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 | 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. 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. This feature was removed in ''Pikmin 3. '' | ||
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. It should be noted, however, that blue Pikmin are more likely to be eaten over other Pikmin types in ''Pikmin 2'' only. The reasoning behind this is unknown. Blue Pikmin have very little utility outside of water, as most enemies that pose water hazards can easily be defeated without Blues. | Blue Pikmin seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have good attack power, durability, mobility and throw distance.
