'''Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds''' are blue [[Candypop Bud]]s found in both [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. When [[Pikmin family|non-blue Pikmin]] are [[throw]]n in, they will change into blue Pikmin. If [[Blue 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 (game)|Pikmin]]'', this bud could be used up to 50 times to get massive amounts of blue Pikmin, but blue Pikmin themselves '''do''' count against the limit. It is named after a semi-precious dark blue mineral called [[Wikipedia:Lapis Lazuli|Lapis Lazuli]]. Finding them can generally be taken as an indication that one or more bodies of water is found nearby or ahead.

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are blue Candypop Buds found in all Pikmin games. Their name is derived from a semi-precious dark blue mineral called Lapis Lazuli. The buds are usually found in close proximity to water and are used to change non-blue Pikmin into Blue Pikmin. Any Blue Pikmin thrown in will revert to leaf Pikmin while retaining their original typing. Pikmin features a 50 Pikmin limit per Blue Candypop Bud where Pikmin of the same type as the bud count towards the limit. This feature was changed in subsequent Pikmin titles which feature a five Pikmin limit per bud and where Pikmin of the same type as the bud do not count towards the limit.

Notes

Olimar's notes

No matter what color Pikmin is tossed into the bosom of this flower, it spits out the same number of blue Pikmin. This family of plant boasts soft, fleshy leaves, the sinewy tendrils of which allow the flower to open and close repeatedly over the course of a day.

Louie's notes

This flower's tough texture makes it unsuitable for salads, but its bright blue hue makes for a grandiose garnish!
