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.
