Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are blue Candypop Buds found in both Pikmin games. When non-blue Pikmin are thrown 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, 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 Lapis Lazuli. Finding them can generally be taken as an indication that one or more bodies of water is found nearby or ahead. In the Piklopedia at night, these candypop buds seem to glow slightly.

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!”
