Pikmin Overgrowth Timeline
Black Pikmin can see in the dark. They are 0.6x times as strong as a normal Pikmin, they are also very fast.

Eduardog's Version
To tame a group of Black Pikmin, you must kill their Captain first, which is as well a Black Pikmin (given the Blacks' natural abilities to be a Pikmin Captain). The Captain is distinguishable as the flowered one behind the other Blacks (who will be attacking your Pikmin) and using it's flower as a natural whistle. There are many groups of Black Pikmin without Onions, when you do find a Black Onion, it will have a larger group of Black Pikmin around it. If you send one of your Black Pikmin Captains to a Black Pikmin Captain with less Pikmin than your Black Pikmin Captain, that group will join you. But if that group has more Pikmin than your Black Pikmin Captain, then they will attack your Pikmin.

Creation
Black Pikmin were created from red pikmin eating parasitic mushrooms (Blue glowing mushrooms) and were infected by the parasites, the "Black Pikmin" then began repopulating and making real Black Pikmin, the parasites then left the red pikmins' bodies, leaving them to discover the new parasitic pikmin.

Discovery
In 3914, Olimar discovered these pikmin in a cavern (later named "Black Pikmin Cave") and discovered their abilities. he later used the black pikmin to defeat the Black Widowmaker, freeing his son. in the Oldest Tree, Olimar and his family use the pikmin to brave the challanges and find the final piece, a map piece for the universe from PNF-404 to hocotate. when they finish the final day, blasting off and watching the pikmin fight and die, Olimar feels sad seeing them die.

Rediscovery
On September 1st, 3914, a group of remaining black pikmin look outside to see a ship (The S.S Drake) land, the kopians are shocked to see parasitic bulborbs and black pikmin, along with purple and white pikmin. they later collect juice and leave the planet with the black pikmin for research. later, it is revealed they are descendants of parasites, and as such, have parasitic abilities.

Olimar's notes

 * "The black Pikmin is one of the most complex and mysterious species of Pikmin. It sports two beady, yellow eyes, along with its small, black body, which it can move swiftly. It can generate a shroud of electromagnetic energy to create a stealth field powerful enough to cover twenty Pikmin or so. Black Pikmin are feeble enough to not give other creatures or Pikmin a powerful electric jolt. This being said, however, the electromagnetic field is not without its faults: it appears to be active all the time, yet works most effectively in the shadows; it appears that the ultraviolet rays emitted from the sun interrupt the field, making it unable to function properly. In the shadows or at night, the field works flawlessly, only being interrupted by powerful jolts or disruptions such as being knocked over, exposure to certain pitches of sound, and an intense spike in adrenaline. Therefore, it may be gathered that maintaining this stealth field could possibly be a somewhat voluntary action since the field is disrupted when the Pikmin is distracted. Also, the electromagnetic field does not block strong currents of electricity. This merits further research."

In KirbyRider's game
Black Pikmin are Pikmin that, like Purple Pikmin, suffer from any hazard. However, when an enemy tries to get it off, the Pikmin will stay on because of the Pikmin's claws. They come from Onyx Candypop Buds. They come in handy with arachnorbs and large grub-dogs. At sunset, they can camouflage in the dark and ambush enemies by latching on to them. If it's a Gatling Groink, a Bulbearmin, or a Spotty Bulbear, then that enemy will be shown with the Black Pikmin the next time that area is visited. Other enemies' bodies will be shown near the site.

In Pikmin: Rise of the Plantae
Black Pikmin always appear as if they are emerging from a vortex-like shadow beneath their feet. Black Pikmin are as fast as White Pikmin and, also like White Pikmin, have an effect on an enemy that ate one. Enemies that eat a Black Pikmin can either be stunned for sixty seconds when in a cave or for the rest of the day if outside. If that particular enemy is not sent into an Onion by the time the effect wears off, it will resume its normal behavior but with a Pikmin stem sprouting from it. The fate of the enemy depends upon the statuses of the Onions; if a Black Onion is created, the enemy will go in there. Otherwise, the enemy will enter the Onion containing the most Pikmin. While stunned, if that enemy is sent into an Onion that isn't the Black Onion, it will produce the same amount of Pikmin and the Black Pikmin will be produced again. If the enemy goes into an Onion while not stunned, it will produce one extra Pikmin seed corresponding to the color of the Onion it entered. The Black Pikmin that was sacrificed will not be produced again, however. If the enemy enters the Black Onion, a Bulbmin will be produced.

In Pikmin 3 (Flish Edition)
Black Pikmin are a new type of Pikmin in Pikmin 3 (Flish Edition). They are immune to the dangerous black spores created by some paranormal enemies. Like electricity, these spores kill other Pikmin instantly, but, like poison, do not affect leaders. Black Pikmin have neon green eyebrows and can fight paranormal enemies.

In Pikmin Chronicles
Black Pikmin are Pikmin that are said to appear in Pikmin Chronicles. They are the result of Pikmin being exposed to the radiation that is spread later in the story of the game. Black Pikmin are the very last Pikmin encountered. They appear to have smaller heads, a horn-like protrusion on either side of their heads and appear to have angry-looking eyes, which glow yellow. Their angry-looking eyes are actually just the result of their horns growing in front of their eyes, which makes them look angry.

Black Pikmin are the only types of Pikmin that can vanquish dark enemies. They are also capable of killing Waterwraiths just like Purple Pikmin can. If a Black Pikmin is eaten, the beast that ate it will melt. Black Pikmin can clone themselves but will be cloned as seeds, with the location having an effect on their cloning. They are very hard to handle.
