'''Pikmin Pluck''', ({{ja|ピクミンを引っこ抜く}} ''Pikumin o Hikkonuku'', '''Yank Out Pikmin'''), is [[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]]'s [[neutral special move]], and is often considered to be his most important move. This move involves Captain Olimar quickly pulling a random [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] out of the ground. What type of [[terrain]] where this move is used has some influence on what type of Pikmin will be pulled out more often. Olimar can have up to 6 Pikmin following him. This works by rapidly pressing the special button, if there no oppenents attack him. Olimar can't pluck anymore Pikmin once the special button is pressed, unless one or more Pikmin are gone.

What type of [[terrain]] where this move is used has some influence on what type of Pikmin will be pulled out more often. Olimar can have up to 6 Pikmin following him; trying to pluck a seventh, or using the move in the air, will result in Olimar grabbing nothing and being vulnerable for a moment.


Care should be taken especially to not use Pikmin Pluck when on the very edge of a stage facing in, which will result in all Pikmin plucked tumbling off the ledge to their deaths, unless one uses [[Pikmin Order]] shortly afterwards (there is a brief period of unresponsiveness from Pikmin after they are plucked, which ends when they touch the floor or after they drop below it) to call them back to Olimar. Also, careless throwing of Pikmin at airborne opponents off the cliff will result in the death of any Pikmin that miss the mark.
Upon being plucked, Pikmin arc backwards over Olimar's shoulder and land behind him. As a result, doing the move too close to an edge will result in the Pikmin falling off, possibly to their doom if there is no ground below. These Pikmin can be saved with a [[Pikmin Order]] after they have fallen below where Olimar is standing. White and Purple Pikmin have a smaller arc than Red, Yellow, and Blue ones, so it is possible to let the three common colours be sent over the edge while keeping the rare ones with correct positioning (and standing even closer to the edge will only allow Whites to land, until the point where all types will fall).


This is the only move that [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]] is unable to [[Inhale|copy]] perfectly. Instead, Kirby combines Pikmin Pluck with [[Pikmin Throw]]. The Pikmin that Kirby creates are chucked forwards, collide with opponents, do damage based on colour (Red 1%, Yellow 2%, Blue 3%, Purple 4%, White 5%), and die immediately after landing.

In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''Pikmin 2'', after sowing the Pikmin seeds, Olimar would be able to pick them immediately, or wait for their flowers to bloom to have Pikmin that were stronger and faster than leafed Pikmin. This ability is reflected in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' by a certain mechanic where Pikmin that have been with Olimar longer change the vegetation on their stem. It is possible to determine how long Olimar has had a given Pikmin by the vegetation on its head; a leaf signifies a new to fairly new Pikmin, a bud shows that a Pikmin has been with Olimar for some time, and a flower on a Pikmin's head means that it has been with Olimar for a long while.
In the ''Pikmin'' games, Pikmin born from Onions fall into the ground as seeds, where they can be plucked by a leader. Leaving a Pikmin in the ground before plucking it will allow it to develop from a leaf to a bud and finally a flower. To make more Pikmin seeds, Pellets or dead creatures must be carried to and absorbed by the Onion. Up to 100 Pikmin can be outside the Onion at once; there is no theoretical limit to how many can be inside.


In ''Pikmin'', Olimar may have up to a hundred Pikmin following him.

*If Pikmin Pluck is used near a ledge (one that results in a death), only White and Purple Pikmin will land on the stage, while the red, blue, and yellow Pikmin fall off. This strategy is good if one is wanting those two types only. If the player gets slightly closer to the ledge, only white pikmin will survive, while if they go too far, all of the Pikmin will fall.

Pikmin Pluck, (ピクミンを引っこ抜く Pikumin o Hikkonuku, Yank Out Pikmin), is Olimar's neutral special move. This move involves Captain Olimar quickly pulling a random Pikmin out of the ground. What type of terrain where this move is used has some influence on what type of Pikmin will be pulled out more often. Olimar can have up to 6 Pikmin following him; trying to pluck a seventh, or using the move in the air, will result in Olimar grabbing nothing and being vulnerable for a moment.

Upon being plucked, Pikmin arc backwards over Olimar's shoulder and land behind him. As a result, doing the move too close to an edge will result in the Pikmin falling off, possibly to their doom if there is no ground below. These Pikmin can be saved with a Pikmin Order after they have fallen below where Olimar is standing. White and Purple Pikmin have a smaller arc than Red, Yellow, and Blue ones, so it is possible to let the three common colours be sent over the edge while keeping the rare ones with correct positioning (and standing even closer to the edge will only allow Whites to land, until the point where all types will fall).

This is the only move that Kirby is unable to copy correctly. Instead, Kirby combines Pikmin Pluck with Pikmin Throw. The Pikmin that Kirby creates are chucked forwards, collide with opponents, do damage based on colour (Red 1%, Yellow 2%, Blue 3%, Purple 4%, White 5%), and die immediately after landing. Kirby's Pikmin follow the same probability rules as Olimar's. [1]

Description from the Instruction Booklet

Recruit Pikmin to help by plucking them from the ground. You can only have six at a time.

Origin

Olimar plucking out the first Pikmin in the original Pikmin.

In the Pikmin games, Pikmin born from Onions fall into the ground as seeds, where they can be plucked by a leader. Leaving a Pikmin in the ground before plucking it will allow it to develop from a leaf to a bud and finally a flower. To make more Pikmin seeds, Pellets or dead creatures must be carried to and absorbed by the Onion. Up to 100 Pikmin can be outside the Onion at once; there is no theoretical limit to how many can be inside.

Notes

  • A continuous stream of plucked Pikmin can be used to "fill up" Cook Kirby's pot, creating huge numbers of items. Not only is this useful for team Brawls, but also if Captain Olimar is against Kirby; he can stop himself from being pulled in, so once the pot contains the maximum of 30 objects, the Final Smash will end and Olimar will remain unharmed.
