Yellow Pikmin

Yellow Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin collected in Pikmin and the fourth type in Pikmin 2. These Pikmin have what would appear to be large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids their hearing. In both games the Yellow Pikmin are the lightest and can be thrown higher than other Pikmin. This is an ability which is needed to retrieve certain elevated ship parts and treasures. They are the only ones who can survive electrical surges (the most potent element in either game [instant 1hko]). Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees.
