'''Yellow Pikmin''' ({{j|黄ピクミン|Ki Pikumin}}) are a yellow species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], with the special abilities of increased [[throw]] height, [[bomb-rock]] carrying (in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''), and [[electricity]] resistance. They are the second type discovered by [[Captain Olimar]] in ''Pikmin'', the fourth type identified in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the first type found with [[Charlie]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. In {{p4}}, Pikmin can be discovered in any order (with the exception to [[Red Pikmin]]). These Pikmin have lamellae which resemble large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. Yellow Pikmin can be thrown higher – an ability that is needed to retrieve certain elevated [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s and [[fruit]]s – and are immune to [[electricity]]. Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees – this can be concluded from the places they are first found in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''. Their main method of production is through the [[Yellow Onion]] (or the Master Onion), and like [[Red Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white. Like Red Pikmin and Blue Pikmin, they appear in all games of the series, and the only game mode they are missing from in comparison to the other two, is [[2-Player Battle]].

Unlike other Pikmin types, The abilities and role of Yellow Pikmin have not always been consistent. Despite this, in all four main-series games, they have large ears and can be [[throw]]n higher than other Pikmin, which is useful for collecting high-up objects, latching on to enemies like [[Beady Long Legs]], or other such purposes.

In ''Pikmin'', Yellow Pikmin are uniquely able to carry and toss [[bomb-rock]]s (though digging into the game's files has revealed that all Pikmin were originally supposed to be able to wield bomb-rocks).{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin#Bomb-rock_Textures|''Pikmin''|The Cutting Room Floor}} Having this role makes Yellow Pikmin arguably much more situational than Red or Blue Pikmin, and as a result, it is not typically necessary to have more than a handful of them in Olimar's squad at any given time.

There is no task in the game that mandatorily requires Yellow Pikmin. Although only their bomb-rocks can be used to take down [[reinforced wall]]s, all of the walls in the way of [[ship part]]s can be circumvented in other ways. Those, and other ship parts that would normally require Yellow Pikmin, are explained in the recommended uses section below.
There is no task in the game that mandatorily requires Yellow Pikmin. Although only their bomb-rocks can be used to take down [[reinforced wall]]s, all of the walls in the way of [[ship part]]s can be circumvented through the use of glitches. Those, and other ship parts that would normally require Yellow Pikmin, are explained in the near-required uses section below.


===Recommended uses===
===Near-required uses===
Although not mandatory, Yellow Pikmin are important in the collection of the following ship parts.
Yellow Pikmin are intended to be used to collect the following ship parts, but through the use of glitches, exploits, or tricks, they can be collected without Yellow Pikmin.
*{{icon|Positron Generator|y}}: Yellow Pikmin are needed to take down the [[reinforced wall]] with [[bomb-rock]]s, although by throwing some Pikmin out of bounds on the stump with the three large pellets, and then having Olimar [[lie down]] next to the pellet on top of the trunk-like structure at the south, he can squeeze through and go out of bounds, and then use the Pikmin that got thrown to enter the beach area without taking down the reinforced wall.{{cite youtube|cB2E8pCVqco|showing the Positron Generator being collected using only Red Pikmin}}

*{{icon|Whimsical Radar|y}}: The area it is in is behind reinforced walls. But by using a [[pellet]] dropped by a [[Dwarf Bulborb]] near the Yellow Onion, it is possible to clip out of bounds and onto the ledge with the ship part. From there, the player can push the part past the reinforced wall and have it recovered from there. Using the nearby Red Bulborb to push the part helps.{{cite youtube|PkuwCFaBtic|showing how to obtain the Whimsical Radar and the Geiger Counter without Yellow Pikmin|rname = wrgc}}

There is no task in ''Pikmin 2'' that requires Yellow Pikmin exclusively. Even if Yellow Pikmin are required to destroy [[electric gate]]s, none need to be taken down for a full completion. All treasures can be collected with other Pikmin types with the use of exploits, detailed in the recommended uses section below.

*Access the [[Distant Tundra]]: At least 20 Yellow Pikmin must be grown upon first landing in the Distant Tundra with Brittany to be able to exit the cave to access the rest of the area and continue the game, but it is possible to exit the cave by going [[out of bounds]], and it is still possible to rescue [[Charlie]] with further glitches. This makes Yellow Pikmin skippable, though many fruits become inaccessible if this is done.

===Discovery===
In {{P4}}, Yellow Pikmin can be first discovered in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], typically first in the [[Crackling Cauldron]], but they can also be found in the [[Industrial Maze]]. Alternatively, collecting the Yellow Onion will cause the Master Onion to produce a Yellow seed. They are typically the third type discovered, after [[Ice Pikmin]]. Their introductory cutscene has the Yellow Pikmin leap high in the air with crackles of electricity zapping out of their body, demonstrating their higher throwing range and immunity to electricity.
In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], there are Yellow Onions in the Sun-Speckled Terrace and the Blossoming Arcadia.

[[File:Cavern of Confusion first Yellows.jpg|thumb|The first appearance of Yellow Pikmin in ''Hey! Pikmin''.]]
In {{hp}}, Yellow Pikmin are first found in the [[Cavern of Confusion]], in the first sector, [[Brilliant Garden]]. Upon entering the area, Olimar is stuck due to a [[dirt block]] until he calls a group of Yellow Pikmin using his whistle. The rest of the area shows off their higher throw height. After the area is complete they join the Pikmin Park like any other Pikmin type.


===Required uses===
===Required uses===
''Hey! Pikmin'' does not let players choose which types to bring to a task, and while many treasures require Yellow Pikmin to collect, Yellow Pikmin will always be present when this is the case.
In the [[Pikmin Park]], electrical wire-type clutter can only be destroyed by Yellow Pikmin.

{{todo|Write a list of treasures requiring Yellow Pikmin to collect.}}
===Discovery===
In {{P4}}, Yellow Pikmin can be first discovered in [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], usually first in [[Crackling Cauldron]], but can also be found in the [[Industrial Maze]]. Alternatively, collecting the Yellow Onion will cause the Master Onion to produce a Yellow seed. They are usually the third type discovered, after [[Ice Pikmin]]. Their introductory cutscene has the Yellow Pikmin leap high in the air with crackles of electricity zapping out of their body, demonstrating their higher throwing range and immunity to electricity.
===Uses===
*Treasures
**{{icon|Mysterious Carriage|y|v=P4}}: The one in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] is behind a [[Clipboard]] which Yellow Pikmin can reach but most types cannot. Alternatively, [[Winged Pikmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]] (using a Glowmob) can reach it.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Anode Beetle|y|V=P4}}: This enemy can create an electrical current which can be connected to another Anode Beetle if one is nearby, but it can be defeated by any Pikmin type
**{{icon|Anode Dweevil|y|V=P4}}: This enemy can electrocute a large group of Pikmin at once, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Bearded Amprat|y|V=P4}}: They can stroke their fur to create an electrical charge which shocks all Pikmin, but otherwise can be attacked by all.

Yellow Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' 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 are also thrown higher and longer than other Pikmin. In ''Brawl'', a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] for a Yellow Pikmin also exists.

Yellow Pikmin also have a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] of them in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. They also have a spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', where their spirit battle consists of 10, weak and tiny Donkey Kongs that favor neutral air attacks. The floor is electrified during the battle. They can also be obtained from the Spirit Board or by scanning the [[amiibo|Pikmin amiibo]].
