{{game help|p4}}
'''White Pikmin''' ({{j|白ピクミン|Shiro Pikumin}}) are a type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in {{p2}}, {{p4}}, {{pb}}, and non-story game modes in {{p3}}. They are the third type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in ''Pikmin 2'', the first of which are found in the [[White Flower Garden]]. Their most noteworthy characteristics are their faster speed compared to other Pikmin, ability to find [[Dig#Digging out objects|buried objects]] that are completely hidden underground, and their immunity to [[poison]]. Their defining physical characteristics are their red eyes, white color, and smaller size.

In ''Pikmin 2'', White Pikmin share a number of similarities with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Firstly, they can only be obtained via certain [[Candypop Bud]]s, in this case [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s in ''Pikmin 2'', and [[Candypop Bud]]s in ''Pikmin 4''. Their flowers (as well as buds) are magenta rather than white. In addition, at the [[Day#Sunset|end of each day]], they are stored in the [[Hocotate ship]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', they are stored in the Master Onion instead, and a White Onion can be obtained to produce White Pikmin by completing the 5th floor of the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]].

==Traits and abilities==
[[File:Dwarf Red Bulborb P3 dies.png|thumb|200px|left|A Dwarf Red Bulborb dying by consuming the poisonous White Pikmin.]]
White Pikmin are smaller than other types of Pikmin. They have red eyes that in ''Pikmin 2'' allow them to locate treasures that are completely [[Dig|buried underground]], unlike other Pikmin, which is demonstrated shortly after discovering them in the [[White Flower Garden]]. They are the fastest of all Pikmin, such that, when flowered, they run at least as quickly as [[leader]]s equipped with [[Rush Boots]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', this is their main ability, as they are only found in Mission Mode, which requires carrying back treasures quickly. In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', they have weaker attack power than most other Pikmin, on par with [[Winged Pikmin]], but match the strength of the standard types in ''Pikmin 2''.

White Pikmin also possess the unique ability to be able to stand through [[poison]]ous gases without choking to death, as do [[Bulbmin]]. This makes them quite important when taking out poisonous enemies and destroying [[poison emitter]]s, although other types of Pikmin might still be able to cause damage, with some difficulty. Upon being eaten, White Pikmin eject a poisonous fluid into the eater, which poisons them. This causes instant [[Health|damage]], and is often enough to kill smaller enemies, like a [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]. With that said, this does not prevent the Pikmin's death, so it should be used as a last resort. The damage dealt by poison varies per game and [[difficulty]] mode. In ''Pikmin 3'', they seem to not be immune to [[ink]]{{cite youtube|SmtH-P8W4N8|demonstrating how White Pikmin are inked by a Sputtlefish in water}} or the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]'s dust,{{cite youtube|zjZsrXtwiSk|demonstrating how White Pikmin are not immune to the Vehemoth Phosbat's dust}} which are the two closest things to poison in the game. In ''Pikmin 4'', White Pikmin are no longer the only Pikmin type that can unearth completely buried objects and deal less poison damage to enemies that eat them than in ''Pikmin 2''. However, they make up for this with their swift movement and carry speed (particularly useful in [[Dandori Challenge]]s) and their ability to deal with the greater number of poison-spewing enemies and hazards, particularly within the final area of the game: the [[Primordial Thicket]].

===Venom and poison===
[[File:White acid.jpg|200px|thumb|A White Pikmin spewing some form of acid in ''[[Occupational Hazards]]''.]]
White Pikmin are poisonous; if ingested by an enemy, they will poison their foe (with different enemies requiring different doses before dying). The poison itself is described by [[Olimar]] as being similar to {{w|aconitine}}, which matches with the speed at which the poison affects anything exposed to it. 

However, it is possible that White Pikmin may be venomous as well. Venom must be injected with a wound from the attacker, and although White Pikmin do not do that directly in any [[canon]] game, some hints in non-canon media indicate that they might be able to expel some hazardous material and use it similarly to venomous creatures. 

In the short movie ''[[Occupational Hazards]]'', a White Pikmin spews some form of acid at one point. The contents of the liquid are not known, but the fact that the Pikmin can expel it might mean that it is possible for White Pikmin to attack enemies by injecting this liquid, making them partially venomous. The liquid itself is highly corrosive and can melt metal objects. In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], when a White Pikmin pummels an enemy (either via Olimar's grab or side special attack), some "poison" particles are emitted and extra damage is caused, compared to a normal Pikmin strike. 

