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.
'''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. 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]]. 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.


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.

Scientific name: ''Flora expellus''
 
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.)

Scientific name: ''Bulbus lillium''


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.{{clear}}
A Flarlic resembles a colorless [[Onion]]. If carried to the Onion, 10 more Pikmin will be allowed out in the field, unless the limit of 100 has already been reached.

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.{{clear}}

Violet Candypop Buds spit out [[Purple Pikmin|purple]] seeds when Pikmin are tossed in. This Candypop Bud makes its first appearance in ''Pikmin 2'', and is the only way to obtain Purple Pikmin. Many Violet Candypop Buds and Queen Candypop Buds can be found on sublevel 8 of the [[Subterranean Complex]], making it the ideal location for growing more Purple Pikmin.

Scientific name: ''Lillium pikminporta''
 
Onions are large and round life forms that act as nests for the Pikmin. They allow leaders to store and retrieve Pikmin, as well as spitting out new Pikmin seeds. Additionally, starting in ''Pikmin 3'', Onions of different types are capable of merging together.


Ivory Candypop Buds produce [[White Pikmin]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. This Candypop can only be seen in ''Pikmin 2'' and is the only method of obtaining White Pikmin. Many Ivory Candypop Buds are found in the [[White Flower Garden]] on Sublevel 3 when you have 15 or fewer Whites, and on Sublevels 3 and 4 of the Subterranean Complex.

Coal Candypop Buds produce [[Rock Pikmin]] seeds.
Scientific name: ''Flora regina''


=== Coral 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''.

Violet Candypop Buds produce [[Purple Pikmin]] seeds. This name is only used in ''Pikmin 2'', where this species is the only way of obtaining Purple Pikmin.


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']].

==Trivia==
== Naming ==
[[File:Candypop Bud root.jpg|thumb|right|A misplaced Candypop Bud in [[tuto2#teki5|teki5]], showing the root.]]
The family's name is the combination of the words "{{w|candy}}", given their intense colors, and "pop", referring to the way Candypop Buds spit out Pikmin seeds.
* 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.
