A '''Pellet''' is a nutrition-packed, crystallized nectar that contains vitamins and such, like any other food, helps organisms grow; they are one of the three ways to produce Pikmin. These items are vital to the early growth of Pikmin, as you won't have many to take on large creatures at the start of the game. Pellets comes in four sizes, and each one produces more Pikmin. If the color of the Pellet matches the color of the [[Onion]] it is brought to, more Pikmin are produced. If not, half of the weight of the Pellet, rounded up, is the amount of Pikmin produced. The number on the Pellet represents its weight. They are found on the top of the [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and sometimes on the ground. Certain creatures of the [[Planet of the Pikmin|Pikmin World]] also leave Pellets as spoils at times: they have presumably eaten Pellets, which could indicate the possibility that the same creatures are omnivores, if not herbivores.
A '''pellet''' is a crystallized chunk of [[nectar]] that contains vitamins and other nutrition. They are formed by [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], and are sometimes present on the ground, though certain enemies can yield pellets as spoils upon death. Pellets are used to produce [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], by bringing them to the [[Onion]]. There is one color of pellet per main Pikmin type, with few exceptions.


==Pellet Sizes==
Pellets come in a variety of sizes, and a number is present atop each one, reflecting its weight. Pellets with the numbers 1, 5, 8, 10, and 20 exist, although 40-pellets can be seen in some {{p1}} prerelease footage, and some fanon media may have pellets with different numbers. If the color of the pellet matches the color of the [[Onion]] it is delivered to, that number of Pikmin is produced, the exception being the number 1, which creates two Pikmin. If not, only half that number, rounded up, will be ejected.
[[File:Pellet_Chart.jpg|750px|noframe]]
*1 Pellet: The most common size of Pellet and the only kind found on Pellet Posies in Pikmin 1. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 2 Pikmin, if not, they produce just 1 Pikmin.


*5 Pellet: A fairly rare Pellet; these were found on the ground or dropped by enemies in Pikmin 1, but Pellet-bearing Pellet Posies debuted with this Pellet in Pikmin 2. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 5 Pikmin, if not, they produce only 3 Pikmin. The Pellet Posies for this plant are only found in the [[Valley of Repose]].

*10 Pellet: These are even rarer, as these are only in significant places in Pikmin 1, and only four reappearing Pellet Posies with Pellets of weight 10 are found in Pikmin 2: three in the Awakening Wood, and one in the Valley of Repose. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 10 Pikmin, if not, they produce 5 Pikmin. they are also dropped by the [[Toady Bloyster]] and the [[Spotty Bulbear]] (Day 30) in the [[Perplexing Pool]]. It is also dropped by the [[Fiery Bulblax]] in the [[Valley of Repose]], the one that drops the [[Temporal Mechanism]].

{{clear}}


*20 Pellet: The most rare of all, these are very large and very difficult to find; in Pikmin 2, there is actually a Pellet Posy for this Pellet that regrows, located near the [[Snagret Hole]] in the Awakening Wood, which bears the only 20 Pellet in the game. In Pikmin 1, a yellow 20 Pellet, presumably grown from a 20 Pellet Posy, is found on top of a tree stump, where only Yellow Pikmin can reach it. It is located in the Forest of Hope. There are also 20 pellets of all 3 colors lying around in the back area where the [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s are at [[The Impact Site]]. There are many 20 pellets lying round everywhere throughout Challenge Mode as well. 50 pikmin maximum can carry a 20 Pellet, instead of the normal of exactly twice its weight. If they are brought to the same colored Onion, they produce 20 Pikmin; if not, they produce 10 Pikmin.

