A Coppeller is an enemy encountered in Hey! Pikmin. It flies on stage, usually carrying Sparklinium Seeds or Pikmin. Other than carrying the Pikmin they entered with off screen, they can not harm Olimar or his Pikmin.
Notes
Hey! Pikmin Creature Log
"It carries Pikmin and high-energy objects away somewhere. Back to its nest, I assume. Maybe if I keep observing its behavior, I can begin to understand why my wife has a hard time throwing anything away."
Battle Strategy
Hey! Pikmin
Coppellers cannot hurt the Pikmin you already have, but if they aren't killed in time, they can carry the Pikmin they entered with off screen. Like many enemies in this game, they die in one hit, so just throw a Pikmin at them when they fly low enough.
