'''Nectar''' ({{j|大地のエキスを|Daichi no ekisu o}}, lit.: "Earth extract") is a substance that increases the [[maturity]] of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], usually to the flower stage. It comes in the form of large drops of liquid that Pikmin can drink. It works quite differently in the main series and {{pb}}.

In {{p3}}, a single drop of nectar can flower 10 Pikmin. When a single Pikmin drinks from a drop of nectar, it will drink one tenth of the drop. Thus it is not possible for an entire large squad to be flowered from a single drop, but is it also not possible to waste a drop on a single Pikmin.

In {{p4}}, same as ''Pikmin 3'', nectar can only flower 10 Pikmin. [[Oatchi]] can also drink nectar, which will heal him or increase his maximum health if it is already full, similarly to the effects of a [[Scrummy Bone]]. The [[Sunsquish]] and the [[Foolix]] can disguise themselves as nectar drops. Nectar drops out in the overworld will stay there until the end of the day, even if the player enters [[cave]]s.

==In ''Pikmin Bloom''==
==In ''Pikmin Bloom''==
In {{pb}}, there are multiple types of nectar: nectar, yellow nectar, red nectar, and blue nectar. The different types of nectar make Pikmin flowers bloom in different colors. Regular nectar produces white flowers, and uniquely doesn't bloom leaf Pikmin straight to the flower stage, instead blooming them from leaf to bud and bud to flower in two steps. Yellow, red, and blue nectars produce flowers of those colors respectively, and bloom Pikmin straight to the flower stage. Unlike the usual blob that is nectar in other games in the series, these nectar take the appearance of colored, translucent balls, similar to the orb that a [[Honeywisp]] carries.
Nectar is a key item in {{pb}}. It takes the form of small translucent balls that can be fed to Pikmin individually; feeding Pikmin nectar is the main way to get [[petal]]s. Nectar is obtained by collecting [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]], completing [[weekly challenge]]s, and occasionally by [[Level|leveling up]]. There are many types of nectar, and each type has a limit on how many balls of it can be stored; this limit is 200 by default but can be increased with [[Shop|in-app purchases]].


There are also two rare types of nectar: roses and pansies. These can come in any of the four colors and are obtained through completing [[challenges]] and blooming [[Big Flowers]]. They take the appearance of a transparent orb with an icon of the type of flower inside. When fed to a Pikmin, it will bloom that Pikmin straight to the flower stage, like the colored nectars. The flower atop the Pikmin's head in this case will not be the standard ''[[Chaenostoma cordatum]]'', but instead the type of flower that the nectar represented.
===Feeding nectar===
[[File:PB Feeding Pikmin Nectar.png|thumb|left|150px|Feeding yellow rose nectar to a group of Pikmin.]]
Nectar can be fed to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden screen]]. In this screen, a large ball of nectar appears at the bottom, and swiping up from it throws a small ball towards the Pikmin. Pikmin run towards the ball and whichever one picks it up gets to drink it, blooming in the process (unless a leaf Pikmin drinks a basic Nectar, which only [[bud]]s it). If no Pikmin picks it up after a few seconds, it will disappear and return to the player's supply. Alternatively, nectar can be fed directly to Pikmin by holding down on the large ball and dragging the finger around the screen to give small balls to whatever Pikmin the finger passes over. This process works the same way for any type of nectar. The player can also double tap a Pikmin to focus on them, and while in this state only the Pikmin that is focused on will be fed nectar.


Nectar in this game is fed to Pikmin individually in the Pikmin Garden screen. A large ball of nectar appears at the bottom of the screen, and can be swiped up to throw a small ball towards the Pikmin. Pikmin can run towards the ball and whoever picks it up gets to drink it, blooming in the process. If no Pikmin picks it up after a few seconds, it will disappear and return to the player's supply. Alternatively, nectar can be fed directly to Pikmin by holding down on the large ball and dragging the finger around the screen to give small balls to whatever Pikmin the finger passes over. This process works the same way for each type of nectar. The player can also tap a Pikmin to focus on them, and while in this state only the Pikmin that is focused on can eat nectar.
When a Pikmin is bloomed into the flower stage with any nectar type, its flower will glow. Tapping on the glowing flower will add [[petal]]s of that color and type to the player's petal supply, making using nectar the main way of getting petals. Feeding a Pikmin also raises that Pikmin's [[friendship]]. A Pikmin cannot be fed nectar again until the glowing flower is tapped and stops glowing. If a Pikmin is fed six times within two hours, its flower will disappear after being tapped, and the Pikmin will be unable to be fed until its leaf regrows.

Tapping on the glowing flower will add [[petal]]s of that color to the player's petal supply, making using nectar the main way of getting petals. Feeding a Pikmin also raises that Pikmin's [[friendship]]. If a Pikmin is fed too many times, its flower will disappear and the Pikmin will be unable to be fed for some time.


Nectar is found primarily through collecting [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]], both from [[expedition]]s and from walking around. When a fruit is collected, it will add some amount of some type of nectar to the player's supply. The four types of nectar all have separate supplies, and there is a maximum amount of each type of nectar the player can store, which can be increased with [[Shop|in-app purchases]].

====Basic nectar====
Basic nectar comes in four colors: white (regular), yellow, red, and blue (in that order of rarity). Regular nectar produces white flowers and does not bloom leaf Pikmin straight to the flower stage, instead blooming them from leaf to bud and bud to flower in two steps. Yellow, red, and blue nectars produce flowers of those colors respectively, and bloom Pikmin straight to the flower stage.
====Seasonal flower species====
There are other species of flowers in ''Pikmin Bloom'', which are rarer, and each of them has corresponding types of nectar. These nectar types take the appearance of a transparent orb containing an icon of the type of flower it will produce. When fed to a Pikmin, these will bloom that Pikmin straight to the flower stage, like colored nectar, and the flower atop the Pikmin's head will be the type of flower that the nectar represented instead of the standard ''[[Chaenostoma cordatum]]''.
====Special nectar====
[[File:Special nectar icon.png|thumb|80px|Special nectar.]]
There is also an extremely rare type of nectar, called special nectar, displayed as a faceted translucent magenta heart shape. Feeding it to a Pikmin raises its [[friendship]] by either 1 red heart or a quarter of a gold heart regardless of when the nectar is given, much more than the small fraction of a heart other nectar types increase it by. It will also cause whatever color of flower previously on the Pikmin to bloom into a basic flower of the same color.

Nectar makes an appearance in ''[[Nintendo Land]]'''s attraction ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. Nectar is a common item that can be found inside "?" blocks, and appears as leftovers from destroyed enemies. Every three blobs, a player will level up. It takes level 5 to get a bud, and level 10 to get a flower. Players will also drop a few drops of nectar when hurt.

If the player isn't doing very well on a specific stage, the game will eventually spawn a rainbow "!" block near the starting point. Once this block is broken, a large drop of nectar appears that, when collected, instantly evolves all players to level 50.

*[[Pikmin prerelease information|Some early trailers]] for {{p1}} depict nectar as blue. Internally, nectar in ''Pikmin'' is called <code>water</code>, suggesting that originally, nectar was meant to be droplets of water early in development.
