Purple Pikmin are the second kind of Pikmin discovered, and are found by using the [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s in the last sublevel of the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are needed to carry the [[Spherical Atlas]] in the cave because purples have 10 times the strength of an ordinary Pikmin and the treasure's weight is 101. Their great weight means that they shake the ground upon landing from a throw, which can temporarily stun nearby enemies of most species that are on the ground. Purples are also the strongest type of Pikmin, dealing the most damage in attacking enemies. They possess an advantage over other Pikmin when dealing with some bosses: for example, they can harm [[Giant Breadbug]]s and can make a [[Waterwraith]] vulnerable to attack by any Pikmin. | Purple Pikmin are the second kind of Pikmin discovered, and are found by using the [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s in the last sublevel of the [[Emergence Cave]].

White Pikmin are the third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2. To find the game's first White Pikmin, the player must visit the [[White Flower Garden]] and progress to [[sublevel]] three, where the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s are. The poison clouds produced by poison pipes and [[Doodlebug]]s will cause Pikmin to choke, but White Pikmin are immune. These Pikmin can locate buried items on their own, making them essential for unearthing buried treasure. They are also the fastest of the Pikmin, both in carrying items and keeping up with the player. When eaten by an enemy, they poison the enemy and cause it to lose some health; smaller Bulborbs are killed instantly. | White Pikmin are the third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2.

Bulbmin are the last type of Pikmin you may find. They are found in three caves: [[Submerged Castle]], [[Frontier Cavern]] and [[Hole of Heroes]]. To retrieve small Bulbmin, one must defeat the larger Bulbmin and then call the small ones with a captain's whistle. Bulbmin are immune to all the hazards on the planet except physical threats posed by enemies, but are slower and weaker and can't leave underground areas. They are a good choice to use in Candypop Buds, due to the fact that they don't return above ground with you. | Bulbmin are the last type of Pikmin you may find.
