The '''candypop family''' is a family of plants in the {{ps}}. Initially, the family consisted only of [[Candypop Bud]]s, but from ''Pikmin 4'' onward, other important gameplay plants were identified as being part of the family as well.
{{todo|Check if Candypops in ''Pikmin 3'' remain open if a Pikmin is nearby.}}
'''Candypop Buds''' are large flowers with fleshy petals and are found in all three [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are tossed into these gigantic blossoms, they spit out new Pikmin seeds which match the color of their petals. These new Pikmin are born in the leaf [[Pikmin family#Stages|stage]]. The Candypop Buds expel the seeds after five Pikmin are thrown in, or a few seconds after the first throw (the exception being the [[Queen Candypop Bud]], which does so after the first Pikmin is thrown).


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]] and [[Pikmin 3|third]] games. Using Pikmin of the same type as the flower does not count against this limit, although they will be reverted to leaf Pikmin and planted in the ground. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they have a different appearance, consisting of a large bucket-like cup in the middle of the flower, most likely as a "target" for captains to aim Pikmin at. They also behave differently, as they are always closed, opening only when a leader is nearby, and when they wither, their roots remain in place.

This theory is further cemented by the fact that Candypop Buds occasionally emit the same sparkles that come from the top of Onions.

When Pikmin are tossed into a Candypop Bud, Pikmin of the same color are shot back out, allowing Pikmin to be converted between types. There are 8 colors of Candypop Bud, each corresponding to a type of Pikmin. (In ''Pikmin 2'', different colors of Candypop Buds are considered different species, while in ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', all colors are considered the same species.)

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.

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 unfathomably rare in ''Pikmin 2'', making only one appearance inside the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] on Sublevel 3. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Golden Candypop Buds often appear near electrodes.

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 type 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']].

Queen Candypop Buds are unique in the Candypop family. Their petals are white with colored spots which cycle between red, yellow, and blue.

These flowers are generally found in [[rest sublevel]]s of caves, to let the player increase their Pikmin population. They only appear in ''Pikmin 2''.

==Trivia==

[[File:Candypop Bud root.jpg|thumb|right|A misplaced Candypop Bud in [[tuto2#teki5|teki5]], showing the root.]]
* 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. It is possible to notice that it has a green root. There are also several Candypop Buds in Sublevel 6 of [[Bulblax Kingdom]]. Here, if the [[camera]] is zoomed in, and if the Candypop Bud is distant enough, the root might be visible.
* In ''Pikmin'', [[Yellow Pikmin]] holding bomb-rocks will not be taken in by Candypop Buds, merely sliding off the top; the same will happen to thrown [[leader]]s in ''Pikmin 3''. However, in ''Pikmin 3'', if a Pikmin holding a bomb-rock is thrown in, the flower with take it in and explode, killing both the plant and the Pikmin.

* In ''Pikmin 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Japanese guide book, the colors used to describe the pink and rock Candypop Buds translate roughly to "Slate" and "Amaranth", respectively. Slate is a dark gray, polished substance, while amaranth is a plant that has pinkish flowers. Despite this distinction of color, no [[Region|version]] of ''Pikmin 3'' makes no distinction of names, and the new Candypop Buds were not given any official name in any dialect, to date.
*In Pikmin 3, Candypop Buds are close even when Pikmin are near it. But they are open if a [[leader]] is near it enough.
