Red Pikmin are the first variety of Pikmin identified in both Pikmin games. Aside from their color, the distinguishing feature of Red Pikmin is their pointed noses. These Pikmin possess an immunity to fire, making them useful for fighting Fiery Bulblaxs and Fiery Blowhogs and passing by - or, in Pikmin 2, destroying - fire geysers. They spend nights in the Red Onion. Of the three Pikmin types in the first game, they have the greatest attack strength, and are bested only by Purple Pikmin in Pikmin 2.
In both games, they are found on Day 1, which, in both cases, has no time limit. In Pikmin, the Red Onion is located where Olimar lands, and ejects the first seed; in the second game, 5 reds are found immediately by Olimar, while the Red Onion is nearer to Louie's landing spot. In order to increase the number of them, a Captain can order corpses or Pellets to be carried to the Red Onion, or other Pikmin can be thrown into a Crimson Candypop Bud.