'''Pellets''' are returning items appearing in ''[[Pikmin 2... Again?]]''. Aside from 1-, 5-, and 10-pellets, 20-pellets make a return, and there is a new addition of the rainbow pellet and the 100-pellet. Rainbow pellets produce [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of a random type when delivered to the [[Onion|Master Onion]], but are otherwise identical to other pellets. In the [[Death Den]], a 100-pellet can be seen up close, but it is soon destroyed by the [[Mockwraith]] after it drops from the ceiling. Story Mode features only red, yellow, blue, and light gray pellets, as all four corresponding [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] types have their own [[Onion]]s. Pellet colors featured in alternate game modes include purple, white, gray, pink, cyan, green, brown, lavender, black, orange, almond, and, exclusively to [[Pikmin 2... Again?/Timed Mode|Timed Mode]], periwinkle and aquamarine. The "rare" pellets always produce the Pikmin type their color is no matter if there are more Pikmin of another color carrying it, though if there are more Pikmin of its color carrying it, the rare pellet will give more seeds like other pellets. White pellets are notable for having a black numeral, and aquamarine pellets are made out of {{w|voxel}}s.
When carrying Pellets, the number shown indicates the colour of [[Onion]] that is the item's destination; this can change if the [[Pikmin]] carrying it are removed or others added. When a Pellet in such a situation is carried, the majority of [[Red Pikmin|Red-]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow-]] or [[Blue Pikmin|Blue Pikmin]] decides its destination. When there are no Red, Yellow or Blue Pikmin (Purple or White only), it usually ends up at the nearest Onion to the start of the carrying. All of this is usually true, though random things seem to happen sometimes. If only one primary colored pikmin is carrying a pellet and the rest that are carrying it are purple or white, the primary colored pikmin's onion gets the pellet.


==Pellet Posy Colors in Pikmin 2==
After completing the entirety of Story Mode, all pellets for all Pikmin types can be found in it.
[[File:Blue Pellet.jpg|thumb|200px|A [[Blue Pikmin]] carrying a Pellet.]]
At the start of [[Pikmin 2]], all the Pellet Posies are red. The only color of Pellet Posies that can be seen, without counting those situated where the Onions of Blue and Yellow Pikmin are first encountered, are those colors of Pikmin that have so far been collected. The Pellet Posies where the Blue Onion is found are always blue and those where the Yellow Onion is first found are always yellow.


All other pellets constantly change colour, once every few seconds, between the colours of the pikmin that have so far been collected, in the order: red, yellow, blue. Pellets cannot ever be purple or white, or aid in producing purple or white pikmin directly.

The "Pellet Flowers" referred to in the description are Pellet Posies, yet "Pellet Grass" was not mentioned in Pikmin or Pikmin 2. It could possibly be a new feature in [[Pikmin 3]].
A '''pellet''' is a helpful resource appearing in ''[[Pikmin: Wide World]]''. As [[crystal]]lized chunks of [[nectar]], pellets serve as a vital source of nutrients for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and enemies alike, and so they are highly sought after by both. [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]], [[Thorned Posy|Thorned Posies]], and [[Weeping Posy|Weeping Posies]] are their most common source, though they may also be regurgitated from defeated enemies of a size larger than them, or even less commonly, sitting around the environment. Regardless of their source, pellets can be found [[Area|aboveground]] and [[Cave|underground]], though larger pellets are less common than smaller ones. If subject to damage, pellets will develop cracks, chipped parts, or scorch marks depending on the source, and too much damage will destroy them, rendering them useless; [[Blunt force|crushing]] forces are especially destructive to pellets. Larger pellets are far more difficult to destroy than smaller pellets. Unlike Pikmin, their [[Candypop family|candypops]], and their [[Onion]]s, pellets of a certain color aren't resistant to any of the more destructive [[hazard]]s they are.
 
Pellets are circular and rounded, almost resembling a medicine tablet, and may be of various colors and sizes. They also have a slight translucency. A pellet's size coincides with the raised numeral on its front face: 1, 5, 8, 10, 20, or 40. 1-pellets are the smallest, but still large compared to a [[leader]], and 40-pellets are the largest. The numerals on them match the color of the petals of the Pikmin they are for. While attached to a posy, pellets change color every few seconds at regular intervals, the sequence reflecting that in which each color's respective Pikmin type is discovered. However, this will not be the case for posies located by the site of a Pikmin's discovery or Onion, as the color of their pellets will remain static.
 
When delivered to an [[Onion]], a pellet will yield a number of seeds according to its number, which also indicates its weight. If delivered by Pikmin or to the Onion the same color as it, that amount of seeds will be produced; otherwise, only half that amount, rounded up. The only exception to this is with 1-pellets, which yield 2 seeds when matched with Pikmin or an Onion of the same color and only 1 otherwise. As with corpses, pellets that are delivered to the [[Dolphin Lander|Lander Pod]] may be used to either propagate Pikmin or gain [[poko]]s and extra [[sparklium]], but when used to propagate Pikmin, pellets will automatically be used to increase the population of the Pikmin the same color as them.
 
