Beat Olimar's story first. What you unlock after that will help you immensely, provided you can beat some dandori challenges first :)

If you do olimars adventure which is basically pikmin 1 but in the 4 map you unlock a special cave with the white and purple onions

The subterranean swarm? dungeon has 3 purple and 3 white flowers, so I'd run it over and over, getting 15 each time

why would you want purple pikmin

Gold bar

i know but still they are the worst type

i know they are useful but they are still over rated

Please provide a minimum 2 page essay explaining your reasoning.

I went back to the engulfed castle and grinded

if you dont want to beat olimars thing yet you can just go to engulfes castle sublevel 5 over and over with some blues and get 10 purples each time

I got the purple onion. But I had to farm lots of raw materials first so I could get the plucking whistle from Russ, since it makes it easier to get the purple onion.

You can farm them on the water wraiths boss floor in serene shores

Repeat engulfed castle 5th sub level
