'''White Pikmin''' ({{j|白ピクミン|Shiro Pikumin}}) are a type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in {{p2}}, {{p4}}, {{pb}}, and non-story game modes in {{p3}}. They are the third type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in ''Pikmin 2'', the first of which are found in the [[White Flower Garden]]. Their most noteworthy characteristics are their faster speed compared to other Pikmin, ability to find [[Dig#Digging out objects|buried objects]] that are completely hidden underground, and their immunity to [[poison]]. Their defining physical characteristics are their red eyes, white color, and smaller size.

Their defining physical characteristics are their red eyes, white color, and smaller size.


In ''Pikmin 2'', White Pikmin share a number of similarities with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Firstly, they can only be obtained via certain [[Candypop Bud]]s, in this case [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s in ''Pikmin 2'', and [[Candypop Buds]] in ''Pikmin 4''. Their flowers (as well as buds) are magenta rather than white. In addition, at the [[Day#Sunset|end of each day]], they are stored in the [[Hocotate ship]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', they are stored in the Master Onion instead, and a White Onion can be obtained to produce White Pikmin by completing the 5th floor of the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]].

White Pikmin are smaller than other types of Pikmin. They have red eyes that in ''Pikmin 2'' allow them to locate treasures that are completely [[Dig|buried underground]], unlike other Pikmin, which is demonstrated shortly after discovering them in the [[White Flower Garden]]. They are the fastest of all Pikmin, such that, when flowered, they run at least as quickly as [[leader]]s equipped with [[Rush Boots]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', this is their main ability, as they are only found in Mission Mode, which requires carrying back treasures quickly. In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', they have weaker attack power than most other Pikmin, on par with [[Winged Pikmin]], but match the strength of the standard types in ''Pikmin 2''.

White Pikmin also possess the unique ability to be able to stand through [[poison]]ous gases without choking to death, as do [[Bulbmin]]. This makes them quite important when taking out poisonous enemies and destroying [[poison emitter]]s, although other types of Pikmin might still be able to cause damage, with some difficulty. Upon being eaten, White Pikmin eject a poisonous fluid into the eater, which poisons them. This causes instant [[Health|damage]], and is often enough to kill smaller enemies, like a [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]. With that said, this does not prevent the Pikmin's death, so it should be used as a last resort. The damage dealt by poison varies per game and [[difficulty]] mode. In ''Pikmin 3'', they seem to not be immune to [[ink]]{{cite youtube|SmtH-P8W4N8|demonstrating how White Pikmin are inked by a Sputtlefish in water}} or the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]'s dust,{{cite youtube|zjZsrXtwiSk|demonstrating how White Pikmin are not immune to the Vehemoth Phosbat's dust}} which are the two closest things to poison in the game. In ''Pikmin 4'', White Pikmin are no longer the only Pikmin type that can unearth completely buried objects and deal less poison damage to enemies that eat them than in ''Pikmin 2'' They also do less damage on throw impact than other types due to their light weight. However, they make up for this with their swift movement and carry speed (particularly useful in [[Dandori Challenge]]s) and their ability to deal with the greater number of poison-spewing enemies and hazards, particularly within the final area of the game: the [[Primordial Thicket]].

White Pikmin are poisonous; if ingested by an enemy, they will poison their foe (with different enemies requiring different doses before dying). The poison itself is described by Olimar as being similar to [[wikipedia:aconitum|aconite]], which matches with the speed at which the poison affects anything exposed to it.

However, it is possible that White Pikmin may be venomous as well. Venom must be injected with a wound from the attacker, and although White Pikmin do not do that directly in any [[canon]] game, some hints in non-canon media indicate that they might be able to expel some hazardous material and use it similarly to venomous creatures.

[[Captain Olimar]] first finds the White Pikmin in the [[White Flower Garden]]. On the 3rd sublevel, he runs across 3 [[Ivory Candypop Buds]], and throws his available Pikmin into them to turn them into White Pikmin. Once he plucks one, the [[Hocotate ship]] immediately notices that they are much smaller than the others, but appear to be faster. On their way through the sublevel's exit route, the White Pikmin stop in their tracks and automatically start digging out a buried treasure in the way, alerting Olimar and [[Louie]] of their ability.

Resistance to Poison
