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 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 | In ''Pikmin 3'', however, many of their iconic traits are no longer prevalent.

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. | ||
