Pellet Posy: Difference between revisions

These come in different sizes and colors: 1, 5, 10 and 20 with red, yellow, and blue, grey (''Pikmin 3''), and pink (''Pikmin 3'') pellets. Although there are 5, 10, and 20 pellets in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Pellet Posies which actually ''grow'' those pellets are not seen until ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Some of these plants' pellets change color at regular intervals, similarly to the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s, and drop an appropriate pellet when the plant itself is taken down. In ''Pikmin 3'', 1 and 5 pellets can be found. These pellets can be in red, blue, yellow, pink, or gray.

Pellet Posies are most common in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', especially at the [[Impact Site]]. 

[[File:Pellet_Posies_in_Awakening_Wood.jpg|thumb|250px|A group of every kind (except "5-size") of Pellet Posies in Awakening Wood. The fallen "20-size" Pellet changes colors, as those of "1-size".]]In ''Pikmin 2'', Pellet Posies appear regularly in the [[Valley of Repose]] and the [[Awakening Wood]], but disappear from the [[Perplexing Pool]] the day after [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered, and are never found in the [[Wistful Wild]]. However, pellets without a plant can be found within all above-ground areas, usually as a drop from enemies. Neither pellets nor Pellet Posies are ever found in caves.

As a sidenote, 10- and 20-weight Pellet Posies only appear in the [[Awakening Wood]] and the [[Valley of Repose]] in the ''Pikmin 2'' world. There are three 10s found in the Awakening Wood, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow 10 is near one of the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of [[Yellow Pikmin]] to attack and retrieve the pellet. The other two (red and blue) are at ground level. The only 20-weight pellet in the game is situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This 20 intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It will appear starting on Day 11, and will respawn five days after collected. The only special Pellet Posy in the Valley of Repose is a 10-pellet, and it changes colors; starting on Day 4, it can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket.

*It's scientific name, '''''Amplus Nutrius''''', is loosely translated to 'Ample Nutrients': ''Amplus'' being close to ample, and ''nutrius ''is close to nutrients. This is also based on the fact that it supplies ample nutrients to the creatures of the planet, most notably [[Pikmin (Species)|pikmin]].
