'''Blue Pikmin''', 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 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 live their lives completely underwater. Producing more Blue Pikmin can be easily done by dragging nutrients or animal carcasses to the blue [[Onion]] or by throwing other species into a [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]]. As with the other main types of Pikmin, their buds and flowers are white.

Blue Pikmin seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have average attack power, durability, mobility and throw distance. Blue Pikmin have very little utility outside of water, as most enemies that pose water hazards can easily be defeated without Blues.

Blue Pikmin are the last species of Pikmin encountered by the player. 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.

 

 

In ''Pikmin 3'', the blue Onion is found in the [[Garden of Hope]], but can only be found after [[Louie]] has absconded from the Koppaites. The explorers chase after him, but instead find an Onion trapped under a [[Flukeweed]]. From this, the blue Onion is found, and the explorers discover the Blue Pikmin, which prove to be essential in finding Louie.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==

Blue Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U]]'' as kinds of Pikmin that Olimar can pull from the ground via Pikmin Pluck, his standard special move, as well as trophies. They are the only Pikmin that don't drown in water, are more durable than other types of Pikmin (besides [[Purple Pikmin]]). They also throw opponents the farthest with Olimar's grab attack. They can withstand water moves like Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Squirtle's water gun. Olimar is most likely to pull up a Blue Pikmin if he is on a water-based surface, such as a cloud or ice.

The ''Brawl'' trophy description is as follows:

"''A type of Pikmin, which are curious creatures that follow and obey the person who picks them. If you take advantage of this trait, you can get them to help Capt. Olimar and Louie. The blue Pikmin are at home in water and cannot drown. Need to retrieve an object underwater or cross a water hazard to disarm a trap? Blue Pikmin are just the allies you need.''"

The description on the 3DS version of ''Smash 4'' is as follows:

 

"''This blue Pikmin walks around with its mouth ajar. At home in the water, they're very helpful when objects are submerged and need retrieving. In Smash Bros., blue Pikmin have defense second only to purple Pikmin. They are also able to do more damage when thrown, so don't be shy about hurling them at foes.''"
