White Pikmin are found only in Pikmin 2, where they are the third type of Pikmin found. They are produced through Ivory Candypop Buds, the first of which are in the White Flower Garden. Like Purple Pikmin, their flowers are pink rather than white.

These Pikmin are smaller than other types of Pikmin. They have red eyes devoid of pupils, that allow them to locate treasures that are completely buried underground, which is demonstrated shortly after collecting them. 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 release toxic secretions when eaten, and in doing so deal heavy damage to their predator. However, this does not prevent their death, leaving this ability as a last resort. Interestingly, these Pikmin attack and down Pellet Posies faster than either Yellow Pikmin or Blue Pikmin. Each attack does the same amount of damage, but the White Pikmin attacks faster.

Three Ivory Candypops are found in the White Flower Garden on Sublevel 3 when you have 19 or fewer whites, and many are on Sublevel 4 of the Subterranean Complex.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

White Pikmin appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a kind of Pikmin 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 than the pummeling of other Pikmin. White Pikmin can be thrown the farthest, due to their light weight.

Trophy information

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 occour in both Pikmin 2 and New Play Control! Pikmin 2.
