Pluck: Difference between revisions

In the ''[[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Captain Olimar's stage entrance animation has him emerge from the [[Hocotate ship]] and pluck three Pikmin from the ground. His neutral special attack allows him to do the same mid-battle, but only one Pikmin at a time – this move has no effect in mid-air, as a result. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', Olimar may have six Pikmin on the battlefield at once, but only three in ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]''. If he already has the maximum amount of Pikmin out, the move will fail.

Plucked Pikmin are automatically added to his group. In ''Brawl'', the Pikmin that are plucked are picked at [[Randomness|random]], although slightly influenced by the type of terrain (water-based platforms have a higher chance of giving [[Blue Pikmin]]); in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', they are plucked sequentially in the order of Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple, White before repeating. Plucked [[White Pikmin|White]] and [[Purple Pikmin]] make a slightly shorter back-flip, which, when used near a ledge, can allow the player to pluck several Pikmin in a row, and let the Red, Yellow and Blue ones fall off the platform, leaving only the remaining two types.
