'''Blue Pikmin''' ({{j|青ピクミン|Ao Pikumin}}) are a blue species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that reside on [[PNF-404]]. They have the special ability of [[water]] resistance. This type of Pikmin is present in all game modes of all {{pg}}, and is the last type to be discovered in the [[Story mode]] of {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p3}}. Besides their 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 gills, giving them the ability to breathe both underwater and on dry land. Producing more Blue Pikmin can be done by carrying [[pellet]]s or [[enemy]] carcasses to the [[Blue Onion]] (or the Master Onion), or by throwing other species into a [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]] or a [[Candypop Bud]]. As with [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white.
