'''Yellow Pikmin''' are the second type of Pikmin collected in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and the fourth type in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. These Pikmin have what would appear to be large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids their hearing.

In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Yellow Pikmin can be found in [[The Forest of Hope]] inside a dormant [[Yellow Onion]]. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive [[bomb-rocks]], which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish [[gate]]s, and are required to demolish stone walls. Improper handling of bomb-rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised.

==''Pikmin 2''==
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the Perplexing Pool at the end of a long and twisted path; White Pikmin are necessary just to reach them. Yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity but no longer have the ability to carry bomb-rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in ''Pikmin 2''.

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Yellow Pikmin still retain the immunity to electricity. Additionally, they have an ability to conduct electricity. They can join hands near the ends of a wire. The circuit will start up again, and acts as a power source. Interestingly, it has been shown that Yellow Pikmin may become flower Pikmin if at leaf stage when completing a circuit. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8lDE0NfJwg During the Yellow Pikmin footage.</ref>

Yellow Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a trophy, and a kind of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground using his Pikmin Pluck special move. Yellow Pikmin, like in ''Pikmin 2'', are immune to electrical moves like Pikachu's Thunder or Forward Smash and can attack with electric properties. They can also be thrown higher than other Pikmin.
