=== Crimson Candypop Bud ===

{{main|Crimson Candypop Bud}}

When Pikmin are tossed into a Crimson Candypop Bud, an equal number of [[Red Pikmin]] seeds are spat out. Proper planning lessens the need for these flowers, but they are more useful if one is far from the [[Onion]]s and has a small number of Red Pikmin on hand.

=== Golden Candypop Bud ===

{{main|Golden Candypop Bud}}

Golden Candypop Buds release [[Yellow Pikmin|yellow]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. While large numbers of Yellow Pikmin are not often needed, use of the Golden Candypop is required to obtain the [[Chronos Reactor]] in ''Pikmin''. This particular Candypop Bud is unfathomably rare in ''Pikmin 2'', making only one appearance inside the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] on sublevel 3. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Golden Candypop Buds often appear near electrodes.

{{main|Gray Candypop Bud}}

Gray Candypop Buds spit out [[Rock Pikmin]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. Gray Candypop Buds are uncommon in Story mode, but a cluster of four appears in the southernmost region of the [[Tropical Wilds]], where a [[Calcified Crushblat]] awaits. Since only Blue Pikmin can reach the Crushblat, these Candypops are useful to attack the Crushblat.

=== Ivory Candypop Bud ===

{{main|Ivory Candypop Bud}}

Ivory Candypop Buds produce [[White Pikmin]] seeds when Pikmin are thrown in. This Candypop can only be seen in ''Pikmin 2'' and is the only method of obtaining White Pikmin. Many Ivory Candypop Buds are found in the [[White Flower Garden]] on sublevel 3 when the player has 19 or fewer Whites, and on sublevels 3 and 4 of the Subterranean Complex.

=== Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud ===

{{main|Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud}}

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds produce [[Blue Pikmin]] seeds. They're particularly useful if the player has a small number of Blues on hand and needs to carry a heavy object across a lake.

{{main|Queen Candypop Bud}}

Queen Candypop Buds are very unique Candypops. Their petals are white with colored spots which flash from red, to yellow, to blue, and back to red. When a Pikmin of any type is tossed in, ''nine'' seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving players an eight-Pikmin gain. 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']].

=== Violet Candypop Bud ===

{{main|Violet Candypop Bud}}

Violet Candypop Buds spit out [[Purple Pikmin|purple]] seeds when Pikmin are tossed in. This Candypop Bud makes its first appearance in ''Pikmin 2'', and is the only way to obtain Purple Pikmin. Many Violet Candypop Buds and Queen Candypop Buds can be found on sublevel 8 of the [[Subterranean Complex]], making it the ideal location for growing more Purple Pikmin.
