'''Blue Pikmin''' are distinguishable from other [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by their pink gills, resembling a mouth. Producing more can be done by returning objects to the [[blue Onion]] or using [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]]s.
'''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 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.
 
==Traits and abilities==
[[File:Blue Pikmin discovery.png|thumb|left|150px|Blue Pikmin being re-discovered in ''Pikmin 2''.]]
Only the Blue Pikmin and [[Bulbmin]] can safely traverse watery areas; any other type will simply flail around in panic before drowning. Winged Pikmin may move and [[carry]] objects above the surface of the water, but if thrown onto a pool, they will not be able to swim. 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. However, they will not rescue Pikmin if they are a certain distance away, so they can't always be relied on. In ''Pikmin 3'', this feature was removed, and Blue Pikmin now also have the ability to swim freely while in pursuit, something necessary to reach some [[Enemy|enemies]] that lie above the ground level.
 
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.

==Discovery==
[[File:BlueOnionP3.png|thumb|right|200px|The blue Onion activating in ''Pikmin 3''.]]
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 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 take them under their command.
 
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.
 
==Mandatory uses==
Blue Pikmin are needed to recover the following objects, and to kill the following [[enemies]], as no other Pikmin type can complete these tasks, not even with exploits.
 
===''Pikmin''===
{{game help|p|Check if the [[lie down]] trick can be used to get these pieces out of the water.}}
*Ship parts
**{{icon|Interstellar Radio|y}}: The Puffy Blowhog containing this ship part is over water and the path to carry the ship part back to the ship goes through the large lake of water.
**{{icon|Repair-type Bolt|y}}: This part is on top of a ledge. When it falls off, it will almost immediately land in the water.
**{{icon|Massage Machine|y}}: This part is across a large lake, with the bridge that must be built located on the opposite shore.
**{{icon|Chronos Reactor|y}}: This part is located a long way across water. As part of the puzzle, the Blue Pikmin carrying this part must first become Yellow Pikmin.
**{{icon|Number 2 Ionium Jet|y}}: This part is on top of a tall ledge that opens into water.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Goolix|y}}: No other Pikmin type can touch its body.
 
===''Pikmin 2''===
*Treasures
**{{icon|Decorative Goo|y}}: The path to carry the treasure back to the ship goes through water.
**{{icon|Onion Replica|y}}: Same as the Decorative Goo.
**{{icon|Optical Illustration|y}} (US) / {{icon|Abstract Masterpiece|y|v=EU}} (Europe): Same as the Decorative Goo.
**{{icon|Massage Girdle|y}}: Same as the Decorative Goo.
*Enemies
**None.
*Caves
**[[Shower Room]]: The entrance to the cave is blocked by a [[clog]] underwater.
**[[Submerged Castle]]: Only Blue Pikmin can enter this cave, as its entrance is underwater. Even with exploits, only Blue Pikmin are allowed to enter.{{cite youtube|vLbnXgWkoz4|with attempts to bring non-Blues into the Submerged Castle}}
*Other
**The first [[clog]] on the [[Valley of Repose]] must be destroyed by Blue Pikmin in order to drain the lake and continue to the second half of the area.
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
{{stub}}
*Fruits
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}}: The one inside the [[Calcified Crushblat]] is closed off by a [[Gate#Dirt wall|dirt wall]] that is completely submerged in water.
**{{icon|Portable Sunset|y}}: There is one in the [[Distant Tundra]] that is on a low branch above a pool of water. Upon throwing 8 Pikmin on it, it will fall into the water. Winged Pikmin can also be used to detach the fruit, but it'll land in the water regardless.
**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}}: The one in the [[Twilight River]] is found underwater. Another in the [[Garden of Hope]] is also underwater.
**{{icon|Crunchy Deluge|y}}: Like the Citrus Lump, this fruit is located underwater.
**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}}: There is one in the [[Garden of Hope]] that is underwater besides a dirt wall.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Sputtlefish|y}}: The Sputtlefish always remains underwater, so it must be defeated by Blue Pikmin.
**{{icon|Puckering Blinnow|y}}: These enemies are underwater enemies.  


Only they and [[Bulbmin]] are able to safely traverse watery areas (although [[Winged Pikmin]] can fly over it); any other type will only flail around in panic before drowning. They are able to perform any action in [[water]] that they can on land. If they are idle and see a nearby fellow Pikmin drowning in water, they will quickly run to them, pick them up, and [[throw]] them to shore.
==Recommended uses==
Blue Pikmin are not mandatory for the following tasks, but are recommended. Some of these cannot be completed without Blues unless exploits are used.


