Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds (ルリポンガシグサ?, lit.: "Lapis Lazuli Puffed Grain Weed") are blue Candypop Buds in Pikmin 2. They behave the same as all other Candypop Buds, except when non-Blue Pikmin are thrown in, they will change into Blue Pikmin. If Blue Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to the leaf maturity. These plants are usually found in close proximity to water, and finding them can generally be taken as an indication that Blue Pikmin will be needed.
They technically do appear in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, but all Candypop Buds are merged into one in those games, meaning they are just different variants of the same plant rather than separate species of the Candypop family.
Locations[edit]
- Frontier Cavern: One on sublevel 5 (Bulbmin available).
- Snagret Hole: Three on sublevel 6.
