Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud

Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds are blue Candypop Buds found in the canonical series. When non-Blue Pikmin are thrown into the Crimson Candypop Bud, they change into Blue Pikmin. They are named after a rare deep-blue semi-precious stone called lapis lazuli.

Pikmin:Redemption
There are much less of these than Pikmin 2, not that it matters as Candypop Buds are only semi-useful after the first half of the game.

Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds can be found distributed throughout the Marsh Territory. They can be found in groups of two to three. Each of them can transform ten Pikmin into Blue Pikmin if they are not already that color. After changing ten non-Blue Pikmin, the Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud will wilt and disappear. They regenerate every seven days.