[[Image:Normal_34_Pikmin2_GCN_screen22.jpg‎|thumb|left|Blue Pikmin in ''Pikmin 2''.]]
===''Pikmin''===
Blue Pikmin are the last type of Pikmin discovered in all the games. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', their Onion is found in the [[Forest Navel]], and in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', 5 blues can be found near their Onion in [[Awakening Wood]] by the use of [[yellow Pikmin]]. Yellow Pikmin are required to break down the electric fence: by throwing them up onto the ledge, then going around through the water. There is a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] buried there that must be defeated. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', blue Pikmin are discovered in a new area of the [[Garden of Hope]], after [[Louie]] steals all the player's juice and escapes from the [[S.S. Drake]]. The [[blue Onion]] is initially buried, and [[winged Pikmin]] are needed to pull it out of the ground. Blue Pikmin seem to be well-balanced in strength, mobility, and throw. They are often considered the most vital Pikmin, especially in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]], because they can go in water, which takes up a large amount of the terrain.
*Ship parts
**{{icon|Positron Generator|y}}: The ship is on a Pearly Clamclamp on a beach. Although by using small islands on the beach, it is possible to attack the Pearly Clamclamp using Red or Yellow Pikmin, and the ship part can then be pushed out of the water with the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Lying down glitch|lying down glitch]].{{cite youtube|cB2E8pCVqco|showing the Positron Generator being recovered using only Red Pikmin}}
**{{icon|Radiation Canopy|y}}: The path that Olimar needs to cross is blocked by a gate on a body of water. However, with precise [[throw]]s, it's possible to throw bomb-rock Yellow Pikmin to the top of the gate, and destroy it without needing Blues.
**{{icon|Geiger Counter|y}}: In order to reach the [[Burrowing Snagret]] that holds the ship part, a [[cardboard box]] must be pushed out of the way, and Blue Pikmin need to be guided from a puddle to the backside of the box. Although it is possible to use other Pikmin to throw the box, either with [[Throw#Longer throw trick|long throws]] or by throwing them to the top of the box and [[Group move|guiding them]] to the back.
**{{icon|Sagittarius|y}}: Two bridges must be built to reach the part, but one of them can only be reached by tossing Pikmin while in a large pond. Luckily, there is a small protrusion on the island that allows non-Blue Pikmin to shore on, and from there, they can be thrown at the bridge. To reach the bit of land, the Pikmin can just swim towards it from the mainland.
**{{icon|Analog Computer|y}}: This ship part is submerged in water, although it can be taken out using the lying down glitch.
**{{icon|Number 1 Ionium Jet|y}}: Same as the Analog Computer.
**{{icon|Libra|y}}: Blue Pikmin are needed to activate the geyser that gives Olimar access to the first high ledge. Although it is possible to have other Pikmin types open the geyser: if they are [[Group move|guided]] towards it, they might land one or two hits before starting their drowning sequence. They can just be called back, and the process can be repeated until the geyser is enabled.{{cite youtube|79o04GEvocI|showing how, in theory, one can obtain the Libra using only Red Pikmin}}
**{{icon|Anti-Dioxin Filter|y}}: The part is on a large pool of water, but with the lying down glitch, it is possible to take it out without Blues.
**{{icon|Gluon Drive|y}}: This part is opposite a wide river, and a bridge must be built from the other side. However, Pikmin can be tossed from the [[Zirconium Rotor]]'s location.
**{{icon|Zirconium Rotor|y}}: This part is behind a gate that is difficult to destroy without Blue Pikmin, but it can be done.
**{{icon|Secret Safe|y}}: The island with the bridges is in the middle of the lake, meaning Blue Pikmin must traverse it to reach it. That said, it is not too hard to guide Red or Yellow Pikmin to the island, by whistling them to it while they're drowning.
*Enemies
**None
 
===''Pikmin 2''===
*Treasures
**{{icon|Air Brake|y}}: Only Blue Pikmin can use the [[seesaw block]]s that are underwater. With [[Throw#Longer throw trick|long throws]] and/or the [[Throw#High ledge glitch|high ledge glitch]], Yellow or Purple Pikmin can access the ledge the treasure is on and carry it back safely.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Wogpole|y}}: Although this aquatic enemy can jump onto land and become vulnerable, the chances of this happening are quite slim.
*Caves
**None
*Other
**In order to access the southern part of the [[Wistful Wild]], an underwater clog must be taken down. The only way to bring things back to the landing site is to build the bridge on the other side of a lake; provided the player has destroyed the clog, they can go around and build it with any Pikmin type, but if not, Blues will have to cross the lake and build it.
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
{{stub}}
*Fruits
**None
*Enemies
**{{icon|Wogpole|v=P3|y}}: Although this underwater enemy can jump onto land and become vulnerable, the chances of this happening are quite slim.
**{{icon|Skeeterskate|y}}: Skeeterskates can be killed by any Pikmin in one shot, but non-Blues will fall on the water and start to drown right after.

{{external|Pikmin as fighters|[[smashwiki:Pikmin (species)|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}
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.
