A '''pellet''' ({{j|ペレット|Peretto|Pellet}}) is a crystallized chunk of [[nectar]] that contains vitamins and other nutrition. Pellets are used to produce [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], by bringing them to the [[Onion]], and are the main source of seeds at the start of the [[Pikmin series|games]], as large [[Enemy|creatures]] require many Pikmin to kill safely. | A '''pellet''' ({{j|ペレット|Peretto|Pellet}}) is a crystallized chunk of [[nectar]] that contains vitamins and other nutrition.

Pellets come in a variety of sizes, and each one produces a different amount of Pikmin. An Arabic numeral can be seen atop each one, reflecting its weight. Pellets with the numbers 1, 5, 8, 10, and 20 exist. If the color of the pellet matches the color of the [[Onion]] it is [[Carry|brought to]], that same number of Pikmin is produced (the exception being the number 1, which creates two Pikmin). If not, only half that number, rounded up, will appear. | Pellets come in a variety of sizes, and each one produces a different amount of Pikmin.

They are found on the top of [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground. Certain creatures of [[PNF-404]] also leave pellets as spoils at times; they have presumably eaten pellets, which could indicate the possibility that the same creatures are herbivores, if not omnivores. | They are found on the top of [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground.

* It was revealed through a trailer of an [[Pikmin prerelease information|earlier version]] of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' that all enemies that died would turn into pellets with a small sparkle of blue light, meaning that enemy corpses may have not been an idea at the time.

* If a non-[[Winged Pikmin]] tries to take a winged pellet from near the winged [[Onion]], they will be unable to return home, and behave the exact same way as if an obstacle in their way needs clearing. This is to prevent players from accidentally taking away pellets that are useful to help grow a Winged Pikmin army, and stops being true on the day after the winged Onion merges with the Master Onion. | * If a non-[[Winged Pikmin]] tries to take a winged pellet from near the winged [[Onion]], they will be unable to return home, and behave the exact same way as if an obstacle in their way needs clearing.
