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.
Three Violet Candypop Buds are found on Sublevel 8 of the Subterranean Complex, if the player is in need of more. There are also three in the Hole of Beasts and two in the Emergence Cave, but two of the ones in the Hole of Beasts disappear after a certain amount of Purples is reached; the pair in Emergence Cave will disappear as soon as 20 Purples have been made. The two on the Submerged Castle are always there, as they are needed to defeat the boss – the Waterwraith.
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.
