'''Rock Pikmin''' are greyish-black, shaped like rocks, and have indigo flowers. They are present in ''Pikmin 3'', ''Pikmin 4'', ''Hey! Pikmin'', and ''Pikmin Bloom''. Their hardness allows them to destroy [[crystal]] obstacles, attack enemies through a powerful [[Combat#Rock Pikmin|direct impact]], and be resistant to being [[crush]]ed or [[stab]]bed.

'''Winged Pikmin''' are pink and have wings, blue eyes, and indigo flowers. They are present in ''Pikmin 3'', ''Pikmin 4'', ''Hey! Pikmin'', and ''Pikmin Bloom''. They can fly over [[water]] and low barriers, allowing them to take shortcuts when [[carry]]ing, as well as making it harder for enemies to attack them, but their attack strength is lower than other Pikmin types.

Their proportions, with a large head and very narrow limbs, make them look a bit like carrots, and this resemblance also exists in the way that Pikmin grow in the ground and can be pulled out of it. While buried in the ground, their limbs serve as roots; Olimar refers to their entire bodies, save the stems, as ambulatory root structures.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Creeping Chrysanthemum/olimar}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's notes|his notes]] for the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]}} While all Pikmin of a type are the same size in most games, in {{pb}}, individual Pikmin have slightly different sizes.

*For an unknown reason, in ''Pikmin 2'', it is impossible to have one hundred Pikmin buried in the same area or sublevel, if the Pikmin in question were buried by an enemy. The last Pikmin will simply get knocked back (in the case of a [[Mamuta]]){{cite youtube|klaIcvk5P_U|showing it is impossible for a Mamuta to bury more than ninety-nine Pikmin}} or stay idle (in the case of a [[Swooping Snitchbug]]){{cite youtube|VWSCfO4aUCU|showing it is impossible for a Swooping Snitchbug to bury more than ninety-nine Pikmin}}. Attempting to get one hundred seeds via delivering items to an Onion is possible though.
