'''Glow Pikmin''' are a type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in {{P4}}. They are unlocked and mainly used during [[night expedition]]s, though they can also be summoned in caves and using a special item in [[Dandori Battle]]s.

Glow Pikmin have bright lime-green, bioluminescent bodies. They have no legs; their bodies instead end in a tapered and ghost-like tail. Because of this, they have the ability to float. They have blue eyes, though one of them appears to be larger than the other and has a light blue pupil. They behave similarly to [[Bulbmin]] in that they have resistance to nearly all hazards. Their flowers are also differently shaped, with five pointed petals (resembling a star) instead of the normal rounded ones. They also appear to be slightly smaller than other Pikmin types. They also remain the only Pikmin, as of ''Pikmin 4'', to not have an [[Onion]] or even a [[Candypop Bud]]. Rather, they cultivate in [[Lumiknoll]]s.

In terms of [[hazards]], Glow Pikmin are functionally immune to [[fire]], [[electricity]], [[water]], [[poison]], and [[ice]]. They are also immune to the [[Groovy Long Legs]]'s [[confusion|dancing gas]], ink from a [[Toady Bloyster]] or the opponent in Dandori Battles, and the [[Muckerskate]] shots' burying ability. They are however still subject to being eaten, [[crush]]ed, [[stab]]bed by needles, [[panic]], and [[wind]]. According to the Rescue Corps and the Piklopedia, Glow Pikmin transmute themselves into photons and reconstitute at the Lumiknoll upon "dying"; however, from a gameplay perspective, a Glow Pikmin is permanently gone upon "death" as with any other Pikmin. Glow Pikmin cannot become buried as sprouts, instead, they will simply be embedded into the ground before unearthing themselves after a short time, similar to Rock Pikmin that get crushed.

Despite their ability to float, they behave differently from [[Winged Pikmin]] in that they will not carry objects over gaps or other paths that only Winged Pikmin can traverse, but instead stay low to the ground and take the same path as any walking Pikmin would. They cannot die from falling or being thrown into an abyss, though, unlike Winged Pikmin, they will not stop themselves and instead disappear into the void only to reappear back with the player as if they had gone idle. They also need to be level with any object they swarm and will not fly upward to the target like Winged Pikmin (such as when fighting a [[Baldy Long Legs]]). This may have been done to encourage the use of their Glowmob ability, which gives more height to their attacks.

=== Olimar's Notes ===

===Louie's Notes===

 

オニヨンではなくヒカリヅカをすみかにしている。

 

夜になると現れ、夜行性の外敵からヒカリヅカを護っている。

 

離れた場所に瞬時に移動したり、群れがひと塊となって強烈な光を放つなど、生物の常識では考えられない動きを見せる。

 

It lives not in Onions, but in Lumiknolls.

 

It appears at night to protect the Lumiknoll from nocturnal enemies.

 

It exhibits movements that are unthinkable for living creatures, such as moving instantly to distant places and forming a group and emitting intense light.

* Glow Pikmin are the only Pikmin type not to be in the Pikmin family, as their unusual characteristics make it uncertain if they can be called Pikmin or if they are even alive by any conventional definition of the term. In fact, if Olimar's speculation is correct they may actually be ghosts.

* Olimar's notes on the Glow Pikmin appear to reference the lyrics to ''[[Ai no Uta]]''.
