The Evil Candypop Bud is a species of candypop bud appearing in Pikmin 2... Again?, being added after The Amazing New Update!!, appearing in Mission Infinite. The Evil Candypop Bud is a totally white candypop bud, resembling the Ivory Candypop Bud, but its petals are skeletal, and end in black, claw-like tips, and having five green petals on its end. When Pikmin are thrown into the Evil Candypop Bud, it'll close, but however, all Pikmin will die, and it'll instead eject nothing, making it not worth it to use, however, it has unlimited uses.
The Kaboom Candypop Bud is a variant of the Evil Candypop Bud, it resembles more like other candypop buds, however, it is light-yellow, similar to the color of the Walking Golden Pikpik Carrot. However, when Pikmin are thrown into it, when it close, it'll explode, not killing all Pikmin inside it and itself, but also anything around itself in the process.
The Suspicious Candypop Bud is another variant of anticheat candypop bud, they resemble the rest, but however, they are colored tan, similar to Bulbmin. When Pikmin are thrown into it, when it closes, it'll literally crash the game.
The Bud Budpop Bud is yet another candypop bud variant, however, it is the least harmful one. It closely resembles the rest, however, it is lime-colored, similar to the Glow Pikmin. When Pikmin are thrown into it, it'll close and eject three smaller versions of itself, rather than other Pikmin types, those will also eject smaller version of itself as Pikmin are thrown into it, which it infinite, that means the player can do this as many times as they want, until they lose all Pikmin.
Their main purpose is to fool the player into using them, and notably, all of the variants of Evil Candypop Buds are for Pikmin types without a own candypop bud.

The Carnivorous Candypop Bud is deceitful candypop bud that appears in Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator. While it may take the guise of any species of candypop bud, it does not convert Pikmin into other kinds of Pikmin; it instead swallows and ingests any that are thrown into it. Carnivorous Candypop Buds may even be of colors corresponding to Pikmin not yet discovered, potentially fooling inexperienced leaders into throwing members of their squads into them. To make matters worse, they may sometimes be located beside true candypop buds, which must be used to quickly solve a timed puzzle. Swarming a Carnivorous Candypop Bud will force it to reveal its true form, it struggling and then unearthing itself to waddle in no particular direction, using the leaves around its base to move. Throwing Pikmin at one of the detrimental flowers to harm it is ill-advised as doing so will only result in Pikmin deaths.
