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.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“No matter what color Pikmin is tossed into the blossom of this flower, it spits out the same number of Pikmin seeds. Current research has yet to produce any theories as to precisely what kind of interaction causes the Pikmin to change color to match the color of this flower's petals.”

Louie's notes

“This tart flower's acidic juices can burn a hole through a frying pan. Eating it would be unwise.”

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.
