To quickly destroy a small Pellet Posy, toss a single Pikmin directly onto the top of its flower. Larger Pellet Posies are more durable and should generally be attacked by multiple Pikmin."'' | ''"Most of the Pellet Posies you find produce 1 Pellets but 5 Pellets and 10 Pellets can be harvested from larger Pellet Posies.

As a sidenote, 10- and 20-weight Pellet Posies only appear in the [[Awakening Wood]] and the [[Valley of Repose]] in ''Pikmin 2''. There are three 10s found in the Awakening Wood, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the [[Pilgrim Bulb]]. The yellow 10 is near one of the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of [[Yellow Pikmin]] to attack and retrieve the pellet. The other two (red and blue) are at ground level. The only 20-weight pellet in the game is situated on the ledge that is left around from where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is found. This 20 intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It will appear starting on Day 11, and will respawn five days after collected. The only special Pellet Posy in the Valley of Repose is a 10-pellet, and it changes colors; starting on Day 4, it can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket. | As a sidenote, 10- and 20-weight Pellet Posies only appear in the [[Awakening Wood]] and the [[Valley of Repose]] in ''Pikmin 2''.

Pellet Posies are found in every area except [[Formidable Oak]]. They are found near the landing sites and where each Onion, except [[Pink Pikmin]] (where they are replaced by [[Flukeweed]] bearing Pellets), was found. The day after the Onion is found, their respective Pellet Posy stocks disappear. | |||

Although the Pellet Posy is classified as a plant rather than an enemy, they are still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a [[Leader|Captain]]. When hit, the make a "squeaking" sound; the larger the posy, the deeper the sound. For an instant kill, throw your Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem. | Although the Pellet Posy is classified as a plant rather than an enemy, they are still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a [[Leader|Captain]].
