Pellet Posies are a species of plant that appear in all Pikmin games. They possess a unique trait which allows them to crystallize their nectar into pellets, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a Pikmin. Pikmin can be ordered to carry these back to their Onions, and they are the main way Pikmin propagate.
The pellets come in different sizes (1, 5, 10, and 20) and colors (red, yellow, and blue), but all have the same health. These differences determine the number of Pikmin produced when the pellet is collected. Some Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, in a similar way to Queen Candypop Buds; the color is fixed when the Posy is destroyed, making it possible for the player to choose which to collect.
Pellet Posies also appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with similar purposes; hitting them causes them to drop their pellets, which can be thrown or eaten. Different number pellets do different amounts of damage. They can also be thrown into an Onion that appears periodically, when thrown into the corresponding color, they release food depending on the number on the pellet.
In Pikmin 3, larger sizes of Pellet Posies have more HP, as opposed to all Pellet Posies having the same HP in Pikmin 2.
Notes
Reel notes
“This sparsely growing plant is able to crystallize nectar into round pellets.”
Olimar's notes
“In the stem of the pellet posy, one can observe the muscle fiber unique to half-plant, half-animal species such as the Pikmin and candypop flowers, so the pellet posy is a species that can be considered a close relative. Although the ability to crystallize nectar is unique to a small group of the pellet weed family, the fact that these plants reach maturity so quickly and that their pellets contain such high concentrations of the natural nutrients in the soil explains why the Pikmin and so many of the other indigenous species are so reliant on these pellets for sustenance.”
Louie's notes
“On the quest for the perfect hors d'oeuvre? Slow cook this plant in a wood-fire oven, but be careful to only serve the tender pellet.”
Locations
Pikmin 1
Pellet Posies are rather common in the first Pikmin game, especially at the Impact Site. Although there are 5-, 10-, and 20-weight pellets, Posies which actually grow these are not found in Pikmin.
Pikmin 2
In Pikmin 2, Pellet Posies appear regularly in the Valley of Repose and the Awakening Wood, but disappear from the Perplexing Pool the day after Yellow Pikmin are discovered, and are never found in the Wistful Wild. However, pellets without a plant can be found within all above-ground areas, usually as a drop from enemies. Neither pellets nor Pellet Posies are ever found in caves.
10-weight Pellet Posies are rare: there is one in the Valley of Repose, which changes colors and can be found on a ledge in the vicinity of the rocket starting on day 4. In the Awakening Wood, there are three, located to the left of the landing site, near the location of the Pilgrim Bulb. The yellow one is near one of the Burgeoning Spiderworts, located on a ledge, ideal for the use of Yellow Pikmin to attack and retrieve the pellet, and the other two (red and blue) are at ground level.
The only 20-weight pellet in the game is also in Awakening Wood, situated on the ledge that is left around from where the Sunseed Berry is found. This pellet intermittently changes color, so time carefully when cutting it down to get the desired color of pellet. It appears starting on Day 11, and respawns five days after collected.
Strategy
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 captain. When hit, they make a "squeaking" sound. For an instant kill, throw your Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem.
Trivia
- Early test models of Pellet Posies have spiky stems, and when killed, instead of the petals falling off and the pellet falling flat on its back, the pellets remain sideways and the petals disappear in purple lights.
