Plasma Pikmin

"Olimar"

- These Pikmin seem to surge with great energy, just touching them seems to mess up my equipment.

Plasma Pikmin are a a species of Pikmin appearing in Pikmin: Neo. They are light blue Pikmin with jagged stems and a wisp-like appendage instead of feet. They crackle with strange energy resembling plasma hence the name. They first appear in the Plasma Vault, deep in the scorching desert. At first, they can only be bred through the recently discovered Glowing Candypop Buds. When 25 Plasma Pikmin are created you have the option to fuse them and form a single Onion to infinitely breed these creatures. The energy radiating from them disrupts any machinery, allowing them to disable magnets and harm the otherwise unkillable machine enemies. They are also immune to Light-based attacks such as being stunned by bright flashes due to them absorbing the light harmlessly. They are also very fast attackers and uniquely among Pikmin can do double damage under the effects of the Whip seed. However, their energy-like bodies also make them extremely weak to Water as touching the substance will instantly kill them. Still, their strengths surely outweigh their weaknesses and under the right circumstances become extremely useful members of your party.
