Green Pikmin (acid-resistant)

Green Pikmin are Pikmin that are resistant to acid and its effects. Their characteristics, appearance, and other traits vary from game to game.

Yoshord's notes

 * "Despite water and life existing, which would indicate that at least some hydrogen ions are floating about, it seems there is only one kind of acid native to the Pikmin Planet: some type of copper solution. The Green Pikmin's skin contains these acids when it is most stable, and this gives it its green color and makes its skin immune to such acids. As with any other liquid, the copper acid can contain gaseous solutes, and the Pikmin has gills, so it can survive being submerged in the copper acid. Green Pikmin are as susceptible to acetic acid as any other Pikmin. This was discovered by accident, of course."

In Pikmin 4 (Salem version)
Green Pikmin appear in Pikmin 4 (Salem version) as an acid-resistant Pikmin. Pikmin can be thrown into an Emerald Candypop Bud to turn them into Green Pikmin.

In Pikmin 5: New World
Green Pikmin are the third Pikmin species that is discovered in Pikmin 5: New World. They are resistant to acid, which leaders can also become resistant to by obtaining the Burn-Proof Suit upgrade. Green Pikmin have a tail that has a leaf, bud, or flower on the end of it like their stem does. Green Pikmin also attack with their tail. Although Green Pikmin have their own Onion, more can be made using a Jade Candypop Bud.

In Pikmin: Adventure of Four
In Pikmin: Adventure of Four, Green Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin that is discovered. They are fast, like a White Pikmin, and are resistant to acid. They have blade-like arms that make them strong in battle, but also make carrying objects difficult. Because of this, their carrying capacity is one-half.

In Pikmin: Adventures of Olimar
Green Pikmin in Pikmin: Adventures of Olimar have a long, distinctive tail and are discovered in Wandering Woods. They are resistant to acid, a hazard that can instantly dissolve other types Pikmin upon contact. Because of this, Green Pikmin can be used to best even the mighty Acidic Emperor Bulblax.

In Pikmin: The After Years
Green Pikmin are the fourth discovered Pikmin type in Pikmin: The After Years. They are resistant to acid and are found in the Relentless Spring.

In Pikmin: Back in Action
Green Pikmin in Pikmin: Back in Action can be thrown very far and are resistant to both acid and swampland.

In Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds
Green Pikmin in Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds are acid-resistant Pikmin that are discovered at the Shimmering Lake, the fifth area in the game. At first, they can only be obtained from Leafy Candypop Buds, but an Onion Seed can eventually be found and used to grow the Green Onion.

In Pikmin: Koppai Invasion
In Pikmin: Koppai Invasion, Green Pikmin are resistant to acid and any kind of poison, including heavy poison. As stated by Alph, Green Pikmin have overprotective skin.

In Pikmin: Redemption
In Pikmin: Redemption, Green Pikmin make a cameo appearance as guards in the Pikmin Temple. They retain their acid resistance and can also use bomb rocks, marking their transition into becoming Bomb rock Pikmin.

In Pikmin: The Rising Darkness
Green Pikmin in Pikmin: The Rising Darkness are the second Pikmin type discovered, and are found in a small alcove in the Noxious Swamp. They retain their resistance to acid and can destroy acid geysers.

In Pikmin: Shadow Planet
In Pikmin: Shadow Planet, Green Pikmin have gills on either side of their head instead of on the front and are resistant to acid. They are the eighth Pikmin type discovered, found in the Poison Swamp.

In Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator
Green Pikmin are the final type of Pikmin encountered in Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator. They are found aboveground, in the Ancient Wetland. They are the only new Pikmin in the game that have an Onion, which can be reached once Blue Pikmin are discovered. These Pikmin have but one ability, but it is very useful: they can resist acid. Acid is visually distinct from poison since acid appears as a green liquid and poison appears as a red gas. Upon closer examination, Green Pikmin have gills similar to those of Blue Pikmin, but they serve to filter acid when submerged in acid. Green Pikmin cannot survive underwater and will drown when exposed to it.

In Pikmin: Wide World
Green Pikmin are a new species of Pikmin discovered in Ancient Metalworks. They are immune to corrosive acid and can swim in it, but they cannot breathe in it as they lack gills. Some enemies utilize acid to attack others or defend themselves, and pools of acidic water can be found in Ancient Metalworks and Endless Sea. Green Pikmin have an average attack power, average mobility, average digging speed, and average throw distance. A Green Pikmin's defining features are its mouth-like facial structure, tail, and white flower. The voice of a Green Pikmin is more distorted-sounding than that of other Pikmin. Green Pikmin are hypothesized to be a mutated relative of Blue Pikmin that can survive exposure to acidic substances rather than basic substances, at the cost of their gills. Although Green Pikmin have their respective Onion, they can also be created by throwing Pikmin into a Demantoid Candypop Bud.

Much like how Blue Pikmin will attempt to save other-colored Pikmin that are drowning in bodies of water, Green Pikmin will attempt to save Pikmin that find themselves in a pool of acidic water.

In Pikmin SP
Green Pikmin in Pikmin SP are resistant to acid and swampland and are found in Dim Jungle, in a pool of acidic water behind a Sticky Bulblax. Green Pikmin are green in appearance, have a blue flower, and are the size of a normal Pikmin. They have mouth-like gills just as Blue Pikmin do. They are not immune to regular water, however. Green Pikmin have an Onion, but more can be made underground using Emerald Candypop Buds. They can be thrown almost as high as a Yellow Pikmin.

In Pikspore
PS undefined

Green Pikmin appear in Pikspore and are encountered in Altitude Springs. They retain their acid resistance and are useful for defeating enemies such as Jungle Bulborbs. They have two long antenna-gills instead of mouth-like gills.

In KirbyRider's game
The Green Pikmin is an acid-resistant Pikmin that looks like a Blue Pikmin, but is green, and its yellow-green gill-mouth forms a smile instead of a frown. They can drown in water.
