Editing Violet Candypop Bud

'''Violet Candypop Buds''' ({{j|ムラサキポンガシグサ|Murasaki Pongashi Gusa|Purple Puffed Grain Weed}}) are purple [[Candypop Bud]]s in {{p2}}. They behave the same as all other Candypop Buds, except when non-Purple [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are [[throw]]n in, they will change into [[Purple Pikmin]]. If Purple Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to the leaf [[maturity]]. These plants are the only way to obtain Purple Pikmin.

The following is a list of all the locations of Violet Candypop Buds in each game. In ''Pikmin 2'', if a player collects five Purple Pikmin from each plant encountered as they go along, without repeating caves, they will be able to nearly reach 100. Growing 100 Purple Pikmin is required to collect the [[Doomsday Apparatus]]. However, if a player wishes to build their number of Purple Pikmin later, choosing the right cave will greatly speed up the process. The [[Subterranean Complex]] is recommended if the player first needs more Pikmin to convert, as [[Queen Candypop Buds]] are present. However, if a player doesn't need or want to grow more Pikmin, such as in a [[101 Pikmin run]], the [[Bulblax Kingdom]] would be the fastest option. To note that many Violet Candypop Buds disappear after the player's total amount of Purple Pikmin has reached 20, as explained [[Candypop Bud#Maximum Pikmin requirement|here]]. Using [[Bulbmin]] is also convenient for growing Purple Pikmin, such as in the [[Submerged Castle]], where Purple Pikmin are needed to defeat the boss – the [[Waterwraith]].
