Raw material are collectible items that appear as light-blue pebbles. They are mainly found in piles, but can also be found from destroying obstacles, defeating certain enemies, or digging in dirt mounds. To collect them, they must be carried to the ship, with each Pikmin carrying one raw material. If not enough Pikmin are sent to carry all the raw material, they will walk back and forth between it and the ship until no more remain, upon which the involved Pikmin will wait at the ship.
Raw material can be used to obtain certain upgrades and items. However, their most important use may be converting them into clay for use in building structures, namely bridges, mounds, climbing walls, and valves, with one clump of clay being made from one raw material. When ordered to work on one of these structures, a Pikmin will travel to the ship, which will dispense a piece of clay for the Pikmin to use.

Blue sparklium is a currency appearing in Pikmin 2... Again?. They were first added in The Amazing New Update!!, alongside the customization as a permanent feature. Blue sparklium resembles the normal sparklium, being a generic, four-pointed sparkle, however, it is blue rather than yellow. Blue sparklium is earned in much more amounts than sparklium, and are much easier to obtain. Blue sparklium is earned by completing days in story mode and Meadow of Memory, beat Timed Mode stages depending on the rank the player gets, and earning achievements. Blue sparklium is used to buy customizations, more notably palettes, soundtracks, and Pikmin and leader reskins. Blue sparklium does not appears in-game, neither it is used, but rather appears in the main menu and customization main menu. Notably there are two reskins with a odd number, a negative number, there is no way the player can obtain this specific amount. However, they have to do the following steps:
- Step 1: find Blower Pot in The Amazing New Update!!.
- Step 2: throw 66 Walking Golden Pikpik Carrots into it, causing a rainbow to come out of Blower Pot.
- Step 3: throw another Walking Golden Pikpik Carrot into it, causing the rainbow to turn red.
- Step 4: then throw yet another Walking Golden Pikpik Carrot into the red rainbow, making it to turn red.
- Step 5: Make the Walking Ruby Pikpik Carrot to be killed, which a red sparklium will appear from it.
After all those steps are done, the blue sparklium counter will turn red and the icon, and now there having a minus on the end of the number, after this, the player can buy two skins with this price, the Error_Pikmin, Error_Captain, Boloroborp, and Piglin. Once all are bought, the blue sparklium meter will turn back to normal with a light appearing on it for some seconds.

In Pikmin: Antarctic Survival, raw material appears in the form of "chunks" of light-blue clay, which vary in size and therefore weight. Raw material chunks are the most common resource to be found when a creature is exploring an area, and can vary in size from small pebbles of clay with a carry weight of only one to massive slabs of clay which are larger than most boss creatures and have a carry weight of three hundred. Raw material cannot be used for buildings and other construction projects until it is carried back to the Diamond Settlement, at which point it will be broken up into individual pebbles of raw material similar to the ones in Pikmin 4. Larger chunks of raw material convert into more raw material resource pieces, but the ratio is not one-to-one. While smaller chunks with a carry weight of one or two yield raw material pieces equivalent to their weights, larger chunks experience "diminishing returns" and give a lower overall fraction of raw material pieces. A table has been compiled of all raw material chunk resource yields, as well as the yields of other resources.
Raw material is primarily used for the construction of buildings, but most buildings do not use raw material directly, instead making use of bricks, which many creatures can craft using raw material. Raw material is also used as a crafting material for a few other resources, such as insulated wiring and batteries.
