These Pikmin possess the strange ability to anchor extra-dimensional entities such as the [[Waterwraith]] to the current dimension for a brief period, although this has never been explained in detail. They also do not panic when encountering [[Mitite]]s or hearing the roar of [[Emperor Bulblax]]es. Interestingly, they stay latched on to [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, and other similar enemies, if they are thrown on top, and only let go when the enemy's death animation is over. | These Pikmin possess the strange ability to anchor extra-dimensional entities such as the [[Waterwraith]] to the current dimension for a brief period, although this has never been explained in detail.

In ''Pikmin 3'', however, many of their iconic traits are no longer prevalent. They no longer have any attack buffs, nor do they stun enemies on impact. Despite this, they still stop to perform a pound move even though it does no extra damage. In addition, they have a slight delay when thrown to latch onto enemies after their "ground pound", as if they are waiting for a non-existent stun. They also lost their wind resistance as proven by the [[Puffy Blowhog]] in [[Twilight Hollow]] and can no longer instantly weigh down airborne enemies as confirmed with the same creature. These changes turned what once were great fighters into more of a nuisance. Also, because no enemies are able to scatter Pikmin like the Mitites, it is unknown if they are still immune to panic fits. As a result, the main use for Purple Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'' is purely for carrying purposes. Interestingly, while White Pikmin are not immune to ink in ''Pikmin 3'', Purple Pikmin seem to be immune to it. {{cite youtube|0Nqxy7-KN_s|demonstrating how Purple Pikmin seem to resist to the ink. The same thing was done with White Pikmin, and the latter did get inked}} | In ''Pikmin 3'', however, many of their iconic traits are no longer prevalent.

Although that could be because their "ground pound" delays their fall and prevents them from getting to deep in the water. {{cite youtube|0Nqxy7-KN_s|demonstrating how Purple Pikmin seem to resist to the ink.
