Purple Pikmin: Difference between revisions

Purple Pikmin can lift ten times as much as other Pikmin types and weigh ten times more. Due to their weight, they cannot be knocked back by windy attacks from [[Blowhog Family|Blowhogs]], or explosions from [[Gatling Groink]]s (they still may die from the latter, however.) Purples are not affected by the roars of [[Emperor Bulblax]]es or the odors of [[Mitite]]s, either. Their weight, however, slows them down; even with flowers. Purples can run only half as quickly as Red, Blue and Yellow Pikmin, and one-fifth as fast as whites; furthermore, they move even ''slower'' when carrying items. This can result in a player accidentally leaving a Purple Pikmin behind, especially with a leaf, while crossing an [[Pikmin areas|area]]. Also due to their weight, their throw arcs are very low, and they stop mid-throw to perform a ground pound. In addition, unlike the other Pikmin species found in the game, Purple Pikmin do not have an immunity to any hazards, possibly due to their advantage of being able to deal more damage and lift more than other Pikmin; however, they also have increased resistance to wind.
