(Moved the odd-colored Pellet Posies info from here to Glitches in Pikmin 3, since this is a glitch first and foremost.)
(The odd-colored Pellet Posies are not a glitch at all but rather just the result of how pellet posies change color in Pikmin 3. Expanded and renamed the section to describe this more generally.)

In ''Pikmin 3'', when a pellet on a [[Pellet Posy]] changes color, it will change in a quick gradient rather than instantaneously. The pellet spends 2 frames showing colors in-between its previous color and the color it's changing to, before arriving at the new color. It is possible to take photos of these transitional colors with the [[KopPad]] camera, which can produce images with pellets that appear orange, purple, brown, and other colors.


In some areas, right after the day starts, the player can pan the [[radar]] to where certain [[Pellet Posies]] are, and by looking at them on the TV screen, they will be able to see that their pellets have weird colors. The most common place to try to this on is the corpse of the [[Quaggled Mireclops]].
Strangely, in the original ''Pikmin 3'', it is possible to view pellets in the middle of a color transition on the [[radar]] at the start of the day. By panning to the radar to certain sections of areas (such as the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] arena after that boss has been defeated), and looking at the TV screen, the pellet will show one of these transitional colors until the gameplay is unpaused or the segment is visited.
