'''Violet Candypop Buds''' are purple Candypop Buds found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They behave just like any other [[Candypop family|Candypop bud]], but when non-purple [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are [[throw]]n in, they will change into Purple Pikmin. Candypops are the only method of obtaining [[White Pikmin|White]] and [[Purple Pikmin]]. If Purple Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and don't count against the five Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud.

If Purple Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and don't count against the five Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud. This plant is essential to the completion of ''Pikmin 2'', as collecting the heaviest treasure, the [[Doomsday Apparatus]], requires 100 Purple Pikmin.
 
Three Violet Candypop Buds are found on Sublevel 8 of the [[Subterranean Complex]], if the player is in need of more. There are also three in the [[Hole of Beasts]] and two in the [[Emergence Cave]], but two of the ones in the Hole of Beasts disappear after a certain amount of Purples is reached; the pair in Emergence Cave will disappear as soon as 20 Purples have been made. The two on the [[Submerged Castle]] are always there, as they are needed to defeat the boss – the [[Waterwraith]].


This plant reappears in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' but is the rarest Candypop Bud in the game, with a single one being found in [[Mission Mode]]'s [[Thirsty Desert]].

The following is a list of all the locations of Violet Candypop Buds in each game. In ''Pikmin 2'', if a player collects five Purple Pikmin from each plant encountered as they go along, they will be able to nearly reach 100. However, if a player wishes to build their number of Purple Pikmin later, choosing the right cave will greatly speed up the process. [[Subterranean Complex]] is recommended if the player first needs more Pikmin to convert, as [[Queen Candypop Buds]] are present. However, if a player doesn't need or want to grow more Pikmin, such as in a [[103-Pikmin run]], [[Bulblax Kingdom]] would be the fastest option. One should note that many Violet Candypop Buds disappear after the player's total amount of Purples has reached 20. Using [[Bulbmin]] is also convenient for growing purples, such as in [[Submerged Castle]], where Purples are needed to defeat the boss – the [[Waterwraith]].
