Purple Pikmin can lift ten times as much as other Pikmin types and weigh ten times more; this, it should be noted, renders the windy attacks of the [[Puffy Blowhog]] ineffective. The same applies to the fact that Purples are not affected by [[Mitite]]s or the roar of [[Emperor Bulblax]]es. Their weight, however, slows them down a lot; even with flowers. Purples cannot move as quickly as other Pikmin types, and move even slower when carrying items. This can result in a player accidentally leaving a Purple Pikmin behind, especially with a leaf, while crossing an [[Areas|area]]. Also due to their weight, their throw arcs are very low, and they stop mid-throw to perform a ground pound. | Purple Pikmin can lift ten times as much as other Pikmin types and weigh ten times more; this, it should be noted, renders the windy attacks of the [[Puffy Blowhog]] ineffective.

To compensate, Purple Pikmin are notorious for their effectiveness on the battleground, as when thrown, they will land with a resounding thump, stunning and seriously injuring larger [[Enemy|beasts]], and fatally injuring smaller, more fragile creatures such as [[Shearwig]]s and [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. [[Enemy#Boss|Bosses]] are harder to stun, and require several direct hits to do so. This strong landing destroys [[eggs]] immediately, defeats Mitites in a wide radius, and can instantly deactivate [[hazards#fire|fire]] geysers and [[hazards#electricity|electrical]] nodes. In fights, Purple Pikmin are undoubtedly the strongest. It would also seem that when throwing a Purple Pikmin, as compared to others, it moves substantially faster through the air to its target, at least twice as fast. | To compensate, Purple Pikmin are notorious for their effectiveness on the battleground, as when thrown, they will land with a resounding thump, stunning and seriously injuring larger [[Enemy|beasts]], and fatally injuring smaller, more fragile creatures such as [[Shearwig]]s and [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s.
