Only the Blue Pikmin, [[Bulbmin]], and [[Winged Pikmin|Winged Pikmin are]] able to safely traverse watery areas; any other color will simply flail around in panic before drowning (it has been observed, however, that certain [[Mushroom Pikmin]] can traverse water as well as Blue Pikmin can). While in water, the Blue Pikmin behave almost the same as they do on land. If they are idle and see a nearby Pikmin drowning in water, they will quickly run to them, pick them up, and throw them to shore. This action is often called the "Lifeguard Ablility." However, they will not rescue Pikmin if they are a certain distance away, so they can't always be relied on. Blue Pikmin seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have good attack power, durability, mobility and throw distance. As of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Blue Pikmin can swim in schools to swarm aquatic enemies, which makes fighting enemies such as [[Water Dumple]]s and [[Puckering Blinnow]]s much easier. | Only the Blue Pikmin, [[Bulbmin]], and [[Winged Pikmin|Winged Pikmin are]] able to safely traverse watery areas; any other color will simply flail around in panic before drowning (it has been observed, however, that certain [[Mushroom Pikmin]] can traverse water as well as Blue Pikmin can).

Blue Pikmin are the last species of Pikmin discovered in all three games. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', their Onion is found in the [[Forest Navel]]. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', 5 of them can be found near their Onion chasing after Wogpoles in the [[Awakening Wood]] in the same area where the Radiation Canopy was found in ''Pikmin.'' To gain control of them, [[Yellow Pikmin]] are required to break down the electrified gate. Throw them up onto the ledge, then run around to whistle them. However, there is a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] buried outside of the arena that the Blue Pikmin reside in, so be wary. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', they are found in the [[Garden of Hope]] after rescuing [[Louie]] in the [[Twilight River]]. You must use the [[Winged Pikmin]] to pull the Blue Onion from the ground. They are often considered the least usefull Pikmin type, as most parts in ''Pikmin ''that seemingly require them can be obtained in another way. In ''Pikmin 2, ''a majority of the areas in the game can be reached without the need for Blue Pikmin. In ''Pikmin 3, ''Blues are the least useful and have little to no use in story mode, aside from getting 100% completion in the game by going back to the previous areas to collect the game's few submerged fruits. | Blue Pikmin are the last species of Pikmin discovered in all three games.

*In the beta game's code for ''Pikmin'', the Blue Pikmin, along with the Red Pikmin, could use [[Bomb Rock]]s. This was reimplemented in ''Pikmin 3''. | *In the beta game's code for ''Pikmin'', the Blue Pikmin, along with the Red Pikmin, could use [[Bomb Rock]]s. This was reimplemented in ''Pikmin 3''. | ||
*In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Blue Pikmin are the very last type of Pikmin found, and appear very late in the game. The only instance in the entire game where they are required is to construct the ceramic pot in the [[Garden of Hope]]. However, there is an exploit that allows the player to bypass the pot's construction, therefore making it possible to beat Pikmin 3 without ever rescuing the Blue Onion. | *In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Blue Pikmin are the very last type of Pikmin found, and appear very late in the game.

*Due to the Blue Pikmin's lack of use in most of the games, and appearances relatively late in the game, players often will attempt "Blueless Quests", a type of run where the player's goal is to complete as much as possible before Blue Pikmin ''must ''be used to progress further. | *Due to the Blue Pikmin's lack of use in most of the games, and appearances relatively late in the game, players often will attempt "Blueless Quests", a type of run where the player's goal is to complete as much as possible before Blue Pikmin ''must ''be used to progress further. | ||
