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.
The pellets themselves come in different sizes, with some examples being 1, 5, 10, and 20, and colors, each matching the colors of the Onions. These differences determine the number of Pikmin produced when the pellet is collected. Some Posies' pellets change color at regular intervals, in a similar way to Queen Candypop Buds; the color is fixed when the Pellet Posy is destroyed, making it possible to choose which to collect. The order that which the color cycles are always the chronological order that which the Pikmin is discovered.
After a Pellet Posy is taken down, it disappears but returns the next day as a small stub, which grows over time. They take four minutes to grow to full height and generate a new pellet. Larger pellets need larger Pellet Posies, which in turn have more health. Pellets without a plant can be found within aboveground areas, usually as a drop from enemies, but may also be found underground.
Although the Pellet Posy is a plant rather than an enemy, it is still vulnerable to attacks and can be killed with ease by Pikmin or a leader. When hit, they make a squeaking sound. For an instant kill, throw Pikmin at the pellet, not the stem. There are exceptions to this quick knockout: Pellet Posies larger than size "1" will need to have Pikmin thrown onto it, so they can latch on and gradually detach it with attacks. However, Pikmin can knock down the pellets right away by throwing them from below. After this, whether they automatically return to a nearby leader or remain idle to pick up the pellet depends on the game.
In fanon games
Below this point is where users place their version of the Pellet Posy.

Pellet Posies can be seen in Pikmin 251. Like the Queen Candypop Bud, this plant cycles between colors faster. The 1, 5, 10, and 20 size variants are present. The 20-pellet posies grow in the Flooded Fields.
Notes
Olimar's observations
- “Yep, it's a Pellet Posy. What is there to say about these things? The only thing worth mentioning is that, for once, I can see a yellow pellet on my journey before a red one. Of all the plants on this planet, these are still some of the least understood. What makes them change color based on the Pikmin nearby! Perhaps these are more closely related to the Pikmin species than I once thought.”
Cookin' with Louie
- “On a quest for the perfect hors d'oeuvre? Slow cook this plant in a wood-fire oven, but be sure to only serve the tender pellet.”

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “These plants help Pikmin reproduce. What good they do to other creatures is unknown. I wonder how two large pellets could fit in an iridescent glint beetle at times, though. Or how the stalk can lift up a heavy pellet.”
Ship's notes
- “How these plants grow is just confusing. But the colors... Red... Yellow... Blue... Red... Yellow... Blue... Red... Yellow... Blue... Purple... White... Teal... Fuchsia... I think I'm getting sick... how... ERROR!”

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This species tends to crystallize some kind of nectar into a pellet. How it produces the nectar is yet unclear. Another anomaly that occurs is that it is able to form a "1" or a "5", without prior knowledge of Hocotatian arithmetic. Truly confounding!”

In Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds, there are 50-pellets in the game; there is a one-in-seventy-five chance that any 20-pellet Pellet Posy will be a 50-pellet Pellet Posy instead. When an Onion seed is fully grown, there will be a new color for every Pellet Posy that corresponds to the color of the Onion. Also, a single one hundred pellet does exist, but is held by the diabolical Giga Peeking Pelletonium, which only appears at the Ancient Valley every twenty days, starting from day forty-one.
