Players can unlock the Blue Pikmin variant within Pikmin Bloom. With the Pikmin series, players are able to collect a wide variety of different kinds of Pikmin. Each form comes along with its own ability that makes it stand out. For example, players start their adventures in Pikmin Bloom with Red Pikmin, a species that is known to be immune to fire attacks. As players continue to level up, they will earn access to different seedling types. Players can then plant these and walk a specific number of steps to grow them into a Pikmin. Before players can grow Blue Pikmin, they will need to unlock the seedling first.
In the Pikmin series, Blue Pikmin are able to swim underwater without drowning. This was essential in getting Blue Pikmin in Pikmin 3 Deluxe when certain treasure items were hidden deep within rivers or lakes. All Pikmin types in Pikmin Bloom are unlocked through the same method, and players will need to continue leveling up to access Blue Pikmin.
Pikmin Bloom players will unlock the Blue Seedling once they reach level 7. Each level has two challenges for players to clear and once they are done, the next two challenges will replace them. A majority of these challenges are tied to getting a lot of steps. These are all the challenges needed to unlock the Blue Seeling.
Level Requirements To Unlock Blue Pikmin in Pikmin Bloom
- Level 1: Players start at level 1.
- Level 2: Players will need to complete the tutorial.

Overall, all of these challenges can be completed within a few hours. Once players unlock access to Pikmin Bloom's expeditions, they will be able to send their Pikmin out on trips to secure gifts and treasure. Players can also continue to get more Blue Pikmin seedlings from sending other Pikmin on expeditions. After collecting the Blue Seedling, players will need to place it in a slot and walk 1000 steps for it to grow into a Blue Pikmin.
Currently, all Pikmin pretty much do the same thing except for Purple Pikmin, which has the strength of five Pikmin. Blue Pikmin might have more uses once more content becomes available in Pikmin Bloom. Continue to level up to add more Blue Pikmin to the squad.
Pikmin Bloom is available now on iOS and Android.
