| | 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''' ({{j|ポンガシグサ|Pongashi Gusa|Puffed Grain Weed}}) are large flowers with fleshy petals and are found in all mainline [[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 the flower's petals. These new Pikmin are born in the leaf [[Maturity|stage]]. The Candypop Buds expel the seeds after five Pikmin are thrown in, or a few seconds after the first throw; the exception being the [[Queen Candypop Bud]], which does so after the first Pikmin is thrown.
| |
|
| |
|
| In {{p1}}, Candypops can transition up to 10 Pikmin in one load, and will wither after 50 Pikmin are thrown in. Both of these numbers were reduced to 5 in the [[Pikmin 2|second]] game, and in most cases in the [[Pikmin 3|third]] game: [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]] found in the [[Twilight River Remix]] can transform up to 10 Pikmin. In ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', using Pikmin of the same type as the flower does not count against this limit, although they will still be reverted to leaf Pikmin and planted in the ground. In ''Pikmin'', [[Yellow Pikmin]] holding bomb-rocks will not be taken in by Candypop Buds, merely sliding off the top; the same will happen to thrown [[leader]]s in ''Pikmin 3''. However, in ''Pikmin 3'', if a Pikmin holding a [[bomb rock]] is thrown in a Candypop Bud, it will extend upwards before wilting away, killing the Pikmin with it without leaving a [[soul]] behind.

| In {{p2}}, Candypop Buds are never found above ground and only appear in [[cave]]s, where they will respawn when the cave is reentered. In some caves, Violet Candypop Buds and Ivory Candypop Buds will only appear if the player has less than a certain number of Pikmin. To unlock a Candypop Bud's entry in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], the player must throw at least one Pikmin inside and wait for a seed to be spat out.

| In {{p3}} they have a different appearance, consisting of a large bucket-like cup in the middle of the flower, most likely as a "target" for leaders to aim Pikmin at. They also behave slightly differently, as they are always closed, opening only when a leader is nearby, and when they wither, their roots remain in place. Also, if two players throw Pikmin in a Candypop Bud at the same moment in [[Bingo Battle]], the Candypop Bud will spit out seeds for both teams, depending on the number of Pikmin that were thrown in by each of them.

| | 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.) |

| When Pikmin are tossed into a Crimson Candypop Bud, an equal number of [[Red Pikmin]] seeds are spat out. These plants are generally not needed with good planning, but they are more useful if one is far from the [[Onion]]s and has a small number of Red Pikmin on hand.

| Golden Candypop Buds release [[Yellow Pikmin]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. While large numbers of Yellow Pikmin are not often needed, use of the Golden Candypop Bud is required to obtain the [[Chronos Reactor]] in ''Pikmin''. This particular Candypop Bud is very rare in ''Pikmin 2'', making only one appearance inside the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] on sublevel 3. In ''Pikmin 3'', Golden Candypop Buds often appear near electrodes.

| Gray Candypop Buds spit out [[Rock Pikmin]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. Gray Candypop Buds are uncommon in Story Mode, but a cluster of four appears in the southernmost region of the [[Tropical Wilds]], in an arena with a [[Calcified Crushblat]]. Since only Blue Pikmin and Winged Pikmin can reach the arena, and Rock Pikmin are the best type to defeat the enemy, these candypop buds are useful.

| Violet Candypop Buds spit out [[Purple Pikmin]] seeds when Pikmin are tossed in. This Candypop Bud 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.

