Purple Pikmin

Purple Pikmin are a new species of Pikmin introduced in Pikmin 2, along with White Pikmin and Bulbmin. They are the second species of Pikmin to appear in Pikmin 2. Unlike the Red Pikmin, whom are stored in the Red Onion, Purple Pikmin are stored in the ship, as they have no Onion.

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. Three 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.

Brawl Trophy

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.
