'''Candypop Buds''' are large flowers with fleshy petals and are found in both [[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]]. Using Pikmin of the same color as the flower does not count against this limit, although they will be reverted to leaf Pikmin and planted in the ground.

'''Wogpoles''' are enemies in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They resemble [[Wikipedia:tadpole|tadpoles]] in appearance, and are in fact the larval form of the frog-like [[Amphituber|Wollywogs]]. In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], they only appear in the [[The Forest of Hope]] and [[The Distant Spring]] areas. They are typically a hard-to-get, low-reward enemy in that they are fast swimmers which only give out one [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] seed when carried to the [[Onion]]. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Wogpoles are found in the [[Awakening Wood]] (being chased by your newly discovered [[Blue Pikmin]]) and the [[Perplexing Pool]], as well as the sublevels of certain [[cave]]s where they have a measly treasure value of one [[poko]]. While being chased, Wogpoles may sometimes accidentally beach themselves, flopping about helplessly until they land safely back in the water. They may also drop from the ceiling. As a side note, the Wogpoles in ''Pikmin'' seem to be closer to maturation than those in ''Pikmin 2'', as the legs near their tails are present.


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.
These creatures are called Wolpoles in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]''.

==Killing Strategy==
Although they constantly swim away from captains, Wogpoles will occasionally stop for a few seconds when only chased by Pikmin, giving the Pikmin a chance to attack. Wogpoles themselves can't attack, but they can cause flower Pikmin to lose their petals when they shake the predators off. Since they only yield one Pikmin seed when retrieved, they're almost always more trouble than they're worth.

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}}

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.

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.

=== Queen Candypop Bud ===
[[Image:Queencandypop.jpg|left|150px]]{{main|Queen Candypop Bud}}
 
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 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']].
 
==Trivia==
* 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. If you look closely, you can see that it has a green root. There are also several Candypop Buds in Sublevel 6 of Bulblax Kingdom. Here, if you go into close-up view, and if the Candypop Bud is distant enough, you may see a root.

Wogpoles are enemies in the Pikmin games. They resemble tadpoles in appearance, and are in fact the larval form of the frog-like Wollywogs. In Pikmin, they only appear in the The Forest of Hope and The Distant Spring areas. They are typically a hard-to-get, low-reward enemy in that they are fast swimmers which only give out one Pikmin seed when carried to the Onion. In Pikmin 2, Wogpoles are found in the Awakening Wood (being chased by your newly discovered Blue Pikmin) and the Perplexing Pool, as well as the sublevels of certain caves where they have a measly treasure value of one poko. While being chased, Wogpoles may sometimes accidentally beach themselves, flopping about helplessly until they land safely back in the water. They may also drop from the ceiling. As a side note, the Wogpoles in Pikmin seem to be closer to maturation than those in Pikmin 2, as the legs near their tails are present.

These creatures are called Wolpoles in New Play Control! Pikmin 2.
