Purple Pikmin: Difference between revisions

|carry = 10 units}}'''Purple Pikmin''' are the second Pikmin type found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and are confirmed to appear in'' [[Pikmin 3]]''. They are first found in the [[Emergence Cave]]. These Pikmin are very strong due to their weight and are the most durable out of all the Pikmin. They are specifically required to obtain a number of treasures, two of which are needed to gain access to new areas, making them necessary to complete the game. While it is possible to clear the debt in the first area, this takes a substantial amount of time to finish, as eventually the only form of income that remains are enemy corpses. Purple Pikmin share a number of similarities with [[White Pikmin]]. Firstly, they can only be obtained via certain [[Candypop Bud]]s, in this case [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s, and have magenta flowers rather than white, due to the variety of [[Sutera cordata|Sutera Cordata]]. In addition, at the [[End of Day|end of each day]], they are stored in the ship; as opposed to an [[Onion]]. Purple Pikmin are the heaviest Pikmin known, as well as the slowest and strongest. They are the hardest species to grow and it is often hard to not lose any in zero-death runs.
