In ''Pikmin 3'', Yellow Pikmin once again exhibit their immunity to electricity and their ability to be thrown high. Technically, Yellow Pikmin are able to use bomb rocks again, but this isn't anything notable since all types of Pikmin can do so in this installment. Yellow Pikmin also show a new ability – they can [[dig]] faster than other Pikmin (although Rock Pikmin can [[Tunnel#Digging speeds|dig tunnels]] even faster). This is because the lamellae act as a shovel. This ability is rather helpful, since a number of objects in the game are buried. They also can now conduct electricity. If a [[Electrode|circuit]] is incomplete, enough Yellow Pikmin can continue the flow of electricity and complete it. The Yellow Pikmin also get flowered in the process, somehow. Their immunity to electricity is less useful now, as electricity only stuns other Pikmin, as opposed to instantly killing them. | In ''Pikmin 3'', Yellow Pikmin once again exhibit their immunity to electricity and their ability to be thrown high.

They remain the same in ''Pikmin 4'', although with doubled digging speed from the previous game, their title as champion diggers is without question. Attack power does not influence digging speed in this game, giving them an even further advantage as all other types all have normal digging speed. Electricity can kill once again, acting like other hazards and killing after 5 seconds. Circuits did not return, and Yellow Pikmin are not given much of a use beyond [[Blossoming Arcadia]], as electricty stops appearing for the most part. Their high throwing height is somewhat circumvented by Oatchi's ability to knock dowm high objects. Thankfully, Oatchi's ability to essentially replace this type is not exclusive to Yellow Pikmin, due to Oatchi's role as a jack of all trades, so Yellow Pikmin are not necissarily useless. | |||
Interestingly, in ''New Play Control! Pikmin'' and ''New Play Control!

This does not work on the GameCube versions. | Interestingly, in ''New Play Control! Pikmin'' and ''New Play Control!
