(The list is useful for players to figure out which Pikmin types they need to bring for a task. For Calcified Crushblats, Blue Pikmin aren't needed. Plus, there are Candypop Buds nearby. As for the Quaggled Mireclops, they're recommended, not mandatory.) |

'''Blue Pikmin''' ({{j|青ピクミン|Ao Pikumin}}), as their name implies, are a blue species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that reside on [[PNF-404]]. This type of Pikmin is present in all game modes of all three [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], and in all of them, it is the last type to be discovered. Besides coloration, these Pikmin are distinguishable from other Pikmin species by their pink mouths, a trait seen in no other Pikmin species. These mouths are used to take in water, which filters oxygen through the gills located on their cheeks. This gives them the astonishing ability to breathe both underwater and on dry land.

As with the other main types of Pikmin, their buds and flowers are white. | ||

In ''Pikmin'', Olimar finds the dormant Blue Onion in [[The Forest Navel]], which proves to be a big help in the aquatic area, [[The Distant Spring]]. Their Onion is found near the massive stump holding the [[Automatic Gear]], and is located inside a small pond. Like with the red and yellow Onions, a seed pops out when the Onion wakes up, which Olimar then plucks. The Blue Pikmin's ability to live underwater is immediately demonstrated, since the Onion, the seed, and the new Pikmin appear underwater during this event. | ||
In ''Pikmin 2'', 5 Blue Pikmin are found in the [[Awakening Wood]]. This is first hinted at when the Onion stops spitting out seeds, but there are only a reported 95 out [[100 Pikmin limit|100 Pikmin]] on the field. They are found chasing a few [[Wogpoles]] beyond an [[electric gate]] guarded by a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] at the north of the map. To obtain them, Olimar and [[Louie]] break down the gate with the Yellow Pikmin, and proceed to [[whistle]] them to take them under their command. Once again, their underwater prowesses are instantly noticeable, since they're found in a large lake. | In ''Pikmin 2'', 5 Blue Pikmin are found in the [[Awakening Wood]].

The explorers chase after him, but instead find an Onion trapped under a [[Flukeweed]]. From this, the Blue Onion is found, and after it ejects a seed that is then plucked, the explorers discover the Blue Pikmin, which prove to be essential in finding Louie. As with the previous games, the Blue Pikmin are instantly shown to be able to withstand being underwater, since the Onion, seed, and newly-plucked Pikmin are underwater. | ||
