In ''Pikmin 2'', if a player collects five Purple Pikmin from each plant encountered as they go along, they will be able to nearly reach 100.

Violet Candypop Buds are purple Candypop Buds found in Pikmin 2. They behave just like any other Candypop bud, but when non-purple Pikmin are thrown in, they will change into Purple Pikmin. Candypops are the only method of obtaining White and Purple Pikmin. If Purple Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and don't count against the five Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud. This plant is essential to the completion of Pikmin 2, as collecting the heaviest treasure, the Doomsday Apparatus, requires 100 Purple Pikmin.
This plant reappears in Pikmin 3 but is the rarest Candypop Bud in the game, with a single one being found in Mission Mode's Thirsty Desert.

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, they will be able to nearly reach 100. However, if a player wishes to build their number of Purple Pikmin later, choosing the right cave will greatly speed up the process. 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 103-Pikmin run, Bulblax Kingdom would be the fastest option. One should note that many Violet Candypop Buds disappear after the player's total amount of Purples has reached 20. Using Bulbmin is also convenient for growing purples, such as in Submerged Castle, where Purples are needed to defeat the boss – the Waterwraith.
