Orange Pikmin appear in Pikmin 251 as small, orange, blast-resistant Pikmin that are characterized by their red eyes and the small, brown, turtle-like shell on their back. Overall, they resemble orange-colored White Pikmin. They are found only in caves, by throwing Pikmin into a Scarlet Candypop Bud. Up to five can be obtained this way, as the candypop bud will wilt and disappear after it spits out its fifth Orange Pikmin seed. Like Bulbmin, Orange Pikmin cannot be brought to the surface, and will instead remain by the base of the escape geyser, watching the leaders and their Pikmin go on without them. Orange Pikmin are most useful in bomb rock-rich sublevels, or in sublevels that are infested by Careening Dirigibugs and Volatile Dweevils due to their resistance to the main hazard those enemies utilize to attack. Because they cannot be brought to the surface, Orange Pikmin should be thrown into other candypop buds before the cave is exited, as to avoid losing Pikmin. Their first use is in the Abandoned Toybox, to clear the only blast pipes encountered during the entire main story.

Internally, Orange Pikmin are actually pikpik carrots that were programmed to function as and look like a Pikmin. This can be seen when selecting them, and throwing pikpik carrots in the Piklopedia, and would explain why they cannot be brought to the surface during gameplay.
