Crystal Pikmin

The Crystal Pikmin is not actually a type of Pikmin, but is what the main character becomes in Pikmin: Redemption after they get all of the Pikmin powers. It is gained by finding he Morphing Candypop Bud and jumping into it. It is a clear, crystalline Pikmin with a green leaf or white petals on its bud or flower. If light were to shine on a Crystal Pikmin, all the other colors of the rainbow, or in this case, the colors of the Pikmin in Pikmin: Redemption, would shine from the other side. As special as the Crystal Pikmin appears, it has no outstanding abilities outside of using its flower to blind enemies temporarily or activate certain switches. As Pikmin types can still be switched between, there is no need to worry about not being able to go back.

In Pikmin 5: Adventure Awaits
Crystal Pikmin appear in Pikmin 5: Adventure Awaits as the twelth Pikmin type to be discovered. Their Onion is initially found trapped in an Arachnode's web, and freeing it will allow access to Crystal Pikmin. Crystal Pikmin are resistant to hallucinations.

In Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds

Ultima Pikmin have the same appearance as they do in Pikmin: Redemption, but have a nose, mouth-gills, and ears.

Although a maximum of twenty-five Ultima Pikmin may exist at a time, there is a way around it. On the fifth visit to the Chasm of Challenges, when twenty Ultima Pikmin are in one's possession, throw only four Pikmin into the Power Candypop Bud. Only twenty-four Ultima Pikmin will be in existence, but they will contribute to having twenty-nine of them. When the one hundred first sublevel is visited, a Power Candypop Bud will be there. Transforming five Pikmin will result in there being twenty-nine Ultima Pikmin in existence.
