Just tested every combination of Pikmin for P4 colour order: I don’t have the Purple and White Onions to test where they fall.

'''Pellet Posies''' ({{j|ペレット草|Peretto Sō|Pellet Grass}}) are a species of [[plant]] that appear in all main-series [[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. | '''Pellet Posies''' ({{j|ペレット草|Peretto Sō|Pellet Grass}}) are a species of [[plant]] that appear in all main-series [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]].

The pellets come in different sizes (1, 5, 10, and 20) and colors (matching the colors of the [[Onion]]s). 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. The order that the color cycles is always the chronological order that the Pikmin are discovered. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and {{p2}}, this cycle goes red, yellow, blue. In {{p3}}, the order is red, gray, yellow, pink, blue. Using [[glitches]] or [[sequence breaks]] to discover Onions in a different order in any game has no effect on the cycles. | The pellets come in different sizes (1, 5, 10, and 20) and colors (matching the colors of the [[Onion]]s).

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''. | After a pellet posy is taken down, it disappears, but returns the next day as a small stub, which grows over time.
