Red Pikmin

Red Pikmin are pikmin that were the first ones discovered by Captain Olimar. They are the only Pikmin (In canon Pikmin games) that can survive fire, other than Bulbmin, and are in both pikmin games. They have a large, pointy nose that appears to be the reason behind its larger than average attack power. The reason behind its flame immunity is a mystery, though some theories have been made about it, including a flame retardant chemical in their skin.

In Other Games
Red Pikmin appear in the Pikmin 1 Card Set. Their ability is the ability to resist fire damage.

They are strong like they were in Pikmin 2, and are still immune to fire.

Pikmin SP
They are the same as the Red Pikmin from Pikmin 2. In Pikmin SP, they are found in Quietbreeze Valley once you land. They are found with an onion and they can still be obtained with crimson candypops or queen candypops.
