*[[pikipedia:Purple Pikmin|Purple Pikmin]] - An uncommon Pikmin both ten times as heavy and ten times as strong at carrying objects as other Pikmin, in addition to boasting double the attack power. When thrown, Purple Pikmin will cause a shockwave to occur on impact due to their weight; this can stun, injure, or even outright kill enemies, making them arguably overpowered in battle despite their very slow movement speed. Purple Pikmin are slightly taller and noticably fatter than other Pikmin; additionally, they also have hair-like protrusions on their heads. They also have a magenta bud and flower instead of the white that other Pikmin have.

*[[pikipedia:White Pikmin|White Pikmin]] - White Pikmin are much faster than other Pikmin and have red eyes that allow them to see underground and detect buried treasure. White Pikmin have poisonous bodies that will damage enemies should they be eaten. Furthermore, they are immune to poison and poison-based hazards. They are smaller than other Pikmin and, like Purple Pikmin, grow a magenta bud and flower.

*[[pikipedia:Bulbmin|Bulbmin]] - A parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a [[pikipedia:Bulborb|Bulborb]], a common enemy in the series. The actual Pikmin is never seen, rather, they constantly live inside their host. They are immune to fire, electricity, and poison, and also can move through water. However, Bulbmin are only found in certain [[pikipedia:cave|caves]] in ''Pikmin 2'', and are unable to be taken to the surface.

*[[pikipedia:Rock Pikmin|Rock Pikmin]] - Unlike other Pikmin, Rock Pikmin are shaped like irregular hunks of rock instead of smooth humanoid bodies. Their hardness allows them to crack crystallized objects when thrown and renders them immune to crushing and impaling hazards. They have slightly higher attack power (though not as much as Reds), but are unable to latch onto enemies, instead choosing to repeatedly ram into them. Their flowers are indigo.

*[[pikipedia:Winged Pikmin|Winged Pikmin]] - Winged Pikmin are pink in colour and have large lens-like eyes. Their insectoid wings allow them to fly over hazardous terrain and ground-bound attacks, as well as uproot certain plants from the ground and easily fight flying enemies despite their lower attack power. Like Rock Pikmin, they have indigo flowers.

Their insectoid wings allow them to fly over hazardous terrain and ground-bound attacks, as well as uproot certain plants from the ground and lift obstacles. They have lower attack power than other Pikmin, but deal double damage to flying enemies and are overall superior in aerial combat. Like Rock Pikmin, they have indigo flowers.


The plant on an individual Pikmin's head indicates how developed and strong it is, affecting battling ability and running speed. A fully bloomed flower means a Pikmin is stronger and faster than a Pikmin with just a leaf on its head. Ordinarily, Pikmin leaves become Pikmin flowers if the Pikmin drink nectar, but a flower can naturally grow if Pikmin are left in the ground long enough before being plucked.
