Obtaining Purple Pikmin
Similar to White Pikmin, Purple Pikmin can only be obtained by throwing other types of Pikmin into a Candypop Bud; in the Purple Pikmin's case, the player must throw non-purple Pikmin into a Violet Candypop Bud. Two Candypop Buds are found in the Emergence Cave, but they disappear after a certain amount of times used. Purples are vital for carrying heavy loads so collect plenty of them. A good strategy is to enter the Subterranean Complex with one Pikmin. On the eighth sublevel, throw the Pikmin into theQueen Candypop Buds, then throw them into the Violet Candypop Buds. If done correctly, you should have 15 Purple Pikmin. This is handy for obtaining the 100 Purple Pikmin required to collect the Doomsday Apparatus in the Wistful Wild .

Brawl Trophy
NOTE: This Pikmin trophy is the rarest one, meaning the Purple Pikmin trophy is the hardest one to get in the Coin Launcher or SSE.
A type of Pikmin, much heavier and slower than other Pikmin. When thrown, they impact with such force that they may kill or stun enemies. They're also incredibly strong--one of them can carry an item that normally would require ten Pikmin. While they're more powerful fighters than their red cousins, their slow speed hampers their effectiveness.
