'''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.
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

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.)

'''Crimson Candypop Buds''' are red [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Candypop_Bud Candypop Buds] found in all three [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_(series) ''Pikmin'' games]. When non-red Pikmin are thrown in, they will change into Red Pikmin. If [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Pikmin Red Pikmin] are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and don't count against the 5 Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud (which only applies to ''Pikmin 2''). In ''Pikmin'', this bud could be used up to 50 times to get massive amounts of Red Pikmin, but Red Pikmin themselves '''do''' count against the limit.

''"No matter what color Pikmin is tossed into the bosom of this flower, it spits out the same number of red Pikmin seeds. The Pikmin, the candypop flowers, and the Pikmin Onions are not easily explained by current theories of the xenobotanical sciences, and thus have not yet been appropriately studied and classified."''

[[Queen Candypop Bud]]s 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"]].

=== Winged Candypop Bud ===
Queen Candypop Buds are unique in the Candypop family. Their petals are white with colored spots which cycle between red, yellow, and blue. When a Pikmin of any type is tossed in, 9 seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving players an eight-Pikmin gain. After the seeds are ejected, the Queen Candypop Bud wilts. 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''.

* 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.

* In ''Pikmin 3'', the Candypop Buds also recieve a more mechanical look, although not as much as the [[Onion]]s.
* 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.
