Editing Candypop family

'''Candypop Buds''' are large flowers with fleshy petals and are found in all three [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. When [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] are tossed into these gigantic blossoms, they spit out new Pikmin seeds which match the color of their petals. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Candypops will wither after 50 Pikmin are thrown in, but this number was reduced to 5 in the [[Pikmin 2|second game]], likely due to the 2 new species. Using Pikmin of the same color as the flower will not count against this limit, although they will be reverted to leaf Pikmin and planted in the ground. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they have a new look.

Olimar notes in a [[Olimar's Notes|journal entry]] state that Candypop Buds could be the next step in Pikmin evolution, and in another that Candypops could be the same species. This theory is further cemented by the fact that Candypop Buds occasionally emit the same sparkles that come from the top of Onions

==Notes==
===Ship Log's===
''"When I throw Pikmin into this flower, they are popped right back out. I have named this very peculiar bloom the candypop bud. It's strange... No matter what color Pikmin I throw in, the ones that pop out match the flower's color." ''
===Mission Mode Tip===
''"Throw Pikmin into a Candypop Bud to turn them into sprouts that are the same color as the flower!"''
==Species==
=== Crimson Candypop Bud ===
[[Image:Crimsoncandypopbud.jpg|left|150px]]{{main|Crimson Candypop Bud}}

When Pikmin are tossed into a Crimson Candypop Bud, an equal number of [[Red Pikmin]] seeds are spat out. Proper planning lessens the need for these flowers, but they are more useful if you are far from the [[Onion]]s and have a small number of Red Pikmin on hand.{{clear}}

===Golden Candypop Bud===
[[Image:Goldencandypop.jpg|left|150px]]{{main|Golden Candypop Bud}}

Golden Candypop Buds release [[Yellow Pikmin|yellow]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. While large numbers of Yellow Pikmin are not often needed, use of the Golden Candypop is required to obtain the [[Chronos Reactor]] in ''Pikmin''. This particular Candypop Bud is rare in ''Pikmin 2'', making only one appearance inside the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] on Sublevel 3.{{clear}}

===Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud===
[[Image:Lapislazulicandypop.jpg|left|150px]]{{main|Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud}}

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds produce [[Blue Pikmin]] seeds. They're particularly useful if you have a small number of Blues on hand and need to carry a heavy object across a lake.{{clear}}

===Violet Candypop Bud===
[[Image:Violetcandypop.jpg|left|130px]]{{main|Violet Candypop Bud}}

Violet Candypop Buds spit out [[Purple Pikmin|purple]] seeds when Pikmin are tossed in. This Candypop Bud makes its first appearance in ''Pikmin 2'', and is the only way to obtain Purple Pikmin. Many Violet Candypop Buds and Queen Candypop Buds can be found on sublevel 8 of the [[Subterranean Complex]], making it the ideal location for growing more Purple Pikmin.


===Ivory Candypop Bud===
[[Image:Ivorycandypop.jpg|left|150px]]{{main|Ivory Candypop Bud}}

[[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s produce [[White Pikmin]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. This Candypop can only be seen in ''Pikmin 2'' and is the only method of obtaining White Pikmin. Many Ivory Candypop Buds are found in the [[White Flower Garden]] on Sublevel 3 when you have 15 or fewer Whites, and on Sublevels 3 and 4 of the Subterranean Complex.

=== Queen Candypop Bud ===
[[Image:Queencandypop.jpg|left|150px]]{{main|Queen Candypop Bud}}

Queen Candypop Buds are very unique Candypops. Their petals are white with colored spots which flash from red, to yellow, to blue, and back to red. When a Pikmin of any color is tossed in, ''nine'' seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving you an eight-Pikmin gain. These flowers are found only in the specific sublevels of difficult caves, usually after a grueling battle with a boss, sometimes referred to as [[Rest sublevel|"rest stops"]].

==Trivia==

* While candypop buds in German are called "Königinblume" (Queen flower), the [[Queen Candypop Bud]] is called "Kaiserinblume" (Empress flower).
* In Sublevel 5 of [[Glutton's Kitchen]], a [[Queen Candypop Bud]] may fall from the ceiling. If you look closely, you can see that it has a green root. There are also several Candypop Buds in Sublevel 6 of [[Bulblax Kingdom]]. Here, if you go into close-up view, and if the Candypop Bud is distant enough, you may see a root.
* Yellow Pikmin holding bomb-rocks cannot be thrown into Candypop Buds.
* Like the [[Creature Montage]] notes said, the candypop buds could be the next step in pikmin evolution.
* In Pikmin 3, the Candypop Buds also recieve a more mechanical look, although not as much as the Onions.
* In [[Pikmin 3]], if a [[captain]] enters the vicinity of a Candypop Bud, it will open, and when they leave it will close once again.
* Thrown [[captains]] will simply slide off of the Candypop Buds.
* The roots of vanished Candypop Buds remain in [[Pikmin 3]], while they never have in previous games.
