Crystal Pikmin

Appearance
This is not actually a type of pikmin, rather it is what the main character is after he gets all of the pikmin powers. You become a clear pikmin with a normal flower(white colored). If light were to shine on you all the other colors of the rainbow (or in this case the colors of the pikmin in PR) would shine from the other side.

Abilities
This type of pikmin is really just a color change with no amazing powers. Through your flower you can use light to blind enemies for a few seconds and activate certain switches. You can still switch colors to gain that color's ability, so you don't have to worry about not being able to go back.

Location
You gain the Crystal Pikmin after finding the Morphing Candypop Bud and jumping into it.

In Pikmin:Gold/Silver/Bronze
The Crystal Pikmin is very much the same in Pikmin: Gold/Silver/Bronze as it is in Redemption. You can get this pikmin at the end of the game, but only when you beat the final boss at the end of the game. There is a certain cheat that you must follow to obtain it. It a rumored to be that way... but it MAY be just a rumor...
