Brawl'' exclusively, two [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|stickers]] exist with Red Pikmin on them, one with a reclining Pikmin, and one with a posing Pikmin.

*The first piece of [[downloadable content]] in [[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|''Animal Crossing: City Folk'']] was a hat item called "Red Pikmin". The item covers all of the character's head except the face, and stems out into a leaf. It could be sent to other regions through befriending Japanese players. The same item was later made available in Europe and then North America ({{date|25|March|2009}} as the second DLC item). It is worth 360 Bells.
*A rectangular pot with a red, blue, and Yellow Pikmin planted in it is a piece of furniture in ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''. It can only be obtained by hacking, however.
*A Red Pikmin Hat can be found in Streetpass Mii Plaza by playing Find Mii.
*Red Pikmin are the only Pikmin type to be used as the default for more than one [[Dandori Battle]] stage, as they are present in both [[Trial Run]] and [[Hot Sandy Duel]].
*If the player only has discovered Red Pikmin, it will always be the recommended type in non-caves
