White Pikmin are a type of Pikmin, found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3. They are the third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2, and are produced through Ivory Candypop Buds, the first of which are found the White Flower Garden. Like Purple Pikmin, their flowers are magenta rather than white. They are not present in Pikmin, and they are only found in the Mission and Bingo Battle modes of Pikmin 3. They are distinguished by their red eyes, pale color, and small stature.

These Pikmin are smaller than other types of Pikmin. They have red compound eyes devoid of pupils, that allow them to locate treasures that are completely buried underground, 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 captains equipped with Rush Boots. White Pikmin are also immune to poison, allowing them to destroy poison pipes and walk through poisonous emissions. Also, they can release toxic secretions to deal damage to enemies when consumed; this damage varies between enemies. However, this does not prevent their death, leaving this ability as a last resort.

White Pikmin return in Pikmin 3, but only in Mission Mode and Bingo Battle. They are obtained from Ivory Candypop Buds or can simply be found and plucked from the ground. They are considerably weaker than they are in Pikmin 2, doing about 0.75× the amount of damage a Blue or Yellow Pikmin does. They are also not found in any areas with poison that they can access, nullifying their previous resistance; likewise, there are no fully buried fruits or treasures that can be discovered using these Pikmin. They can still poison enemies, but less damage is dealt from the poison.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

White Pikmin appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U as a kind of Pikmin that Olimar is able to pull from the ground via his standard special move, Pikmin Pluck. They are the weakest and deliver the lowest amount of damage and knockback if Olimar uses them for his aerials and smashes, but when they latch onto an enemy, they deal poison damage, which is much more damaging than the pummeling of other Pikmin. White Pikmin can be thrown the farthest, despite this not being the case in the Pikmin games.

Brawl trophy description

The White Pikmin trophy.

"A type of Pikmin. White Pikmin are resistant to poisons and are themselves toxic to creatures that eat them. Their low weight makes them very speedy, and they can also dig up buried items. White and purple Pikmin do not live inside Onions, so you must change other Pikmin into them by tossing them into ivory candypop buds and violet candypop buds."

Trivia

• While carrying an object, white Pikmin will become slightly larger, about as large as any other Pikmin type. They revert to their original size once they stop carrying said object. This will occur in both Pikmin 2 and New Play Control! Pikmin 2.
• White Pikmin have the least amount of health out of all Pikmin types in the Super Smash Bros. games, despite the fact that they deal the most damage to opponents.
• In-game in Pikmin 2, White Pikmin have a subtle shift from white to a purplish tint at the end of their limbs. This trait of color-shifting is uncommon in most Pikmin types, although it is much more noticeable in Winged Pikmin.
