How much HP do pikmin have?

[GenericKen]

I didn't see a topic anywhere for this:

What exactly does it take to kill Olimar's pikmin? Has anyone checked?

-I assume they can only be attacked after they've been thrown. I've seen attacks pass through them when they just hang out.

-I believe Sakurai once said that their HP goes up as they bloom.

-Is the knockback of an attack a factor in addition to the damage? How about flame/ice/sleep/stun/electricity effects?

Read NC-Echo's guide.

It's stickied.

Ah, don't know why I didn't see it in there.

Thanks.
