''"This spicy flower combusts upon contact with the tongue. Keep fire-retardant condiments within arm's reach!"''

''"Toss 5 Pikmin of any color into this flower, and it will produce five Red Pikmin sprouts."''

This particular Candypop Bud is the rarest kind in ''[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_2 Pikmin 2]'', as only one is found, inside the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Glutton%27s_Kitchen Glutton's Kitchen] on Sublevel 3.

''"No matter what color Pikmin is tossed into the bosom of this flower, it spits out the same number of yellow Pikmin seeds. Current research has yet to produce any theories as to precisely what kind of interaction causes the Pikmin to change color to match the color of this flower's petals."''

''"This tart flower's acidic juices can burn a hole through a frying pan. Eating it would be unwise."''

''"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."''

''"This flower's tough texture makes it unsuitable for salads, but its bright blue hue makes for a grandiose garnish!"''

''"This Candypop bud is a sign that water is near. It creates Blue Pikmin."''

In ''Pikmin 3'' they are simply called "Candypop Buds".

''"Research from our most recent expedition has confirmed the presence of candypop buds in subterranean regions. Considering the micro-ecologies this plant has been found in, one could surmise that it could be found in any cavern, regardless of geographic region. Tossing Pikmin into this flower results in the release of purple Pikmin seeds, regardless of the color of the Pikmin tossed in. This variety of candypop contains robustly odoriferous oils. If candypop flowers could be cultivated, there is no doubt that the plants would offer multifaceted benefits to the cosmetic, medical, and tourist industries."''

''"This convenient purple flower secretes a dark, flavorful oil that eliminates the need for salad dressing!"''

''"The most use Candypop Bud turns Pikmin weaklings into powerful Purples. Don't pass up an oppritunity to add to your Purple population."''

In ''Pikmin 3 ''they are simply called "Candypop buds".

''"Research from our most recent expedition has confirmed the presence of candypop buds in subterranean regions. Considering the micro-ecologies this plant has been found in, one could surmise that it could be found in any cavern, regardless of geographic regions. Tossing Pikmin into this flower always produces white Pikmin seeds, regardless of the color of Pikmin tossed in. In many cases, plants with small leaves typically have limited photosynthetic capabilities, and thus must find alternate means of obtaining nutrients, with parasitic and predatory behavior being most common. The candypop could be considered one such example."''

''"This elusive flower spoils within seconds of picking, making it unsuitable for cooking."''

''"The only way to get White Pikmin on your squad is to use an Ivory Candypop Bud. One bud produces up to 5 pale sprouts."''

Queen Candypop Buds are far more common in ''Pikmin 2'''s [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Challenge_Mode_(Pikmin_2) Challenge Mode] than in the main game, mostly appearing where the player starts off with very few Pikmin, such as [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Breeding_Ground Breeding Ground], [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Hot_House Hot House], and [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_Garden Hidden Garden].

''"This specimen constantly changes colors. When Pikmin are thrown into it, it shoots out seeds that match the flower's coloration the moment the Pikmin landed inside of it. The number of seeds shot out is always greater than the number of Pikmin thrown in. It can be said that this is a completely baffling plant, and many mysteries remain over precisely what sort of relationship it has with the Pikmin. It would appear that the Pikmin gain all of the benefit from the relationship... Perhaps it is simply a different variety of Pikmin to begin with?"''

''"Eating this flower leads to spectacular, breathtaking indigestion."''

''"Throwing one Pikmin into a Queen Candypop Bud will let you raise the Pikmin population by as many as 8 little troopers. Its petals cycle through Pikmin-corresponding colors."''

When non-Winged Pikmin are thrown in, they will change into Winged Pikmin. 5 Pikmin can be thrown in before the Candypop Bud withers away. If Winged Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and the number Pikmin that can be thrown in will not decrease.

'''Black Candypop Buds''' are grey [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Candypop_Bud Candypop Buds] found in ''[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_3 Pikmin 3]''. When a Pikmin type other than Rock Pikmin are thrown in, Rock Pikmin sprouts will be expelled. Five Pikmin can be thrown in before the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Candypop_Bud Candypop Bud ]withers away. If Rock Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and the number of Pikmin that can be thrown in will not decrease.

''"When I throw Pikmin into this flower, they are popped right back out. I have named this very peculiar bloom the candypop bud. It's strange... No matter what color Pikmin I throw in, the ones that pop out match the flower's color."''

''"Throw Pikmin into a Candypop Bud to turn them into sprouts that are the same color as the flower!"''
