This makes them very resistant to the gusts created by aerial blowhogs and the strong wind that blows over its homeland, the Hall of Gales. Because of this ability, they are made extremely difficult to deflower. They are small but nearly as slow as Purple Pikmin so they could be used in jobs meant for whites, even though they lack their speed and poison immunity. They are very useful for carrying items as their extra arms give them the strenghth of two pikmin, and they are a little bit faster than purples.

White Pikmin have red eyes and pink flowers, and are present in Pikmin 2, as well as the alternative game modes of Pikmin 3. They are resistant to poison, are faster than other Pikmin types, can poison enemies upon being eaten, and can dig hidden underground treasures other types cannot see. They are native to caves and do not have an Onion, meaning that they can only be grown by throwing other Pikmin into Candypop Buds.

Winged Pikmin


Winged Pikmin are pink and have wings, blue eyes, and purple flowers. They are present in Pikmin 3 and ''Hey! Pikmin''. They can fly over water and low barriers, allowing them to take shortcuts when carrying, as well as making it harder for enemies to attack them, but their attack strength is lower than other Pikmin types.

Wolf Pikmin


Wolf Pikmin have dark-grey fur with a lighter grey belly, turquoise eyes, and claws that are always unsheathed. Their flower resembles that of a Dogwood Tree's, being white with pink "veins". They also have a dog-like nose and small, pointed ears.

Wood Pikmin
It may burn easily since it is made of wood, but it has the same power as Red Pikmin.

Wraith Pikmin


Wraith Pikmin are the shape of a normal Pikmin but bear a watery, translucent body and have no eyes or defining characteristics other than a stem ending in the traditional leaf, bud, or flower. When commenting on them, rather than the intrigue that they show with most Pikmin, leaders regard Wraith Pikmin with great unease and fear. Thanks to their ghostly presence, Wraith Pikmin are immune to all hazards, get a five point zero attack multiplier, and can even destroy illusions like Black Pikmin can. However, their most powerful ability is to open rifts to other dimensions. These rifts have side-quests in randomly generated, maze-like dungeons, adding replay value to the endgame.

Xmin


Xmin are completely overpowered Pikmin, capable of multiple resistence and stronger than most other pikmin types.

Yellow Pikmin


Yellow Pikmin have large ears and white flowers, and are present in all Pikmin games. They can be thrown higher than other types, but their other unique abilities vary by game. In Pikmin, they are the only type that can carry bomb rocks. In Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and ''Hey! Pikmin, they are resistant to electricity (they can also conduct electricity in Pikmin 3 and Hey! Pikmin''). In Pikmin 3, they can dig faster than most other Pikmin types.

Yellow-Green Pikmin
Regarded as the most intelligent of all the naturally-evolving Pikmin.

Zombie Pikmin
The Zombie Pikmin are grey, with a rotten exterior. Their normal stages of enhancement still apply: Leaf, Bud, and Flower, though the leaf, bud, and flowers are wilting and appear to be dying as a result of their zombification. They turn Pikmin against leaders on contact, spreading the zombie virus. Each Zombie Pikmin has the resistance and voice of their live counterpart, although their voice is low-pitched and distorted.
