 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.
-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. Interestingly, Blue Pikmin are more likely to die than other types in ''Pikmin 2'', as noted [[Combat#Likeliness to die|here]].

+==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|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.

 In {{pb}}, Blue Pikmin are the third Pikmin type unlocked, at [[level]] 4. Their [[seedling]]s require a minimum of 1 carrying strength to be retrieved, along with 1000 steps to grow. In [[expedition]]s, they have a carrying strength of 1 and have a [[Expedition#Speed|time modifier]] of 1.

 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 (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''. 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.
