This article or section requires information involving Pikmin 4. This includes, but is not limited to, new infobox data, new images, and new information in general.

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are blue Candypop Buds appearing in all four mainline Pikmin games. When non-Blue Pikmin are thrown in, they will change into Blue Pikmin. Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds generally serve as an indication that one or more bodies of water is nearby or ahead. If Blue Pikmin are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages.

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are named after a semi-precious dark blue mineral called Lapis Lazuli.

Appearances[]

Pikmin[]

In Pikmin, Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are the rarest Candypop Buds, and appear in only two areas: The Distant Spring and The Final Trial, the latter having it alongside the other Candypop Bud types. Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds can be used up to fifty times to acquire a high number of Blue Pikmin, but Blue Pikmin themselves do count against the limit.

Pikmin 2[]

In Pikmin 2, Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are instead one of the more common Candypop Bud types, due to the water-based puzzles. One Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud appears in Frontier Cavern, three in Snagret Hole, and two in Hole of Heroes.

Exclusively in this game, Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud do not count against the five Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud.

Pikmin 3[]

In Pikmin 3 Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are more plentiful due to the water-based puzzles, like with Pikmin 2. Four Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds appear in Tropical Wilds and two in Formidable Oak. In Mission Mode, two appear in Beastly Caverns and two in Twilight River Remix. The Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds in Twilight River Remix can convert ten Pikmin instead of five; this is the only time in the series where one specific instance of a Candypop Bud can convert more Pikmin than others.

Notes[]

To unlock the Piklopedia notes for a Candypop Bud, at least one Pikmin must be converted into a sprout from the corresponding type.

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!"

Nintendo Player's Guide[]

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