New Pikmin
As promised, the game features three new types of Pikmin, being two never seen before. None of them have their own Onions, and can only be breed with Candypop Buds or Incubators.
Gold Pikmin
The gold colored, not maded, Pikmin is one of the brand new types present in the game. All their skills are enhanced, but is extremely rare to find Golden Candypop Buds, where they can only be breed. Their stored inside Mayor, which can be a trouble for other Pikmin trying to sleep, since it have inner light.
Tanookimin
The Pikmin wearing a Tanooki Suit from the Super Mario Franchise. Nobody knows how, when and why those Pikmin manage to wear the suit and use it's skills. They can only be breed with the Animal Candypop Bud, or in the Animalistic Incubator, found later in the game as an upgrade.
Skull Pikmin
The maybe rarest Pikmin in the game. The Skull Pikmin are nothing more then bones, shaped like a Pikmin's body. Stories says that souls of Pikmin that can't find their way into the light come back and become Skull Pikmin. The only way to get them is if any Pikmin is left behind and have the lucky to survive overnight. Those chances go from 10% to 20%. Maybe rare, but the Skull Pikmin are undeads. If they're defeated, picking up all their bones and taking them to an Onion will generate, again, a Skull Pikmin.
