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!
