Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Searching for the name of the flower on Pikmin's head, but it doesn't show up

Please search by only the type of flower, not with the colors.

For example, you can search for Pikmin that have water lily flowers by using the keyword “water lily” or partial matches. 

No corresponding Pikmin are displayed in the conditional search

For example, if you search for red & London and it does not appear, it means that there are no red Pikmin originally obtained in the area, so please check your Pikmin again.

Keyword search does not show any corresponding Pikmin

As noted above, only exact matches are available for some keywords, so please check the search rules above again.

Searching for Pimin’s friendship level 3 or less, but more than 3 are shown

A search for “-3*” will show levels above ❤️0 and below ❤️4(e.g.3.9), as noted above. Therefore, if you wish to search for levels below ❤️8(💛4), please search with “-7*”.

If you wish to search for levels below ❤️1, use “0*” to display levels from ❤️0 to less than ❤️1.(0-0.9)
