Clawed Candypop Bud

In Pikmin V, Ebony Candypop Buds are black candypop buds that turn Pikmin into Clawed Pikmin. It is revealed in this game that candypop buds are a stage of Pikmin evolution that occurs immediately before the Onion. Another universal change is that throwing in the matching type of Pikmin will not revert them into leaves.
