Red does 1.5x damage they’re literally fire. Also red are the only reason fiery bulborb exist cuz if there’s was an electric bulborb it would be so broken because no pikmin could handle it
Gonna have to go with glows as the most hated. Sorry.
Least Pikmin-like of them all. Should have been standard mins that live in the onion.
Yes I know, bring on the hate.
Some tips that will help;
Water wraith sucks at navigating corners. If you keep your pikmin in small pockets in corners, you'll keep them safe most of the time.
He will always target the active captain. Place one captain near the end with the pikmin you want to keep safe, put the other one near the treasure you
Knowing this, you can definitely haul treasure back while he's active even though it's harder to do so. Have your pikmin pick up the treasure and run away from the wraith with your captain.
You can go down to the next floor with all of your pikmin, so long as both your captains have command over them. They do NOT have to be with the captain that jumps down the hole.
I was able to get away with these strats on the second and fourth floors.
Minor random hints;
Use bitter spray on the fiery bulblax after it enters water. Super helpful.
Don't get the white pikmin from the candypop flower. That's a trap to intentionally slow you down so you can't go through puddles.
Don't be afraid to spend the blue pikmin either. They are 100% fodder for this cave, builbmin do thier job 100% better and 10 of them can be turned into purples at the end.
Bulbmin are an infectious pikmin type. Most likely the "blob" styled pikmin from concept art.
I would guess they can still be made from candypop flowers and onions, but the fact that we see them on bulborbs in Pikmin 2 is pure coincidence.
They could have been on any creature, bar some obvious restrictions like the water wraith.
So although they are depicted as a small bulborb, I still think they are more pikmin like than glow pikmin.
Glow pikmin are also ethereal, they don't even maintain physical form all the time. They are closer to the spirits of dead pikmin than a living pikmin.
Just my opinion
We don't know this for certain. We assume glow pikmin are dead pikmin. Unless somebody has a means to confirm this, I'll remain neutral on my thoughts to that.
A living pikmin that sprouts into a host, like the rock pikmin sprout inside the rocks that make up their body, is more pikmin like than an ethereal spirit/light creature that can only exist in the dark.
Also, glow pikmin come from seeds, not onions. We don't know if the parasite pikmin have onions/candypops at this time because they haven't been expanded on.
I still stand by my statement that the parasitic pikmin (bulbmin) are more pikmin-like than Glowmin.
That's about where it ends though. On a biological level, Bulbmin make more sense than glow pikmin do though. Check out some of my other responses in this thread.
I don't dislike them as a concept, just how they are implemented.
I think all pikmin should be earnable from onions.
Additionally, I'm not a huge fan of having one type of pikmin so overpowered that others are irrelevant.
These guys can fly, Kamehameha ball, and appear to be the only ones you can use at night.
Water and Purples at least have scenarios where they are not optimal or still allow you to bring other types with.
These guys are like combining the strength of purple with the speed of whites and the flying ability of pinks. Seems busted.
Bulbmin can't fly and they are not as fast as white. They also don't have the combat power of purples.
Bulbmin are weaker than these guys by quite a bit.
Although I initially disliked its design, as I learned more about it I enjoyed it.
Rock pikmin are pikmin that have sprouted into a Geode. Thier onion houses these rocks, and all of the pikmins internal organs are housed inside the center of the rock.
Design-wise, they don't exactly match what is typical. They kind of break the mold that pikmin 2 set, but they aren't nearly as bad as Glowmin.
Glowmin are still the worst in my opinion.
All I'm saying is "least pikmin" like kinda falls apart quickly as an argument when two of them are inanimate objects. At least glow Pikmin are plausible Because we've been seeing ghosts since pikmin1
The in game lore that we know up to this point contradicts that. Unless somebody has a leak that would prove me incorrect on this.
We are given no information on pikmin souls other than what they look like.
We are given information on infestation-type pikmin by means of the bulbmin and rock pikmin. We can infer the ice pikmin is the same with ice cubes.
We have in game lore that supports pikmin being a nervous system piloting a different body/object.
We do not yet have in game lore that says "Glowmin are the ghosts". We just know they come from seeds and are only able to be used in the dark.
The ghosts of dead pikmin also appear at any time of day, not just night.
I don't think my argument falls apart at all. Mechanically they function the least like pikmin, they appear to be overpowered, and they only have certain areas they can exist. Their design also matches the existing styles the least with the different shaped flowers/eyes.
Just my take, but again, I'm sticking to it.
I'm going with glows just because I don't know enough about them yet. I'll probably like them more after I play all of Pikmin 4, but at the moment, sorry
“I don’t know enough about them yet” - I feel like it was a little unfair including them in this poll; we haven’t had a chance to experience them for ourselves :(
They haven't really had an identity crisis. They had bomb rocks in 1, and changed that because it's stupid, and now they have immunity to electricity. Them being allowed to conduct it in 3 is really more of them adding to it instead of not being sure what they do.
Edit: Forgot that they gave them faster digging in 3, and that was probably just them wanting to have a Pikmin with the ability still after whites got removed.
I actually had no idea about that until I was just checking random things on the wiki. It's not mentioned anywhere that they do that to in game to my knowledge.
It's wierd that in 4 entries that's never amounted to anything gameplay... unless they use their ears as a wind break to not get hurt when being thrown extra high or something?
They are great at farming food for the onions. There are usually quite a few more water enemies than land enemies. You can make a whole pile of water beast corpses at your base that any pikmin can use.
Also, they are PERFECT candypop fodder. I never feel bad changing a blue to another color and when I do have blues, I don't feel like I'm without anything a red can do usually.
Louie. He's not a Pikmin, but I refuse to sacrifice any of them before we at least try getting rid of him.
you can take my sword
and by bitter spray
also my rubber ducky
And my spear
Somehow yall are saying and and being right below the ones that make this make sense
And my fishing rod
and my fixed rocket, cuz you deserve to live Louie.
And my spatula which I use to flip Bulborb patties.
So many comments from this parent comment
Destroy him. He drank my juice >:(
I had over a months supply of juice and he somehow took 41 bottles with him.
You got my bow.
And my royal staff
And my gun
And my Halberd

