These Pikmin have the strength of 10 Pikmin, making them not only helpful to retrieve objects without using up a large number of Pikmin, but also mandatory for the collection of some treasures that require over 100 Pikmin in strength to pick up. | These Pikmin have the strength of 10 Pikmin, making them not only helpful to retrieve objects without using up a large number of Pikmin, but also mandatory for the collection of some treasures that require over 100 Pikmin in strength to pick up. | ||
In ''Pikmin 2'', when thrown, they will land with a resounding thump, stunning and seriously injuring larger [[Enemy|beasts]] nearby, and fatally injuring smaller, more fragile creatures such as [[Shearwig]]s and [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. In addition, they do not need to be precisely thrown at their target, as a small homing system will swerve the Pikmin's fall and make it land on a nearby enemy. Most enemies have a one in three chance of being stunned, and stay stunned for a full five seconds. Some [[boss]]es are harder to stun, or may not be stunned at all, whereas other enemies might be stunned more or less easily, and for different durations of time. This strong landing destroys [[eggs]] immediately, defeats Mitites in a wide radius, and can instantly deactivate [[fire geyser]]s and [[electrical wire]]s. This, combined with the naturally strong impact damage, makes Purple Pikmin the strongest Pikmin to use in a fight. Because the "thud" counts as an attack, it can be used to damage [[ | In ''Pikmin 2'', when thrown, they will land with a resounding thump, stunning and seriously injuring larger [[Enemy|beasts]] nearby, and fatally injuring smaller, more fragile creatures such as [[Shearwig]]s and [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s.

Because the "thud" counts as an attack, it can be used to damage [[poison emitter]]s and [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, given that although the Pikmin cannot latch on or attack with its stem due to the [[hazard]]s, they can still cause damage, despite being put in risk of death right after. | ||
These Pikmin possess the strange ability to anchor extra-dimensional entities such as the [[Waterwraith]] to the current dimension for a brief period due to the gravitational waves that are emitted when they are thrown. They also do not panic when encountering [[Mitite]]s or hearing the roar of [[Emperor Bulblax]]es. Interestingly, they stay latched on to [[Dwarf Bulborb|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 due to the gravitational waves that are emitted when they are thrown.

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 which they'll pop sooner like [[Ice Pikmin]]. 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. | In ''Pikmin 4'', Purple Pikmin behave similarly to ''Pikmin 3'', but now retain their wind resistance from ''Pikmin 2'', which now extends to bubbles which they'll pop sooner like [[Ice Pikmin]].

On top of this, a purple pikmin does not actually need to perform its slam animation anymore to properly carry out the slam attack, simply latching onto an enemy will damage the enemy in much the same manner. Purple Pikmin have not regained their stun as it appears in ''Pikmin 2'', but there are still cases where a purple pikmin slam can stun enemies; a majority of enemies won't flinch when struck with a purple pikmin's slam, but some enemies such as [[Breadbug|Breadbugs]] or [[Giant Breadbug|Giant Breadbugs]] will perform a special animation if caught in the shockwave where they cease activity momentarily. On top of this, enemies who are stunned from being hit directly from the top such as [[Dwarf Bulbear|Dwarf Bulbears]] or [[Moldy Slooch|Moldy Slooches]] will also be affected in the same way by the shockwaves of a Purple Pikmin. Purple Pikmin are also no longer immune to panic from Mitites or Emperor Bulblaxes. | ||

* There is evidence to suggest that Purple Pikmin were [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|originally planned]] to be black, as them and their internal names are <code>piki_p2_black</code> and <code>BlackPom</code> (with White Pikmin and their Candypop Buds being called <code>piki_p2_white</code><code>WhitePom</code>). Furthermore, the [[Waterwraith]]'s internal name also references this absent color, with <code>BlackMan</code>; upon being struck by a Purple Pikmin, the boss becomes a color reminiscent of their skin, which could imply that it would have also turned black had the Pikmin retained their coloration.
