===Cloning glitch===
{{todo|Confirm the details of the method, and see if there are reasons for the inconsistent caps on the maximum number of cloned Pikmin.}}
{{ glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Helpful | p3 = Yes | p3d = Yes | youtube = XuimwQ1At9E
| effects = Allows Pikmin to be cloned using an [[Onion]], up to a certain point.
| prerequisites = Have a Pikmin type you want to clone unlocked and its Onion joined with the Master Onion, and have enough Pikmin to fill the field.
| howto = Take Pikmin of a different type to the one you want to clone out of the Onion until [[Pikmin limit|the field is full]]. Then open the [[Onion menu]], and send some number of Pikmin back to the Onion while taking an equal amount of the desired type out of the Onion. Select OK, and then immediately open the Onion menu again before the Pikmin you sent back enter the Onion. Repeat the process, sending some Pikmin in and taking some Pikmin out, and immediately opening the menu each time. Notice how the number of Pikmin of the type you want to clone in the Onion stays the same as you continue to take them out. Once there are no Pikmin left to send in, you can wait for the Onion animations to finish, and you will have cloned some Pikmin.
| notes = There is a cap to the maximum number of Pikmin you can have of a type with cloning. This cap is different for each type and varies inconsistently between attempts.
| normal = The Onion shouldn't be able to send out a greater number of Pikmin of a type than there are inside it.