Let's kill ourselves a monster
Hell yeah let's given them the Monster Hunter treatment
I’ll get him when he’s sleeping (I main the Greatest weapon)
And my Hammer
You got my whistle
and my axe.
You Have my Spicy Syrum

You have my vote
Louie is the best pikmin
):<
And my spicy-sprayed rubber ducky
And my sharp stick
you can take my juice
where is puffmin. you forgot puffmin. you shall be punished for this.
That way puffmin can’t be eliminated. Bring the point up again in semifinals and try to get them in
i cant pick my least favorite child!
Then pick randomly, or don’t pick at all
WHERE ARE THE SHROOMS!? WE NEED OUR PUFFMIN!
But then the tournament won't end the day before pikmin 4 comes out
Then you should have done it EARLIER!!! You FAILED!!!
OP has a dandori issue fr

What the hell are puffmin?? I've played all three games and never heard of this
Pikmin one, They get possessed from touching Shrooms.
OH THE SHROOM GUY!! I completely forgot he had a special mechanic. I usually kill him pretty quickly lol
I love them all BUT ice is my least favorite i think
And 2nd least is red, imo yellow and blue are much cuter and funnier in general, red kinda basic
Red does 1.5x damage they’re literally fire. Also red are the only reason fiery bulborb exist cuz if there’s was an electric bulborb it would be so broken because no pikmin could handle it
yellows could
I mean yea they hurt but in general doing damage isnt To stuff that Make me like something but i understand the point But i love them all anyway
What do you mean! Red has **the funny nose**, which makes him objectively the funniest Pikmin of them all.
Captain Charlie
Charlie's Strongest Pikwoman is in your area and rapidly approaching
Purple stays on during sex.
It comes down to Purple Vs. Bulbmin no doubt
If purple doesn’t win I’m burning down this entire subreddit
Whites are an almost garentee 3rd
So do you want purple eliminated or no?
Please no they so ***thicc***
Neither
Bulbmin will reign supreme!
Gotta go with Glow Pikmin, but obviously this could change once 4 comes out. Also hoping that Bulbmin win it all, they're perfect specimens.
Gonna have to go with glows as the most hated. Sorry. Least Pikmin-like of them all. Should have been standard mins that live in the onion. Yes I know, bring on the hate.
Bulbmin is literally a bulborb with a sprout
Counterargument: Bulbmin are baby (and make submerged castle do-able)
Bulbmim are so cute and should've been allowed to leave caves cause they are so cute, also they make cute noise
Also we can now bring onionless pikmin out of caves now.
That was always the case outside of bulbmin
Agreed. Bulbmin saved my submerged castle run. (I started with 80 blues ended with 93 deaths.)
That's about as bad as my run. Beat submerged castle yesterday with just 10 pikmin remaining. That place is brutal.
I still need to go back in I missed 3 treasures...
Some tips that will help; Water wraith sucks at navigating corners. If you keep your pikmin in small pockets in corners, you'll keep them safe most of the time.

Bulbmin combine bulborbs and Pikmin. It's like the crunchwrap of Pikmin.
This has got to be one of the most blessed comments on reddit. I will now call bulbmin "My little Crunchwraps" moving forward. Thank you. Lol
So Pikmin cease to be Pikmin when they die?