|
| == Maximum Pikmin requirement ==
| | Scientific name: ''Flora puniceus'' |
| Some [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s and [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s will only appear if the player has less than 20 of the equivalent Pikmin type. If the player has 20 or more of that Pikmin type, the Candypop Bud will not spawn, and no other object will take its place. This can be seen, for instance, in the second sublevel of the [[Citadel of Spiders]]: the Violet Candypop Bud always appears in dead ends, and if the player is over the maximum Pikmin requirements, there will be an empty dead end in the sublevel.
| |
|
| |
|
| Interestingly, only the Pikmin inside the cave and the Pikmin inside the [[Hocotate ship]] count toward this limit. This means that Pikmin sprouts in an overworld [[area]], including the area the cave is in, will not count. The game will only check for the requirement at the start of the sublevel.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| The following sublevels have Candypop Buds that do not appear if the player has 20 or more of the equivalent Pikmin type:
| | {{clear}} |
| * [[Violet Candypop Bud]]:
| |
| ** [[Emergence Cave]], sublevel 2
| |
| ** [[Frontier Cavern]], sublevel 1
| |
| ** [[Hole of Beasts]], sublevel 2
| |
| ** [[Citadel of Spiders]], sublevel 2
| |
| ** [[Glutton's Kitchen]], sublevel 2
| |
| ** [[Shower Room]], sublevel 2
| |
| * [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]:
| |
| ** [[White Flower Garden]], sublevel 3
| |
| ** [[Bulblax Kingdom]], sublevel 1
| |
| ** [[Snagret Hole]], sublevel 2
| |
| ** [[Shower Room]], sublevel 1
| |
| | |
| Since the only Candypop Buds affected by this are in early sublevels, this limit likely exists to stop players from easily obtaining a large number of Purple Pikmin or White Pikmin by repeatedly entering and leaving the same cave.
| |
| | |
| == Pikmin discovery requirement ==
| |
| In general, Candypop Buds of a specific type will not spawn unless the corresponding Pikmin type has been discovered. In ''Pikmin'', it is possible to go to [[The Forest Navel]] and [[The Distant Spring]] without discovering Yellow Pikmin or Blue Pikmin, and this causes the Golden Candypop Buds or the Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds, respectively, to not spawn. Similarly, in ''Pikmin 3'', Candypop Buds will not spawn if their respective type of Pikmin has not been discovered.{{cite youtube|mxE34YGA7Yc|showing that Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds do not spawn in Tropical Wilds before Blue Pikmin are discovered}}
| |
| | |
| However, there are some exceptions in ''Pikmin 2''. Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin are discovered after throwing Pikmin inside of a Violet Candypop Bud and an Ivory Candypop Bud, respectively. Therefore, the game must spawn Violet Candypop Buds in [[Emergence Cave]] sublevel 2 before Purple Pikmin are discovered and Ivory Candypop Buds in [[White Flower Garden]] sublevel 3 before White Pikmin are discovered. For some reason, if the player skips discovering Purple Pikmin in Emergence Cave by utilizing glitches, then other Violet Candypop Buds will still spawn.{{cite youtube|E2khRpMt3Zo|about how to skip discovering Purple Pikmin in Emergence Cave, and the consequences|m=7|s=20}} If it were possible to never encounter Red Pikmin, Crimson Candypop Buds would also still appear. On the other hand, until White Pikmin are discovered, the only Ivory Candypop Buds to spawn are the [[White Flower Garden]] sublevel 3 ones.

| == Relations to the Pikmin family ==
| |
| Olimar notes in the [[enemy reel]] that Candypop Buds could be the next step in Pikmin evolution,{{cite quote|{{Notes:Candypop family/reel}}|Captain Olimar|the [[enemy reel]] entry for the Candypop Buds.}} and in his [[Olimar's notes|Piklopedia notes]] that Candypops could be the same species.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Queen Candypop Bud/olimar}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's notes]] for the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]}} This theory is further cemented by the fact that Candypop Buds occasionally emit the same sparkles that come from the top of Onions, use similar sounds to the Pikmin,{{cite youtube|V5x2Y5dbf9Q|about sound effect trivia in the series|m=1|s=4}} and the buds in ''Pikmin 3'' use the same texture for leaves as the Pikmin do.

Members[edit]
Candypop Bud[edit]
- Main article: Candypop Bud.
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.)
Crimson Candypop Bud[edit]
- Main article: Crimson Candypop Bud.
Scientific name: Flora rufusia
Crimson Candypop Buds produce Red Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2.
Flarlic[edit]
- Main article: Flarlic.
Scientific name: Bulbus lillium
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 Bud[edit]
- Main article: Golden Candypop Bud.
Scientific name: Flora aurumia
Golden Candypop Buds produce Yellow Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2.
Ivory Candypop Bud[edit]
- Main article: Ivory Candypop Bud.
Scientific name: Flora niveus
Ivory Candypop Buds produce White Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2, where this species is the only way of obtaining White Pikmin.
Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud[edit]
- Main article: Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud.
Scientific name: Flora cobaltium
Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds produce Blue Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2.
- Main article: Onion.
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.
Queen Candypop Bud[edit]
- Main article: Queen Candypop Bud.
Scientific name: Flora regina
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 sublevels of caves, to let the player increase their Pikmin population. They only appear in Pikmin 2.
Violet Candypop Bud[edit]
- Main article: Violet Candypop Bud.
Scientific name: Flora puniceus
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.
The family's name is the combination of the words "candy", given their intense colors, and "pop", referring to the way Candypop Buds spit out Pikmin seeds.
