Glow Pikmin are a new type of Pikmin that can only be used at night, during night expeditions. Glow Pikmin have bright green, bioluminescent bodies. They have no legs, and their bodies instead end in a tapered, 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. Their flowers are also slightly differently shaped, with pointed petals instead of the normal rounded ones. They also appear to be slightly smaller than other Pikmin types.
Glow Pikmin are the only Pikmin that can be used during night expeditions. They can be thrown and commanded like other Pikmin; however, they have a unique "charge" mechanic. The player is able to charge up their squad of Glow Pikmin, causing them to coalesce into a single, glowing ball, which then charges forward when the charge is released. If this glowing ball comes into contact with an enemy, it will burst and the enemy will be stunned; this also causes the Glow Pikmin to de-merge from the glowing ball and float to the enemy, attacking it.
Glow Pikmin are not plucked from the ground; instead, they appear to be created by the Luminols the player is tasked with protecting. Glow Pikmin do not have Onions or Candypop Buds like most Pikmin; instead, to produce more Glow Pikmin, the player must collect glowing rocks that resemble konpeitō. The Glow Pikmin will bring these to Luminols, generating more Glow Pikmin. Glow seeds can be used to summon Glow Pikmin in caves. It should also be noted they are immune to fire, water, ice, electricity, and poison.