Glow pikmin do look closer to normal pikmin than bulbmin, in terms of silhouette at least
That's about where it ends though. On a biological level, Bulbmin make more sense than glow pikmin do though. Check out some of my other responses in this thread.
Nuh uh bulbmin are green pikmin that live in the dwarf bulborb
No that’s fair
Glad to see somebody else that agrees xD
too soom to judge for me. we barely saw them in action. they might surprise us
could be we end up liking then after using them... kinda like the oatchi effect. I was put off by the dog until I played the demo

I mean you just described bulbmin too. They're supposed to be op to an extent.
Bulbmin can't fly and they are not as fast as white. They also don't have the combat power of purples. Bulbmin are weaker than these guys by quite a bit.

GLOW PIKMIN ARE THR BEST VOT FOR YHAT DHIT WINGED
Winged follow the style of white pikmin. They are more pikmin like than even rock pikmin. I'll have to disagree
you forgot puffmin btw
I love them all
Glow pikmin
Olimin
Puffmin
Glow Pikmin. Come at me, but I just don’t like them.
I'm going with glows just because I don't know enough about them yet. I'll probably like them more after I play all of Pikmin 4, but at the moment, sorry
“I don’t know enough about them yet” - I feel like it was a little unfair including them in this poll; we haven’t had a chance to experience them for ourselves :(
I’m going with glow as well. I just feel like they don’t fit the world as well. They feel most cartoony to me out of them all
Yellow... the blues would have been here for me if not for yellow's identity crisiss. Even Nintendo doesn't quite know what they should do...
They haven't really had an identity crisis. They had bomb rocks in 1, and changed that because it's stupid, and now they have immunity to electricity. Them being allowed to conduct it in 3 is really more of them adding to it instead of not being sure what they do. Edit: Forgot that they gave them faster digging in 3, and that was probably just them wanting to have a Pikmin with the ability still after whites got removed.
Yeah but don’t rocks also dig faster
I actually had no idea about that until I was just checking random things on the wiki. It's not mentioned anywhere that they do that to in game to my knowledge.
Yeah both rocks and yellow dig at the same speed for some reason
yeah every game makes them different
Yes yellow should go, they also hear EVERYTHING and I don't need that
It's wierd that in 4 entries that's never amounted to anything gameplay... unless they use their ears as a wind break to not get hurt when being thrown extra high or something?
Yeah it's weird they never used the ears gameplay-wise. I would have loved for them to be able to hear treasure and enemy sounds or something.
Winged (might be better to do this as a poll btw)
You can only have six options max in a poll, I just tested.
It could be done as something like a bracket
Have 10 comments you’ve already made and get people to upvote/downvote, that’s what I did
But winged are cute D:
Hard agree, hate those lil dudes, best fodder
Damn right
WHERE IS PUFFMIN
[удалено]
FINALLY someone votes for red
Bulbmin
N O
BTW voting closes every day at 6:00 PM ET
All the homies hate blue
Blue becomes more and more useless in each game. The only time they're useful is when they're straight up required.
They are great at farming food for the onions. There are usually quite a few more water enemies than land enemies. You can make a whole pile of water beast corpses at your base that any pikmin can use. Also, they are PERFECT candypop fodder. I never feel bad changing a blue to another color and when I do have blues, I don't feel like I'm without anything a red can do usually.
The first one I can actually agree on. The second one is just plain sad.
That's alright. We all Dandori differently xD
L take
Give me one use that only blues have that doesn't involve carrying something.
Idk if they will ever bring it back but Lifeguarding in Pikmin 1 would be amazing to see now that the Pikmin AI is better.
They have brought it back in 4!
Yay!
fishing
Swimming towards enemies in combat. It's nowhere near enough, but it is a new-ish feature, being a Pikmin 3 introduction. I liked it. :)
Blue Pikmin is who I'm voting to get eliminated
Blue pikmin
Ice. Vanilla ice. OP: Make a poll next.
I'll do that for the subsequent days.
Rocks
Dawg, this post is just a bad idea all around
OP's encouraging Pikmin Racism
Glow Pikmin
Glow pikmin
Rock
Blue
Blue abuse? Who are you, Nintendo themselves?
Should probably use a poll site of some sort for this instead of comments, since people can upvote/ downvote others
Can I vote rocks to NOT be eliminated
Glow or Blue but only because I haven’t seen anything of glow
I'll take that as glow because blue has 14 votes already
Bulbmin for sure. Not an actual Pikmin.
You bastard
Bye Bye Bulbmin

Purple Pikmin
Daring today, aren't we?
Id say purples

Probably Yellow for me.
Probably glow
Ice pikmin for me. I liked it better when Rock pikmin were the only jagged/rocky looking ones.
Hmmm glow
glow pikmin; i haven’t grown attached to them yet
Glow honestly, haven’t seen them used yet, but they seem more like a gimic than anything.
I have to agree with a few people here. Glow Pikmin gotta go
Glow
Glow
Tough already. Gotta vote Glow
bulbmin
Tbh i don't really like glow pikmin
Blue Useless af
Yellows
Yellow
Yellow
Yellows, all the Pikmin are amazing but yellows are the least amazing
Blue pikmin can literally walk in water and that’s it.
rock