Although those points are ambiguous at best, the European version of their trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' does mention that they have venom.{{cite quote|{{Notes:White Pikmin/ssb43dseu}}|Trophy description|''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''}}

Even though this information only applies to non-canon media, White Pikmin do emit a cloud of "poison" from their mouth area on their introduction [[cutscene]]. This could be a sign of a potential venom injection ability that goes unused by the Pikmin in the canon games. That being said, it is also possible that the Pikmin's poison is simply absorbed through an enemy's skin and that the particle effects are purely aesthetic, or otherwise meant to illustrate their abilities without having to allow a Pikmin to be eaten first. This is further supported by multiple reports of aconite poisoning being caused by handling the plant without protective gloves.

==In ''Pikmin 2''==
===Discovery===
[[File:White Pikmin.png|thumb|150px|A White Pikmin when first discovered in the White Flower Garden.]]
[[Captain Olimar]] first finds the White Pikmin in the [[White Flower Garden]]. On the 3rd sublevel, he runs across 3 [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s, and throws his available Pikmin into them to turn them into White Pikmin. Once he plucks one, the [[Hocotate ship]] immediately notices that they are much smaller than the others, but appear to be faster. On their way through the sublevel's exit route, the White Pikmin stop in their tracks and automatically start digging out a buried treasure in the way, alerting Olimar and [[Louie]] of their ability.

===Mandatory uses===
White Pikmin are needed for the following treasures and tasks, as no other Pikmin type is up for the job, not even if exploits are used.

*Treasures
**Any and all fully buried treasures. Such a list can be found '''[[Dig#Fully buried treasures|here]]'''.
*Enemies
**None
*Caves
**None

===Recommended uses===
[[File:Poison.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Poison emitter]]s are hazardous obstacles that often block treasures and can only be destroyed by White Pikmin.]]
White Pikmin are recommended for the following tasks, although they are not strictly necessary.

*Treasures
**{{icon|Geographic Projection|y}}: There is a [[gate]] covered in poison emitters blocking the way to the treasure. However, it's possible to ignore the gate and build the [[bridge]] by the treasure instead by going out of bounds, or by using Blue Pikmin (the early Blue Pikmin glitch is required for this latter method).
**{{icon|Seed of Greed|y}}: The section of the [[Wistful Wild]] with this treasure is blocked off by two gates with poison emitters, each on different exits. The emitters can be destroyed with the [[Gatling Groink]]'s shots, though.
**{{icon|Anti-hiccup Fungus|y}}: Same as Seed of Greed.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Munge Dweevil|y}}: This member of the [[Dweevil family]] can expel a poisonous compound if provoked enough, but they can be attacked with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Doodlebug|y}}: They can occasionally shoot gas clouds that can choke non-White Pikmin, but can be attacked with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Titan Dweevil|y}}: This boss can shoot poison clouds out of one of its weapons.
**{{icon|Ujadani|y}}: This rare enemy has a small chance to expel a poison cloud, but they can be attacked with any Pikmin type.
*Caves
**[[Subterranean Complex]]: The entrance is locked by a poison gate, although it is possible to get a leader onto the ledge by using a [[Path oversights#Valley of Repose|carrying path oversight]]. Other Pikmin types can also take down the poison emitters on certain throws.
**[[Snagret Hole]]: To reach the section of the map with the entrance to the Snagret Hole, a bridge must be built that has [[poison emitter]]s around them. However, it is possible to use a [[Path oversights#Awakening Wood|carrying path oversight]] to get a leader to the top of the ledge where the [[Sunseed Berry]] is, from the landing site.
**[[Dream Den]]: Same as the Seed of Greed.
*Other
**The [[Yellow Onion]] is in a room closed off by a gate with poison emitters. It is, however, possible to use a [[Path oversights#Perplexing Pool|carrying path oversight]] to get to that room and bypass the gate. In addition, other Pikmin types can also, if ineffectively, destroy the poison emitters.

==In ''Pikmin 3''==
White Pikmin, like [[Purple Pikmin]], are only present in [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]], in ''Pikmin 3'', and even then, only in some of the levels. This list contains all stages where White Pikmin can be found, either ready to use, or obtainable through [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s.

