|effects = [[Onion|Onions]] will produce fewer Pikmin seeds than intended when retrieving a [[Pellet]] carried by [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] or [[White Pikmin]], even if said pellet matches the Onion's colour.

|howto = Order some Purple or White Pikmin to carry a pellet to an Onion matching its colour, without other Pikmin types interfering. Once the pellet has been carried to the Onion, new Pikmin seeds will be created, albeit less than normal.

|explanation = Purple or White Pikmin have no Onion. As such, they carry enemies and pellets back to a random Onion, provided no other Pikmin types interfere. Unlike what happens in ''Pikmin 2'', the digits that normally appear above an object that Pikmin are carrying are purple or white here, which could trick the game into thinking that the pellet's colour does not match the Onion's. The video provided with this explanation shows what should normally happen (blue Onion creating 5 Pikmin seeds from a 5-Pellet), then how the glitch occurs.
