Golden Candypop Bud

Golden Candypop Buds are yellow Candypop Buds found in the canonical series. When non-Yellow Pikmin are thrown into the Golden Candypop Bud, they change into Yellow Pikmin.

Pikmin:Redemption
These are very rare, like in Pikmin 2 but with more than one, but as usual are worthless in the first half of the game.

Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
Golden Candypop Buds can be found distributed throughout the Spark Territory. They can be found in groups of one to four. Each of them can transform 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.
