'''Violet Candypop Buds''' are purple [[Candypop Bud]]s found in the canonical series. When non-Purple Pikmin are thrown into the Violet Candypop Bud, they change into [[Purple Pikmin]].
The '''Violet Candypop Bud''' is a purple-petaled [[Candypop family|candypop bud]] that behaves just like any other candypop bud but changes [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] thrown into them into [[Purple Pikmin]]. Purple Pikmin that are thrown in are reverted to the leaf stage and don't count against the five-Pikmin limit per candypop bud.

Research from our most recent expedition has confirmed the presence of candypop buds in subterranean regions. Considering the micro-ecologies this plant has been found in, one could surmise that it could be found in any cavern, regardless of geographic region. Tossing Pikmin into this flower results in the release of purple Pikmin seeds, regardless of the color of the Pikmin tossed in. This variety of candypop contains robustly odoriferous oils. If candypop flowers could be cultivated, there is no doubt that the plants would offer multifaceted benefits to the cosmetic, medical, and tourist industries.

Notes

Olimar's observations

At last! After exploring so much of this planet without the power of the Purple Pikmin, we finally found their Candypop Buds. It took exploring as far into the Flooded Fields as we could. Now that we have them, it seems like getting more of them won't be an easy task. Only a few places in the whole world actually have them present. Is this the Candypop Buds playing tricks on us? It can't be a coincidence that the hardest to find bud is the most useful one. If only the Purple Pikmin could have an Onion like the primary colors. Then we wouldn't need to rely on these flowers.

In Pikmin V, Violet Candypop Buds return with a few changes made to all Candypop Buds: they can convert 10 Pikmin before wilting, and Purple Pikmin thrown into the flower will not be reverted to the leaf stage. During the leaders' return to Dry Canyon, a Violet Candypop Bud reveals that Candypop Buds are a stage of Pikmin evolution that occurs immediately before the Onion, turning into a Purple Onion right in front of their eyes. This allows them entry into Sealed Valley.

Notes

Brittany's notes

Amazing! We have confirmed that Candypop Buds can metamorphose into Onions! This solves a lot of the mystery of the Candypop and Pikmin families, although it creates more questions as well. We still need to figure out how, why, and when a Candypop Bud will decide to mature.

Olimar's notes

This flower transforms any type of Pikmin thrown into it into Purple Pikmin. Despite the species' rarity, Purple Pikmin are great to pick up if you are in need of their strengths. They become a bit of a hassle afterward due to how slow they are, so choose wisely.

Louie's notes

I previously noted that this flower excretes a flavorful oil–turns out that the flavor comes from its extremely high fat content. Since this planet requires a lot of physical labor, I've taken to decocting the petals into an equally-high protein drink.

Notes

Olimar's notes

This flower always produces one Purple Pikmin for each Pikmin thrown in. As I have not been able to return a specimen, I have been unable to see how it does this. Perhaps it had the Purple Pikmin there in the first place and is just eating the ones thrown in?

Ship's notes

This flower may inject a thrown-in Pikmin with a purple pigment that alters the Pikmin's color and attributes. Further study shall be conducted with a Pellet Posy and this specimen.
