How to get the Blue Onion in Pikmin 4
In Pikmin 4, the Blue Onion is located in Sun-Speckled Terrace. In order to get the Blue Onion free, you will need about 30 Ice Pikmin. These can be found in various other levels, such as the Hectic Hollows, Last Frost Cavern and the Aquiferous Summit.
You will also want to have increased your Pikmin amount to at least 40, with 50 being optimal.
Go to the pond in the south and throw in 30 Ice Pikmin to freeze the water. Throw the remaining Pikmin at the unfinished climbing wall, and they will use the resources to finish building it. At the top, there will be a Fiery Blowhog that you will need to defeat, so be careful.
Once defeated, you can then dig up the Blue Onion, and you can use 20 Pikmin to carry the Onion back to base. Make sure that the water is still frozen. Otherwise, the Blue Onion will just get stuck on the ledge, or fall in the water.
You can then ride Oatchi back to base should you wish, and have him drag the Blue Onion back to base, or you can get your Pikmin to do it, depending on what method you prefer.

How to get the Blue Onion out of the water and unlock Blue Pikmin
If you are unlucky enough to get the Blue Onion stuck in the water, don’t fret. If you ride Oatchi into the water, you’ll see a cutscene where he nearly drowns.
Don’t panic though. After two in-game days, he’ll learn the Doggy Paddle ability. Now that you’ve learned this skill, you can use it to push the Blue Onion back onto land, or you can upgrade Doggy Paddle so that he can carry items whilst swimming, meaning you don’t have to wait around or restart the level.
Now that you have brought your Blue Onion back to base, you will now be able to unlock the Blue Pikmin.
