Purple Pikmin

Purple Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2 and and are first found in the Emergence Cave. They are specifically required to obtain a number of treasures, two of which are needed to gain access to new areas, making them absolutely necessary for the game's completion. Like the White Pikmin, they can only be obtained via certain Candypop Buds, in this case the Violet Candypop Buds, and have pink flowers rather than white. Neither they nor White Pikmin are found in Pikmin 1.

This Pikmin is the best for Killing enemies, because they do alot of damage when they are thrown on. They are big and Stocky, the yare also the only Pikmin with hair.
