'''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]]. As with [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]], their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white.

Only Blue Pikmin and [[Bulbmin]] can safely traverse [[water]]y areas, as any other type will simply flail around in panic before drowning. Winged Pikmin may move and [[carry]] objects above the surface of water bodies, but if thrown into water or if hit by droplets fired by enemies, such as the [[Skeeterskate]], 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. At least in ''Pikmin 2'', this throw works the same as a normal leader throw, which means it can be used for things like crushing a [[Dwarf Bulborb]].{{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/441917009|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|21|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|21|June|2019}}}} In ''Pikmin 3'', this rescuing 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 swim above the ground level.
Blue Pikmin are the only permanent Pikmin type which can safely enter [[water]] and traverse the floor underneath, as the other types (barring [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]], which are immune to all hazards) will simply flail around in panic before drowning if they are immersed ([[Ice Pikmin]] can float on the surface and [[Winged Pikmin]] can fly over, but neither can go under or resist water attacks from enemies). While in water, the Blue Pikmin behave almost the same as they do on land. In the first two games, 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. At least in ''Pikmin 2'', this throw aims at the nearest [[carrying]] path waypoint{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/DeliciousCallousLampThunBeast-h8VzgqK0BLgz3eEA|Video of Blue Pikmin throwing drowning Pikmin to the nearest waypoint, on dry land where the player has not gone yet|Twitch|published={{date|15|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|23|September|2023}}}}, and works the same as a normal leader throw, which means it can be used for things like crushing a [[Dwarf Bulborb]].{{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/441917009|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|21|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|21|June|2019}}}} In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', this rescuing 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 swim above the ground level.


Blue Pikmin seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have average [[attack]] power, durability, mobility, [[digging]] speed and throw distance. Blue Pikmin have very little utility outside of water, as most enemies that pose water hazards can easily be defeated without Blue Pikmin. Interestingly, Blue Pikmin are more likely to die than other types in ''Pikmin 2'', as noted [[Combat#Likeliness to die|here]].
Aside from their water resistance, Blue Pikmin have largely average [[attack]] power, durability, mobility, [[digging]] speed and throw distance. As such, they are not exceptional for most any activities outside of water, as most enemies that use water-based attacks can easily be defeated without Blue Pikmin. The only real exception to this is the addition of sprinkler hazards in ''Pikmin 4'' which, while on, only Blue Pikmin can safely pass through. Interestingly, Blue Pikmin are more likely to die than other types in ''Pikmin 2'', as noted [[Combat#Likeliness to die|here]].

**{{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.

In {{p2}}, 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 [[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 [[whistle]] them to take them under their command. Once again, their underwater prowesses are instantly noticeable, since they are found in a large lake.

==In ''Pikmin 4''==
===Discovery===
In {{p4}}, Blue Pikmin can first be found hidden away in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] or in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], with their Onion in the [[Serene Shores]]. Once the Blue Onion is brought to the Master Onion for the first time, it will be absorbed and will fuse with the Onion, and spit out a single blue seed.
In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], there are Blue Onions in the Blossoming Arcadia and Serene Shores.
===Required uses===
Due to one of [[Oatchi#Doggy Paddle|Oatchi's skills]] allowing him to swim and dive in water, Blue Pikmin are not strictly required to collect all treasures or [[castaway]]s or to defeat any enemies. Oatchi's Doggy Paddle ability at level 3 allows him to dive underwater to collect objects negating the use of Blue Pikmin. However, they are given as the starting Pikmin for certain [[Dandori Challenge]]s which are nearly impossible to beat without the use of them.

*{{icon|Bug-Eyed Crawmad|y|v=P4}}: Just like {{p3}}, both instances of this [[Boss#Minor bosses in Pikmin 4|Miniboss]] in [[Story mode]] appear near water, so Blue Pikmin are useful to avoid Pikmin deaths.
*{{icon|Hydro Dweevil|y|v=P4}}: This enemy sprays a watery liquid to attack, which is lethal to most Pikmin types, minus Blue Pikmin.
*{{icon|Man-at-Legs|y|v=P4}}: This [[Arachnode]] appears once in a sublevel covered in water, which Pikmin can drown in except Blue Pikmin.
*{{icon|Masterhop|y|v=P4}}: This enemy can jump on sandy floors to create puddles of water. Using Blue Pikmin to attack is recommended as they won’t drown in those water puddles.
*{{icon|Pearly Clamclamp|y|v=P4}}: All instances of this enemy appear in close proximity to bodies of water.
*{{icon|Pricklepuff|y|v=P4}}: These enemies are underwater enemies so Blue Pikmin are recommended.
*{{icon|Puckering Blinnow|y|v=P4}}: These are also underwater enemies.
*{{icon|Skeeterskate|y|v=P4}}: These enemies can be killed by any Pikmin type, but non-Blue Pikmin will fall in the water and start to drown right after.
*{{icon|Sovereign Bulblax|y|v=P4}}: Just like the Masterhop, the Bulblax's jumps can create watery puddles.
*{{icon|Watery Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy sprays water at Pikmin which is lethal to all minus Blue Pikmin.
*{{icon|Wolpole|y|v=P4}}: This creature generally resides submerged but does jump up onto land for a bit.

Blue Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' as kinds of Pikmin that Olimar can pull from the ground via Pikmin Pluck &ndash; his standard special move &ndash; as well as trophies. They are the only Pikmin that don't drown in water, and 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. In ''Brawl'', Olimar is most likely to pull up a Blue Pikmin if he is on a water-based surface, such as a cloud or ice.

They are the only Pikmin that don't drown in water, and are more durable than other types of Pikmin (besides [[Purple Pikmin]]). They also throw opponents the farthest with Olimar's grab attack (a possible reference to their lifeguarding ability), but otherwise have below average attack power. They can withstand water moves like Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Squirtle's water gun. In ''Brawl'', Olimar is most likely to pull up a Blue Pikmin if he is on a water-based surface, such as a cloud or ice. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Blue Pikmin do not have higher health than other types, but keep their water immunity. Their attacks now have the water element, and they deal standard damage compared to the previous entries.


Blue Pikmin also have a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] of them in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
Blue Pikmin also have a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] of them in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. They have a trophy in all games that trophies appear in, although, in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', they are part of the Pikmin trophy. They also have a spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', where their spirit battle consists of 10, weak and tiny Squirtles with water and ice resistance, as well as increased water attack power. They can also be obtained from the Spirit Board or by scanning the [[amiibo|Pikmin amiibo]]. Equipping the spirit increases the distance and power of thrown items.
