In Pikmin Evolution
The Medicinal Dandelfly is a species of dandelfly appearing in Pikmin Evolution. It has the general appearance of the Nectarous Dandelfly but has a purple body with pink fluid sacs. This Dandefly lives in areas containing a high density of wildlife and will flee from sizeable quantities of carrion. They are often present on rest sublevels alongside Honeywisps and Nectarous Dandelflies in some of the longer dens. It is a pacifist at heart, never wanting to attack anything in its territory, and in fact, supports all life. Upon coming across a creature that was hurt from battle, the Dandelfly will sprinkle its bright pink nectar from its body onto them. This vapor is neither poisonous nor a confusion-inducing gas; rather, it is a unique substance only it can create. It heals any enemy or leader that breathes it in at a steady rate, potentially restoring their health to full. However, its healing nectar does have its limits, as it can't heal mechanical enemies, creatures that are infected with mold or utilize gloom, or lifeforms not of this world such as the Waterwraith.

Any Pikmin type can attack the Dandelfly at any point due to its lack of offensive capabilities, but the extended throw height of Roach Pikmin and the whip-like leaves of Kelp Pikmin make them the most efficient types to attack the creatures with. Rather than a traditional health wheel, the Medicinal Dandelfly's health is indicated by the number of intact fluid sacs on each of its body's segments. After bursting all five of the Dandelfly's sacs, it will flee while leaving behind an assortment of nectar, sprays, and most notably, a droplet of its unique fluid, called ambrosia. It is a rare resource that can be used to flower Pikmin or restore a majority of a leader's health. Overall, Medicinal Dandelflies provide an easy and convenient way for leaders and enemies alike to recover from their injuries, befitting their name.
