The candypop family is a family of plants in the Pikmin series. Initially, the family consisted only of Candypop Buds, but from Pikmin 4 onward, other important gameplay plants were identified as being part of the family as well.

Members[edit]

Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora expellus

When Pikmin are tossed into a Candypop Bud, Pikmin of the same color are shot back out, allowing Pikmin to be converted between types. There are 8 colors of Candypop Bud, each corresponding to a type of Pikmin. (In Pikmin 2, different colors of Candypop Buds are considered different species, while in Pikmin, Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, all colors are considered the same species.)

Crimson Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Crimson Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora rufusia

Crimson Candypop Buds produce Red Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2.

Flarlic[edit]

Main article: Flarlic.

Scientific name: Bulbus lillium

A Flarlic resembles a colorless Onion. If carried to the Onion, 10 more Pikmin will be allowed out in the field, unless the limit of 100 has already been reached.

Golden Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Golden Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora aurumia

Golden Candypop Buds produce Yellow Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2.

Ivory Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Ivory Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora niveus

Ivory Candypop Buds produce White Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2, where this species is the only way of obtaining White Pikmin.

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora cobaltium

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds produce Blue Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2.

Onion[edit]

Main article: Onion.

Scientific name: Lillium pikminporta

Onions are large and round life forms that act as nests for the Pikmin. They allow leaders to store and retrieve Pikmin, as well as spitting out new Pikmin seeds. Additionally, starting in Pikmin 3, Onions of different types are capable of merging together.

Queen Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Queen Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora regina

Queen Candypop Buds are unique in the Candypop family. Their petals are white with colored spots which cycle between red, yellow, and blue. When a Pikmin of any type is tossed in, 9 seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving players an eight-Pikmin gain. After the seeds are ejected, the Queen Candypop Bud wilts. These flowers are generally found in rest sublevels of caves, to let the player increase their Pikmin population. They only appear in Pikmin 2.

Violet Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Violet Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora puniceus

Violet Candypop Buds produce Purple Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2, where this species is the only way of obtaining Purple Pikmin.

Naming[edit]

The family's name is the combination of the words "candy", given their intense colors, and "pop", referring to the way Candypop Buds spit out Pikmin seeds.

-'''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.
+The '''candypop family''' is a family of plants in the {{ps}}. Initially, the family consisted only of [[Candypop Bud]]s, but from ''Pikmin 4'' onward, other important gameplay plants were identified as being part of the family as well.
-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 occasionly emit the same sparkles that come from the top of Onions

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"]].
