Pellet weed family

The Pellet Weed family consists of all known Pellets.

Pellet


A pellet is a crystallized chunk of nectar that contains vitamins and other nutrition. Pellets are used to produce Pikmin, by bringing them to the Onion, and are the main source of seeds. Pellets come in a variety of sizes, and each one produces a different amount of Pikmin. An Arabic numeral can be seen atop each one, reflecting its weight. Pellets with the numbers 1, 5, 8, 10, and 20 exist.

Pellet Posy


Pellet Posies are a species of plant that possesses a unique trait that allows them to crystallize their nectar into pellets, which are dropped when the plant is broken down by a Pikmin. Pikmin can be ordered to carry these back to their Onions, and they are the main way Pikmin propagate. In order to help grow newly-found Pikmin, both Pellet Posies and pellets that are always the color of that Pikmin type are found near the discovery site of each Onion.

Propellet
Propellets are flying Pellet Posies which appear solely in the Karst of Gales. These plants bear pellets that face directly upwards, and they are able to fly like helicopters with their spinning leaves, either floating within a small territory or along the wind currents throughout the Karst of Gales.
