In Pikmin 1, Candypop Buds are flowers. If you throw a Pikmin into a Candypop Bud, they turn into the Pikmin color that is the color of the flower (Red, yellow, or blue) You can only throw in 10 at a time, and when you throw in about fifty or so Pikmin, they will die.
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.

In Pikmin 2, they are similar to most of the Candypop Buds in Pikmin 1, but now there are many of them everywhere, but now they die after '''5''' Pikmin are thrown into them (Red, yellow, blue, purple, or white). They are the only way to obtain [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] or [[White Pikmin]]. Also in Pikmin 2, there are [[Queen Candypop Buds]]; if one Pikmin is thrown in 9 (you gain eight) red, yellow, or blue Pikmin (depending on when you throw them in) come out. In this game, the individual Candypop Buds were really named, instead of each one being called a Candypop Bud.
