In Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet
Blue Pikmin are the fourth variety of Pikmin to be discovered in Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet. They are discovered in the Stagnant Sea, where they are most useful as most of the land in this area is flooded with water. Thanks to their mouth-shaped gills and amphibious nature, they can traverse pools of water with ease. They can also rescue drowning Pikmin by throwing them onto nearby dry land.

Blue Pikmin have larger mouths compared to other Pikmin, so much so that it's their defining feature. These mouths allow them to take in water and filter it through gills located on their cheeks, allowing them to survive both on land and in water. This makes Blue Pikmin the only Pikmin that can retrieve items submerged in water, as all other types flail around before drowning in bodies of water. Blue Pikmin are more vulnerable to frost and the cold and will begin to wilt in the cold sooner than other types.

Blue Pikmin are the most balanced out of all of the other types, making them not stand out anywhere in particular in doing tasks that other Pikmin can do just as well or better. However, their water resistance makes them valuable for retrieving objects submerged underwater, as without them certain objects are impossible to obtain. This resistance becomes even more crucial to during rainy days.

They can swim, allowing them to swim up into areas above or attack enemies higher up in the water, in which then they act more like aquatic Winged Pikmin while swimming. These Pikmin can also throw drowning Pikmin that are nearby, which they will only do if they're either idling or are commanded to do so. Their petals have a white color to them. Additionally, Blue Pikmin are thirty-three millimeters tall and have a carrying capacity of spray while under the effects of ultra-sour spray.

When a Blue Pikmin reaches a drowning Pikmin, they will throw them to dry land, even carrying them close enough to shore before throwing them if necessary. Blue Pikmin can also swim underwater, but they usually only do so either when in pursuit of an underwater enemy or if the leader they are following is swimming.
