At the start of any ''Pikmin'' game, all the Pellet Posies are red. Specific-colored pellets can be found lying around in some places, while the rest are inside enemies or atop Pellet Posies.

Some Pellet Posies have pellets with fixed colors. These are normally found next to the [[Onion]] where the respective Pikmin type is discovered, although they can exist in other places as well. All other Posies' pellets constantly change color, once every few seconds, between the colors of the Pikmin that have so far been collected, in the following order: red, yellow, blue. Pellets cannot ever be purple or white, or aid in producing [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] or [[White Pikmin]] directly. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the addition of new Onions adds two more colors to the cycle, now making the order go red, rock, yellow, winged, blue.
