Rare Red Pikmin

Rare Red Pikmin, also known as Dark Red Pikmin, are one of the species variations of Pikmin in Pikmin: A New Journey. Unlike the rare variations of Candypop Bud-exclusive Pikmin, there is a small chance one will pop out of an Onion.

Biology
Rare Red Pikmin are dark red. They are slightly bigger and stronger than normal reds. Like all rare variations, they have small freckles under their eyes. These ones have a tail, which they use in battle. If you idle for long enough, you might see one start bouncing on its tail. Like normal reds, they are immune to fire, but unlike Normal reds they resist the attacks of the Blaze Bulborb. Their flowers are flame-patterned.

Olimar's Notes
What? That's not a normal red Pikmin. Ah...it has a tail. I wonder if that will be any help in battle.