===Discovery===
In {{p4}}, White Pikmin can first be found in [[Subzero Sauna]], by the use of White [[Candypop Bud]]s hidden in frozen [[hydro jelly]].

===Recommended uses===
White Pikmin are recommended for the following tasks, but [[Oatchi]], [[Glow Pikmin]], [[Pikmin 4 player character|the player]] and other [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] types can also do them. 
====Treasures====
{{todo|Write a list of treasures which White Pikmin are useful for collecting.}}

==In ''Pikmin Bloom''==
In {{pb}}, White Pikmin are the fifth Pikmin type unlocked, at [[level]] 9. Their [[seedling]]s require a minimum of 3 carrying strength to be retrieved, along with 3000 steps to grow. In [[expedition]]s, they have a carrying strength of 1 and have a [[Expedition#Speed|time modifier]] of 0.5. In [[mushroom battle]]s, they have a base [[Mushroom battle#Attack power|attack power]] of 2 and are the only Pikmin that can battle Poisonous Mushrooms.

==Notes==
===Olimar's Voyage Log===
{{transcript|Rare White Pikmin come from Candypop Buds that bloom in caves. They're small and notably fast on their feet, but their attacks are lacking. Imbued with enough poison to be lethal to a Bulborb, these wily Pikmin are resistant to poisonous gas themselves.|block=y}}

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|These tiny White Pikmin can dart about quite swiftly. Their bold red eyes are as charming as they are startling. Like a flower that has sharp thorns, these cute little ones possess a potent poison! Such small critters need to be tough to survive.|block=y}}

===Olimar's notes ===
{{transcript|White Pikmin are "born" through a color-changing process within white Candypop Buds, which only grow underground.

The poison within its body is a type of diterpene alkaloid similar to a toxin often found in certain plant roots. If ingested, it can lead to vomiting, respiratory distress, and complete organ failure, ultimately resulting in death due to cardiac arrest.

Though strong, this poison also has medicinal uses, sometimes going by the name aconite.

The Pikmin are Ambuloradices and evolved from plants, but it seems some species retain more of their plant-based evolutionary heritage than others.|block=y}}

=== Louie's notes ===
{{transcript|Not meant to be ingested. Best used as bait.|block=y}}

Feature #2: Poisonous
:It has a strong poison in its body that can kill creatures that prey on White Pikmin.

Feature #3: Quick on its feet
:It can run the fastest of all Pikmin. However, it has a small body, and its striking power is weak.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
White Pikmin appear in {{ssbb}}, {{ssb4}}, and {{ssbu}} as a kind of Pikmin that Olimar is able to pull from the ground via his standard special move, Pikmin Pluck. They also appear as a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U''. They have the lowest vitality, and deliver the lowest amount of damage and knockback if Olimar uses them for his aerials and smashes, but when they latch onto an enemy, they deal poison damage, which is much more damaging than the pummeling of other Pikmin. White Pikmin can be [[throw]]n the farthest, despite this not being the case in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. In ''Brawl'', they also appear as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]].

===''Pikmin 3'' poison===
In {{p3}}, all enemies have a value for how many White Pikmin ingestions it takes to kill them. To calculate the damage dealt by eating a White Pikmin, the health of the enemy is divided by this value. For enemies that cannot eat Pikmin, and also [[boss]]es, this value is set to 0. The following list shows the values used by different enemies:

===''Pikmin 4'' poison===
In {{p4}}, all enemies that eat Pikmin can take damage from White Pikmin ingestions, with the exceptions of [[Startle Spore]]s, [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]]s, and [[Moldy Slooch]]es, due to all 3 enemies being poisonous.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikmin carry size change.png|thumb|The White Pikmin carrying the [[Massage Girdle]] is larger than the one standing behind [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]].]]
*While carrying an object, White Pikmin will become slightly larger, about as large as any other Pikmin type. They revert to their original size once they stop carrying said object. This will occur in both ''Pikmin 2'' and ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2''.
*White Pikmin have a subtle shift from white to a purplish tint at the end of their limbs. This trait of color-shifting is uncommon in most Pikmin types, although it is much more noticeable in [[Winged Pikmin]].
*In a few pieces of Pikmin media, White Pikmin are shown have short-tempers.
