There is a disadvantage, however: the enemy will crumble when killed without leaving behind a carcass to give you more Pikmin (making it perfect for Spotty Bulbears & Gatling Groinks), and will instead drop nectar or sprays.

Olimar and Louie can get two sprays in one drop by doing one of these strategies; dismissing their Pikmin and going near the drop, but not touching it. Then switch to the other leader and run towards the drop. Right before the leader touches the drop, switch leader. The previous leader will start obtaining the drop if you did it right. Go to the drop with your current leader before the drop is gone. Both leaders then obtain the drop, giving them two doses. Another easier way is to put a leader near the drop. Then, switch a leader, and go to the inactive leader. Then, simply push the other leader into the drop, and he obtains the drop.

A Spray (Also called a Potion) is an item in Pikmin 2 that give temporary abilities. In Pikmin 2, you discover that one of the new plant species, dubbed the Burgeoning Spiderwort, can grow berries that have special compositions that can be used to your advantage. When ten are collected, you create a spray. There are two kinds of sprays, Ultra-Spicy and Ultra-Bitter.

Sprays may look differently colored under the varied lighting conditions of the game's caves. Normally, Spicy sprays appear red and Bitter sprays appear purple. However, as can be seen on the left, bitter sprays can appear blue.

Obtained from the red berries, this spray is to be used on the Pikmin. When used, the Pikmin temporarily get enhanced strength and speed, and their leaves/buds/flowers glow red. This is helpful in tough boss fights and when you are pressed for time. However, Pikmin can die much easier when sprayed. The spray normally wears off after forty seconds.

Ultra-bitter Spray

Main article: Ultra-bitter Spray.

Obtained from the purple berries. This spray doesn't affect Pikmin (excluding 2-Player Battle), but is rather intended for enemies. When used, it will turn any enemies in the path of the spray into stone for approximately nine seconds; this should be enough time anyway for the enemy to be killed or severely weakened. However, if an enemy us killed when the spray is active, you will receive no carcus for your troubles and instead receive nectar or more sprays.

Obtaining Sprays

Both types of sprays can be made by bringing ten of the berry needed to Olimar's rocket, which will create a spray from the berries. Sprays can also be found in any places where nectar is, in the form of red or purple nectar drops. Each one Olimar and Louie finds resting on the ground counts as one full spray. Spray Drops can be found by defeating Unmarked SpectralidsHoneywisps, and the Secret Insects at the Wistful Wild. They can also be found in eggs. Olimar and Louie can get two sprays in one drop using this glitch.

In demo images of Pikmin 2 from before its release, there was a red spray, likely the Ultra-spicy Spray, but also a yellow spray(probably a nectar spray) shown in the image as the bottom command on the D-pad. No exact information has been provided as to whether these were sprays at the time and if they truly did what the current sprays do now.
