(not an edit, but shouldn't we just use the official renders Pikmin 4 of the pikmin for their respective pages. Plus some of them currently use images that aren't even consistent) |
RayMaikeru (talk | contribs) (As of the release of Pikmin 4, I have been using the Piklopedia to test out Purple Pikmin. The edits I made to the section of Pikmin 4 were the results of my testing of the Purple Pikmin. Against a Female Sheargrub, Purple Pikmin take 3 hits to kill, just like Reds, meaning by latch attack, they deal 1.5x as much. Rock Pikmin take them out in just 1, resulting in them having 2x the attack. When testing the pound attack on a Giant Female Sheargrub, their pound dealt twice as much as Rock Pikmin!) |

In ''Pikmin 3'', however, many of their iconic traits are no longer prevalent. They no longer deal more damage than Red Pikmin, 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. 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. | In ''Pikmin 3'', however, many of their iconic traits are no longer prevalent.

In ''Pikmin 4'', Purple Pikmin behave similarly to ''Pikmin 3'', but now retain their wind resistance from ''Pikmin 2'', which now extends to bubbles. | In ''Pikmin 4'', Purple Pikmin behave similarly to ''Pikmin 3'', but now retain their wind resistance from ''Pikmin 2'', which now extends to bubbles. Although their attack power is kept to 1.5×, making their latched attack equal to Red Pikmin, their pound move is able to deal damage similar to ''Pikmin 2'', dealing nearly twice the amount of damage than [[Rock Pikmin]], meaning their pound attack does about 4× more damage than normal. However their ability to stun enemies upon pound is still removed. Purple Pikmin are also no longer immune to panic from Mitites or Emperor Bulblaxes. | ||
