(After some discussion, we've decided that since Pikmin 4 and 3 consider all types of Candypop Bud to be the same species, all types of Candypop Bud in those games will be discussed on the same article. Since Pikmin 2 considers different colors different species, Candypop Buds in that game will continue to be covered on separate articles.)

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.

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 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.

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, ''nine'' 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.