In ultra-spicy difficulty, pellets are generally harder to come by, and larger sizes are more difficult to find. Additionally, they seem more brittle, not able to take as much damage before breaking.

Appearance in Pikmin 4, red 1-pellet.

A pellet is a crystallized chunk of nectar that contains vitamins and other nutrition. They are formed by Pellet Posies, and are sometimes present on the ground, though certain enemies can yield pellets as spoils upon death. Pellets are used to produce Pikmin, by bringing them to the Onion. There is one color of pellet per main Pikmin type, with few exceptions.

Pellets come in a variety of sizes, and a number is present atop each one, reflecting its weight. Pellets with the numbers 1, 5, 8, 10, and 20 exist, although 40-pellets can be seen in some Pikmin 1 prerelease footage, and some fanon media may have pellets with different numbers. If the color of the pellet matches the color of the Onion it is delivered to, that number of Pikmin is produced, the exception being the number 1, which creates two Pikmin. If not, only half that number, rounded up, will be ejected.

Notes

Olimar's notes

Them being the crystallized nectar in a cylindrical shape like some sort of coin, I just decided to name them pellets. Every time the name comes up, the Ship begs me to rename them bottle caps, apparently to no end. Anyways, the pellets are used as the basic way to produce Pikmin when brought to the Onion, absorbing the object, it will eject a basic amount of Pikmin depending on the pellet's size. There are only three colors of pellets found so far. But now I wonder if there could be more colors of pellets. Just look, there are only three Onions, at least as I write this, and all other types don't have that same thing, but could the Master Onion produce those rare Pikmin? Who knows, maybe one time, I'll find out.

Louie's notes

I bet it's edible.

Hocotate Ship's notes

Because of the pellets' shape, bottlecaps would have been a great name for them, but apparently someone we already know decided that pellets were a much better name. Maybe, for once, I can be allowed to rename something, like pellets for instance.

A pellet is a helpful resource appearing in Pikmin: Wide World. As crystallized chunks of nectar, pellets serve as a vital source of nutrients for Pikmin and enemies alike, and so they are highly sought after by both. Pellet Posies, Thorned Posies, and Weeping Posies are their most common source, though they may also be regurgitated from defeated enemies of a size larger than them, or even less commonly, sitting around the environment. Regardless of their source, pellets can be found aboveground and underground, though larger pellets are less common than smaller ones. If subject to damage, pellets will develop cracks, chipped parts, or scorch marks depending on the source, and too much damage will destroy them, rendering them useless; crushing forces are especially destructive to pellets. Larger pellets are far more difficult to destroy than smaller pellets. Unlike Pikmin, their candypops, and their Onions, pellets of a certain color aren't resistant to any of the more destructive hazards they are.

Pellets are circular and rounded, almost resembling a medicine tablet, and may be of various colors and sizes. They also have a slight translucency. A pellet's size coincides with the raised numeral on its front face: 1, 5, 8, 10, 20, or 40. 1-pellets are the smallest, but still large compared to a leader, and 40-pellets are the largest. The numerals on them match the color of the petals of the Pikmin they are for. While attached to a posy, pellets change color every few seconds at regular intervals, the sequence reflecting that in which each color's respective Pikmin type is discovered. However, this will not be the case for posies located by the site of a Pikmin's discovery or Onion, as the color of their pellets will remain static.

When delivered to an Onion, a pellet will yield a number of seeds according to its number, which also indicates its weight. If delivered by Pikmin or to the Onion the same color as it, that amount of seeds will be produced; otherwise, only half that amount, rounded up. The only exception to this is with 1-pellets, which yield 2 seeds when matched with Pikmin or an Onion of the same color and only 1 otherwise. As with corpses, pellets that are delivered to the Lander Pod may be used to either propagate Pikmin or gain pokos and extra sparklium, but when used to propagate Pikmin, pellets will automatically be used to increase the population of the Pikmin the same color as them.

In ultra-spicy difficulty, pellets are generally harder to come by, and larger sizes are more difficult to find. Additionally, they seem more brittle, not able to take as much damage before breaking.
