Plasma Pikmin are a species of Pikmin appearing in Pikmin: Neo. They are light blue Pikmin with jagged stems and a wispy 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 at least twenty-five Plasma Pikmin are created, they can be brought to the Plasm Vault and fused into the Plasma Onion. The energy radiating from them disrupts any machinery, allowing them to disable magnes and harm otherwise unkillable mechanical 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, inflict 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 instantly kills them. Still, their strengths vastly outweigh their weaknesses and under the right circumstances, they can be extremely useful members of any squad.
