'''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}}, as well as the fourth type discovered in {{p4}}. 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.

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. 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]].

In [[2-Player Battle]] in {{p2}}, Player 2's army is made up of Blue Pikmin, while Player 1's army is made up of [[Red Pikmin]]. For the sake of fairness, Blue Pikmin are given the same 1.5&times; attack power, and the only elemental hazards are from [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and [[Watery Blowhog]]s.

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 get a platinum medal without the use of them.

*{{icon|Baldy Long Legs|y|v=P4}}: In Cavern for a King, this enemy is fought above pools of water and mud, moving between the two. When over the water, Blue Pikmin are advisable to ensure that no Pikmin drown when shaken off.

*{{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}}: The Man-at-Legs' Cavern for a King appearance is in a large pool of water. Blue Pikmin can be used to attack for the sake of not drowning when thrown off.
*{{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. Blue Pikmin may be advisable because they are not vulnerable to this hazard.
*{{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.

{{transcript|The accepted theory is that Pikmin evolved from terrestrial root vegetables, and so would be unable to breathe underwater and subsequently drown. Yet the Blue Pikmin possess a gill resembling a mouth on their head, which enables them to be active underwater. While on land, they leaf and flower like other Pikmin species, and they breathe through the stomata on their skin, indicating they must be naturally amphibious.
