'''Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds''' ({{j|ルリポンガシグサ|Ruri Pongashi Gusa|Lapis Lazuli Puffed Grain Weed}}) are blue Candypop Buds found in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They behave the same way as all other [[Candypop family|Candypop Buds]], except they change non-blue [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] into [[Blue Pikmin]]. Their name is derived from a semi-precious dark blue mineral called {{w|lapis lazuli}}. The buds are usually found in close proximity to water, and finding them can generally be taken as an indication that Blue Pikmin will be needed. Any Blue Pikmin thrown in will revert to [[Maturity|leaf Pikmin]] while retaining their original type. ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' features a 50 Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud where Pikmin of the same type as the bud count towards the limit. This feature was changed in subsequent Pikmin titles which feature a five Pikmin limit per bud and where Pikmin of the same type as the bud do not count towards the limit. Interestingly, the Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds found in the Twilight River Remix can each produce 10 Pikmin, instead of 5.

==Trivia==
* In ''Pikmin'', if the player manages to get to The Distant Spring without unlocking Blue Pikmin, the two Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds in the area will never appear, preventing the player from transforming Pikmin into Blue Pikmin without having activated the Blue Onion.
