'''Pellet Posies''' are a species of plant that appear in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize their [[nectar]] into [[pellet]]s, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. | '''Pellet Posies''' are a species of [[plant]] that appear in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize their [[nectar]] into [[pellet]]s, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Pikmin can be ordered to carry these back to their [[Onion]]s, and they are the main way Pikmin propagate. | ||

These differences determine the number of Pikmin produced when the pellet is collected. Some Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, in a similar way to [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s; the color is fixed when the Posy is destroyed, making it possible for the player to choose which to collect. | ||
After a pellet posy is taken down, it disappears, but returns the next day as a small stub, which grows over time. They take four minutes to grow to full height and generate a new pellet, in ''Pikmin''. | |||
In ''[[Pikmin | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', all Posies have the same size and [[health]], but in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', larger pellets need larger Pellet Posies, which in turn have more health. | ||

"''It takes just one Pikmin to cut down a Pellet Posy, but often several Pikmin must carry its Pikmin-producing pellet to an Onion.''" | |||

"''Most of the Pellet Posies you find produce 1 Pellets but 5 Pellets and 10 Pellets can be harvested from larger Pellet Posies. To quickly destroy a small Pellet Posy, toss a single Pikmin directly onto the top of its flower. Larger Pellet Posies are more durable and should generally be attacked by multiple Pikmin.''" | |||

Pellet Posies are rather common in the first ''Pikmin'' game, especially at [[The Impact Site]]. Although there are 5-, 10-, and 20-weight pellets, Posies which actually grow these are not found in ''Pikmin''. Pellet Posies are also absent from [[The Final Trial]]. | |||

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. | 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]].

In the Awakening Wood, there are three, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow one 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, and the other two (red and blue) are at ground level. | ||
The only 20-weight pellet in the game is also in the Awakening Wood, situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This pellet intermittently changes color, so careful timing is needed when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It appears starting on day 11, and respawns five days after collected. | |||
===''Pikmin 3''=== | |||
Pellet Posies are found in every area except the [[Formidable Oak]]. They are found near the landing sites and where each Onion is first found, except for [[Winged Pikmin]] (where they are replaced by [[Flukeweed]] bearing pellets). The day after the Onion is found, their respective Pellet Posy stocks disappear. | |||

Although the Pellet Posy is classified as a [[plant]] rather than an [[enemy]], it is still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a [[captain]]. When hit, they make a "squeaking" sound. For an instant kill, [[throw]] your Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem. The exception to this quick knockout is [[Winged Pikmin]] and Posies larger than size "1" in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''; for both cases, the pellet is detached gradually with attacks. | |||

Pellet Posies also appear in the "Distant Planet" stage in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]] with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown or eaten. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage. They can also be thrown into an [[Onion]] that appears periodically, which will then eject items, if they are on. Higher numbers and matching colors equal more items. | |||
