'''Purple Pikmin''' ({{j|紫ピクミン|Murasaki Pikumin}}) are a type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in {{p2}}, {{p4}}, {{pb}}, and non-story game modes in {{p3}}. They are the second type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in ''Pikmin 2'', the first of which are found in the [[Emergence Cave]]. Their most noteworthy characteristics are their massive weight and [[carrying]] strength – 10 times those of a regular Pikmin. They are also slower than normal, and have a unique way of attacking enemies in ''Pikmin 2'' through a pound. They are specifically required to obtain a number of [[treasure]]s, two of which are needed to gain access to new [[area]]s, making them necessary to complete the game.

Purple Pikmin share a number of similarities with [[White Pikmin]]. At first, they can only be harvested through their [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s, and these are only found in various caves. Purple Pikmin do not have an [[Onion]] of their own, as they can only be harvested only through Violet Candypop buds, in certain underground areas. Their buds and flowers are magenta rather than white. In addition, at the [[Day#Sunset|end of each day]] in Pikmin 2, they are stored in the [[Hocotate ship]], since they do not have an [[Onion]] of their own. In Pikmin 4, they are stored in the Onion with the rest of the Pikmin. In addition, for the first time in the series, they can be mass-produced with an Onion, unlocked by completing the final floor of the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]]. | Purple Pikmin share a number of similarities with [[White Pikmin]].

Purple Pikmin weigh ten times as much as a regular Pikmin, making them useful for puzzles like [[seesaw blocks]]. As a result of their weight, they are [[throw]]n at a lower arc, and are not knocked back by the windy attacks of the [[Puffy Blowhog|Puffy]] or [[Withering Blowhog]]. Their weight also helps them keep themselves upright, and prevents them from tripping quite as often as other Pikmin types,<ref>[[User:Mariotime315/Pikmyths#Purple Pikmin trip less often|Fan-driven research]]</ref> and in Pikmin 4, keep them from being caught by bubbles. Some airborne enemies can be weighed down with a certain number of Pikmin, and Purples count as 10 for this purpose as well. This means that enemies that fall with a weight of 10 Pikmin on them can be brought down with a single Purple Pikmin. | Purple Pikmin weigh ten times as much as a regular Pikmin, making them useful for puzzles like [[seesaw blocks]].

When Olimar and Louie venture into the [[Emergence Cave]], they see the [[Spherical Atlas|top half of a globe]], but it requires more than [[Pikmin limit|100 Pikmin]] to lift – it needs 101. They venture further through the cave, and find a pair of [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s. After throwing some Red Pikmin in them, they discover the Purple Pikmin, which they then learn are fierce fighters and can carry 10 times their weight, allowing them to retrieve the otherwise "unliftable" treasure. | Purples are only truly "discovered" in ''Pikmin 2''.

Retrieval of the [[Doomsday Apparatus]] treasure in ''Pikmin 2'' requires the use of 100 [[Purple Pikmin]]. The best place to get so many would be the [[Subterranean Complex]]. Take a single Pikmin into that cave and skip through the sublevels until you reach the eighth one, with an [[Geyser|exit geyser]], Candypop Buds and some [[eggs]].

Use the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s first and the [[Violet Candypop Buds]] after to produce 15 Purple Pikmin and 2 [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]] or [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Or, if you are also trying to increase your [[White Pikmin]] count, bring 21 Pikmin and throw 20 of them into the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s on floors 3 and 4 to gain 20. When you reach the 7th floor, throw the last non-White Pikmin into the Queen Candypop Buds first and the Violet Candypop Buds after to produce 15 Purple Pikmin and 2 of the primary type of Pikmin. | ||

Purple Pikmin can first be found in the [[Engulfed Castle]], with their Candypop Bud appearing right before the Waterwraith's arena. In addition, they also have an Onion of their own for the first time in the series. This Onion can be unlocked in the tenth sublevel of the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]] by carrying it back to the [[S.S. Beagle]] within the time limit, upon which it will be fused with the main Onion upon returning to the surface. | |||

**{{icon|Waterwraith|y|v=P4}}: The creature is initially invulnerable and can only be made vulnerable through the stomp of a Purple Pikmin. However, if the Waterwraith is somehow elevated - such as, for example, attempting to roll over a treasure or another Waterwraith - it can be frozen through use of an [[Ice Blast|ice blast]], which will cause it to plummet to the ground, instantly shattering and killing it. | **{{icon|Waterwraith|y|v=P4}}: The creature is initially invulnerable and can only be made vulnerable through the stomp of a Purple Pikmin.

Purple Pikmin fight alongside Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] | Purple Pikmin fight alongside Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], as well as having trophies and a Spirit based on them. Here, they have the shortest throw distance and the smallest grab range. When thrown at an enemy, rather than latching on, Purples will deliver a blow with knockback, stopping the opponent in their tracks. They are the most durable Pikmin of all and deliver the highest amount of knockback in Olimar's smashes and aerial attacks. Purple Pikmin are also the only Pikmin that will be plucked by Olimar in Home-Run Contest. They also appear as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] in ''Brawl''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Purple Pikmin Spirit will increase the fighters weight. | ||
