To obtain a Blue Pikmin, players need to reach a specific location in the game and find the corresponding Onion. Onions are colorful structures that serve as the home for some Pikmin. Almost every type of Pikmin has its own Onion, and the blue Pikmin is no exception.

So first, to unlock Blue Pikmin, players need to unlock Yellow Pikmin. After that, in Awakening Wood, gamers will find an electrified gate that has to be destroyed. To accomplish this, players have to throw the Yellow Pikmin on the rock and take a detour into the water. But they must be careful because the entrance to this gate is guarded by enemies.

Behind this gate, players will find Blue Pikmin and their Blue Onion. This is expected to happen on the fifth day, but if the player is slow, they may find them later. Right next to the Blue Onion, gamers will find flowers with blue centers that will bring them even more Blue Pikmin when they are delivered to the Blue Onion. Also, to increase their population, players can bring dead enemies to the Blue Onion.
