'''Pikmin extinction''' occurs when every single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of a given type is lost. There are two types of extinction: a total one, which is declared when all Pikmin are lost, and a partial one, which happens when there are no Pikmin of a certain type in the area. | '''Pikmin extinction''' occurs when every single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of a given type is lost. There are two types of extinction: a total one, which is declared when all Pikmin are lost, and a partial one, which happens when there are no Pikmin of a certain type in the area. If there are Pikmin buried in another area, it will be counted as a partial extinction, and the affected Onion will spew out a single seed. If the last Pikmin of a different type is changed via [[Candypop Bud]], the same event will happen. | ||
