The picture was probably taken right after it burst out of the rocky coating of Ultra-Bitter Spray (I can tell its Pikmin 2 because you can see a little bit of the burgeoning spiderwort spore stuff in the bottom right corner) Portal-Kombat
Yep, that's what happened. Best way to get a good shot of it. Greenpickle
"Attacks: Replants and Deflowers Pikmin" - Isn't there a better way of putting that? I mean, it's not like the bug takes your Pikmin away to rape them. 86.135.42.100 17:02, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought the same thing, but it illustrates the point and I doubt anyone actually misinterprets it so. However, upon looking at the Withering Blowhog article, it says its attacks include "withering flowers," a phrase which I apparently wrote, so if we agree it's really an issue then it's possible to change it. —JimboJambo 19:04, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
I think you'll find 'deflower' on a lot of pages. Change them if you want, but unless you're trying to interpret it that way, they read as they're meant to read. Greenpickle
We could go non-scientific and state that the effect of the Snitchbug's attack changes flower Pikmin to leaf Pikmin. You can't make something "wither" by slamming it into the ground, tbh. It's like saying "breaking paper", or "tearing rocks". BNK [E|T|C] 03:46, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
I just say to get rid of the deflowering in general.--FREAK~GameFreak~OUT!
Poor speculation. Getting all this hate :C BulbminSprout 00:39, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
