this is entirely about the upgraded pikmin, but... how do you upgrade them I see you ask? well it's simple. simply feed pikmin the rare mysterious sap!
mall image of the sap
it's a much paler version of nectar as can be seen here, it can appear from eggs at a lower rate than sprays (assuming eggs return) and when a pikmin drinks it, they become more powerful/elemental forms of their previous selves.
Pikmin forms
Red Pikmin -> Fire Pikmin
The fire pikmin is just a red pikmin with bits on fire, this one is a leaf!
The fire pikmin Retain their fire resistance, however they also have a damage over time effect on whoever they hit as well as an immunity to one blow or being eaten, if either happens they are reverted to the same stage of normal pikmin. (being eaten also stuns whoever ate them for a few seconds based on how many were eaten)
Yellow Pikmin -> Voltaic Pikmin
The yellow pikmin grow an LED light on their head somehow (stage is determined by... I don't know, I wasn't decided on stages when I made this one) and is covered by cyan electrical particles.
The yellow pikmin retain their normal resistance and jumping range, but they are now a ranged attacker as they shoot the cyan electrical beams that can chain to other enemies near the target.
Blue pikmin -> Jelly Pikmin
they're mostly liquid in their new form with a lily pad on top, leaves have no flower and buds have a small one.
I... honestly don't know what power these guys could have. I do know they will move faster in the water though.
Purple Pikmin -> Spiny Pikmin
They have a thistle as a flower (this one is a bud) and are covered in spines!
they deal 25 damage on the initial hit (homing) and deal 15 damage every hit afterwards with a secondary attack between each dealing 5. other than that, they have every property that purple pikmin have.
White pikmin -> Toxic Pikmin
they grow a red mushroom as their flower and have a mouth now! that's all I could do...
So, these guys now dig much faster as well as have an area of effect poison spray that deals 10 damage but an additional 5 damage over 3 seconds. if they die however they release a large cloud that deals the same damage as being eaten by a white to nearby enemies.
Winged Pikmin -> Dandelion Pikmin
Leaf pikmin look like unbloomed sunflowers, and buds are bloomed ones the flowers are the puffs.
Now, this is the only thing I could think of, any suggestions for wings are accepted but here is my idea: they attack at range dealing 2 damage per hit to ground enemies and 5 to airborne ones as balance for them being basically unkillable to most ground enemies.
Rock Pikmin -> Crystal Pikmin
The Crystal Pimin have a stained glass flower/leaf/bud and are basically rock pikmin made from the crystals from pikmin 3.
These guys retain the powers of rock pikmin except they're a bit slower and are immune to all hazards (they sink in water with olimar and aren't thrown too far either) this makes them quite useful as they are almost like bulbmin the only downside is their speed being the same as purples.
any additions (fan pikmin, whatever) are welcome! I'll add them at the bottom.
