'''Candypop Buds''' are large flowers with fleshy petals and are found in both [[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 counts against this limit, although they will be reverted to leaf Pikmin and planted in the ground.
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.


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

The [[Ivory Candypop Bud|Ivory]] and [[Violet Candypop Bud|Violet]] Candypop Buds will still take only 5 Pikmin before vanishing, but it is currently unknown if this also applies to [[Crimson Candypop Bud|Crimson]], [[Golden Candypop Bud|Golden]], and [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud|Lapis Lazuli]] Candypop Buds as well, or only the Ivory and Violet ones.

A Crimson Candypop Bud appeared above ground during the trailer, and the Ivory and Violet Candypop Buds appeared in the Thirsty Desert mission, available in the E3 2013 demo.
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.)

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"]].
