In ''Pikmin 2'', two types of enemies are known to revive after they've been killed: the [[Spotty Bulbear]]s and the [[Gatling Groink]]s. Once their health points reach 0, a moderately slow process of revival occurs, where the enemy's health is filled up. The creature remains "dead" throughout this process, but once its health is full, two minutes later, it will be brought back to life. When its health reaches 0 during battle, the enemy will not release a [[spirit]] like most enemies, further hinting that the creature is not completely defeated.

This mechanic encourages the player to dispose of the creature, by bringing it to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]], before it continues attacking their Pikmin. If the enemy is killed while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], it will not leave a corpse, and hence, cannot revive. Finally, the only other way to ensure an enemy does not revive is to have it fall off the floor of a [[cave]], if possible.

In ''Pikmin 3'', the only way to defeat the Mysterious Life Form is when it transforms into the Plasm Wraith, at which point the player may proceed to truly defeat it.


Interestingly, both of the enemies that can revive can also freely roam the areas and caves they are found in.
The following enemies can revive after being defeated:
*{{icon|Spotty Bulbear|y}} (in ''Pikmin 2'' only)
*{{icon|Gatling Groink|y}}
*{{icon|Mysterious Life Form|y}}
 
Interestingly, all of the enemies that can revive can also freely roam the areas they are found in.
