When the Onion generates Pikmin, in order to save time, like on a [[Challenge run#Speedrun|speedrun]], it is best to withdraw Pikmin from Onions so that the field total reaches 100. This is because the Pikmin will be expelled as seeds in case there are less than 100 Pikmin on the field. The process of waiting for the seeds to be expelled and planted, waiting for them to grow stems, and [[pluck]]ing them is quite lengthy. The time it takes to withdraw the Pikmin that cap the counter, and in the case of the new Pikmin being a different type, the time it takes to store them again and retrieve the new Pikmin, is considerably smaller overall. In speedruns, the route is normally planned out so that, whenever possible, the field counter is capped when new Pikmin are generated. Normally, it's also organized so that no time is wasted withdrawing Pikmin just to avoid plucking the new ones. | When the Onion generates Pikmin, in order to save time, like on a [[Challenge run#Speedrun|speedrun]], it is best to withdraw Pikmin from Onions so that the field total reaches 100.

In ''Pikmin 2'', after the [[Five-man Napsack]] has been obtained, the Pikmin can be told to [[carrying|carry]] a [[lie down|lying]] [[leader]] to an Onion if the player holds {{button|gcn|X|wii|C}}. This carries the advantage of having one leader go to an Onion automatically while the player can control the other leader, which increases the multitasking potential. This can also be done in the first game, by holding {{button|gcn|Paddown|wii|2}}, but because there is only one leader, the multitasking advantage does not exist.
