Golden Candypop Bud

The Golden Candypop Bud is a yellow-petaled candypop bud that behaves just like any other candypop bud but changes Pikmin thrown into them into Yellow Pikmin. Yellow Pikmin that are thrown in are reverted to the leaf stage and don't count against the five-Pikmin limit per candypop bud.

In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs, Golden Candypop Buds can be found distributed throughout the Spark Territory alone or in groups of up to four. Each of them can convert up to ten Pikmin into Yellow Pikmin if they are not already that color. After changing ten non-Yellow Pikmin, the Golden Candypop Bud will wilt and disappear. They regenerate every five days.

Golden Candypop Buds in Pikmin: Redemption are very rare, but are useless in the first half of the story.
