Rainbow Pikmin

The Rainbow Pikmin is a Pikmin in Pikmin: Rainbow World made extremely useful because of its incredible abilities. They can resist a multitude of hazards and overall have high stats, although their carrying capacity is one and they cannot survive sunset. Most notably, Rainbow Pikmin can survive being hit by rainbow shockwaves, but exposure to them will cause them to lose a single color, and should a Rainbow Pikmin lose all six of its colors, it will revert to whichever Pikmin it was before. Like Yellow Pikmin, Rainbow Pikmin can be thrown high, and like White Pikmin, they can see buried objects. Rainbow Pikmin are also able to pick up rainbow bomb rocks, which function like ordinary bomb rocks, but release a rainbow shockwave upon detonation.
