In the first two main games in the [[Pikmin series|series]], the player must continuously press the pluck button in order to activate the automatic mode. Unearthing Pikmin this way also activates the fastest plucking speed, explained below. If the player stops pressing the button, the leader will stop plucking automatically, after the current sprout. The walk from one seed to the next can also be canceled by pressing {{button|gc|b|wii|b}}. In addition, it is not possible to switch leaders while plucking. | In the first two main games in the [[Pikmin series|series]], the player must continuously press the pluck button in order to activate the automatic mode.

This is needlessly more precise than the recommended method, which explains why the games and manuals prefer talking about the [[Controls#Button mashing|button mashing]] way. | ||
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', automatic is the only mode of plucking. Pressing the button once near a sprout will automatically start the process, where the leader(s) pluck all Pikmin, one after the other. During this time, the player can switch control to an different leader and handle tasks with them. Pressing {{button|wiiu|b|wii|b|wiiu|pcb}} ({{button|wiiu|zl}} in Stylus mode) while the active leader is auto-plucking will make them stop their task. | In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', automatic is the only mode of plucking.
