Hidden Ability: Chlorophyll
Pokédex
The Pikmin are a seemingly seamless blend between plant and animal. The Red Pikmin possess noses that other Pikmin lack, and they also have a powerful resistance to fire. Pikmin are like a colony of ants that work together to accomplish tasks that no Pikmin could alone. Pikmin are also the main food for a majority of the creatures on their planet, so they need teamwork in order to survive.
Yellow Pikmin
The Sprout Pokémon
Type: Grass
Ability: Volt Absorb
Hidden Ability: Chlorophyll
Pokédex
The Pikmin stand only a centimeter tall and come in many types. The Yellow Pikmin is completely resistant to electricity, giving them an edge against electric types. They also feature ears. Pikmin grow from seeds, which are sown by mysterious craft called Onions (as Captain Olimar calls them). They will grow in the ground unless someone plucks them, at which point they are able to perform a variety of tasks.
Blue Pikmin
The Sprout Pokémon
Type: Grass
Ability: Water Absorb
Hidden Ability: Chlorophyll
Pokédex
Pikmin play an important role for all of the creatures that reside on their planet. The Blue Pikmin can swim and breathe underwater, which other Pikmin cannot, and are distinguished by their mouth. Pikmin, while are capable of many things, need a proper commander to get anything accomplished. The Hocotatians, explorers from another planet, have served as leaders for the Pikmin, notable ones including Olimar, Louie, and Hocotate Frigate's own President.
Oak's Notes: While the Pikmin are unrelated through evolution, they deserve to be compiled in one entry. There are at least three other Pikmin types (Purple, White, and Rock) that have a second type other than Grass, so they will be posted separately.
