'''Purple Pikmin''' are found in [[Pikmin 2]] and and are first found in the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are specifically required to obtain three treasures, two of which are needed to obtain new areas. Purple Pikmin are not found in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]]. Purples can lift ten times as much as their smaller cousins and weigh ten times more (which, it should be noted, renders the windy attacks of the [[Puffy Blowhog]] ineffective). Their weight, however, slows them down significantly: even with flowers, Purples can run half as fast as others, and one-fifth as fast as Whites, and move even slower when carrying items. This forces the player to backtrack and find them, and it can be even harder during sundown. Also due to their weight, they have a low arc when thrown: when a Pikmin is thrown, they fly up in an arc and land back down on either a creature or the ground. When Purples are thrown, their arcs are very low, and even worse so is that they stop halfway to perform a ground pound.

Purple Pikmin are notorious for their effectiveness on the battleground, as when thrown, they will land with a resounding thump, stunning and seriously injuring larger beasts, and fatally injuring smaller, more fragile creatures, such as Shearwigs and Dwarf Bulborbs. Bosses are harder to stun, and require several direct hits to do so. In fights, Purple Pikmin are the strongest, though it can be argued that Reds are stronger as their attacks grow exponentially. It should also be noted that if Purple Pikmin are thrown rapidly onto active Fire Geysers, the geyser should be deactivated in a matter of a couple seconds.

==100 Purples==
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 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]].
