'''Yellow Pikmin''' are the second type of Pikmin collected in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and the fourth type in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. These Pikmin have what would appear to be large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids their hearing.

===Pikmin===
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Yellow Pikmin can be found in [[The Forest of Hope]] inside a dormant [[Yellow Onion]]. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive [[bomb-rocks]], which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish [[gate]]s, and are required to demolish stone walls. Improper handling of bomb-rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised.
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Yellow Pikmin are discovered in [[The Forest of Hope]] inside an inactive [[Yellow Onion]]. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive [[Bomb Rock]]s, which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish [[gate]]s, and are required to demolish [[Wall|stone walls]]. Improper handling of Bomb Rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised. There are three types of walls. The first kind are White Stone Walls, which are the easiest for the yellow pikmin to destroy, as they only require about 3 bomb rocks. The Gray Stone Walls are the second kind, and they take 6 bomb rocks to break down. The Black Stone Walls are the hardest wall to demolish, and will make any Pikmin fanatic frown once they come upon one. They take a whopping 9 bomb rocks to take down. 


==''Pikmin 2''==
===Pikmin 2===
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the Perplexing Pool at the end of a long and twisted path; White Pikmin are necessary just to reach them. Yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity but no longer have the ability to carry bomb-rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in ''Pikmin 2''.


==''Pikmin 3''==
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the [[Perplexing Pool]] at the end of a long and twisted path sitting atop a tree. [[Red Pikmin]] are needed to defeat a [[Fiery Bulblax]], and [[White Pikmin]] are needed to demolish a [[Gate|Poison Bramble Gate]]. Yellow Pikmin are immune to [[electricity]], because on the close-up scene on ''Pikmin 2'' it shows that they radiate with static electricity, and the ship's static electricity sensors are off the hook. But the Yellow Pikmin no longer have the ability to carry Bomb Rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in ''Pikmin 2, ''making them impossible to carry''.''
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Yellow Pikmin still retain the immunity to electricity, and additionally have an ability to conduct electricity: they join hands near the ends of a wire, and the circuit starts up again and acts as a power source. It has been shown that Yellow Pikmin may become flower Pikmin if at leaf stage when completing a circuit in this manner. Furthermore, they regain the ability to carry bomb-rocks, and use them to attack enemies. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8lDE0NfJwg becoming flower Pikmin when conducting electricity (during the Yellow Pikmin footage)</ref>
===Pikmin 3===
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', players are able to discover Yellow Pikmin on the first day when taking control of Charlie. New abilities in this game include conductivity, which allows Yellow Pikmin to link up by holding hands, and pass electricity from a broken circuit. As a result, the object the wires were originally connected to gains power, and the Yellow Pikmin grow flowers on their heads. Yellow Pikmin also dig faster than other types of Pikmin and they make higher-pitched sounds when thrown in Pikmin 3. Yellow Pikmin are also able to throw Bomb Rocks once again.


Yellow Pikmin are first encountered by [[Charlie]], but flee when he faces the Vehemoth Phosbat. Later on, when [[Brittany]] falls out of the ship and into cave (which consequently separates her from [[Alph]]), she finds two Yellow Pikmin trying to complete a circuit. The player must pluck three buried Yellow Pikmin nearby to complete the circuit; upon doing so, the Yellow Onion is activated and flies up out of the ground.
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Yellow Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a trophy, and a kind of Pikmin [[Olimar]] can pull from the ground using his Pikmin Pluck special move. Yellow Pikmin, like in ''Pikmin 2'', are immune to electrical moves like Pikachu's Thunder or Forward Smash and can attack with electric properties. They can also be thrown higher than other Pikmin.

Yellow Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin discovered in Pikmin and the fourth type you find in Pikmin 2. These Pikmin have what would appear to be very large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids their hearing. In both games the Yellow Pikmin are the lightest and can be thrown higher than other Pikmin. This is an ability which is needed to retrieve certain elevated ship parts and treasures. Also, Yellow Pikmin can deal electrical damage to enemies in Super Smash Bros Brawl. Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees.

Appearences

Pikmin

In Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin are discovered in The Forest of Hope inside an inactive Yellow Onion. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive Bomb Rocks, which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish gates, and are required to demolish stone walls. Improper handling of Bomb Rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised. There are three types of walls. The first kind are White Stone Walls, which are the easiest for the yellow pikmin to destroy, as they only require about 3 bomb rocks. The Gray Stone Walls are the second kind, and they take 6 bomb rocks to break down. The Black Stone Walls are the hardest wall to demolish, and will make any Pikmin fanatic frown once they come upon one. They take a whopping 9 bomb rocks to take down. 

Pikmin 2

In Pikmin 2, one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the Perplexing Pool at the end of a long and twisted path sitting atop a tree. Red Pikmin are needed to defeat a Fiery Bulblax, and White Pikmin are needed to demolish a Poison Bramble Gate. Yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity, because on the close-up scene on Pikmin 2 it shows that they radiate with static electricity, and the ship's static electricity sensors are off the hook. But the Yellow Pikmin no longer have the ability to carry Bomb Rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in Pikmin 2, making them impossible to carry.

Pikmin 3

In Pikmin 3, players are able to discover Yellow Pikmin on the first day when taking control of Charlie. New abilities in this game include conductivity, which allows Yellow Pikmin to link up by holding hands, and pass electricity from a broken circuit. As a result, the object the wires were originally connected to gains power, and the Yellow Pikmin grow flowers on their heads. Yellow Pikmin also dig faster than other types of Pikmin and they make higher-pitched sounds when thrown in Pikmin 3. Yellow Pikmin are also able to throw Bomb Rocks once again.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Yellow Pikmin appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a trophy, and a kind of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground using his Pikmin Pluck special move. Yellow Pikmin, like in Pikmin 2, are immune to electrical moves like Pikachu's Thunder or Forward Smash and can attack with electric properties. They can also be thrown higher than other Pikmin.
