The plant on an individual Pikmin's head indicates how developed and strong it is, affecting battling ability and running speed. A fully bloomed flower means a Pikmin is stronger and faster than a Pikmin with just a leaf on its head. Ordinarily, Pikmin leaves become Pikmin flowers if the Pikmin drink nectar, but a flower can naturally grow if Pikmin are left in the ground long enough before being plucked. | The plant on an individual Pikmin's head indicates how developed and strong it is, affecting battling ability and running speed.
