Ivory Candypop Buds are rare white Candypop Buds found in Pikmin 2, the Mission Mode of Pikmin 3, and in Pikmin 4. When non-White Pikmin are thrown in, they will change into White Pikmin; this is the main method of obtaining White Pikmin in all of the games (sans Pikmin 4, where there is a White Onion), making them necessary for the completion of Pikmin 2.
Appearances[]
Pikmin 2[]
In Pikmin 2, Ivory Candypop Buds are first found in White Flower Garden. There are also four available in Subterranean Complex, three in Frontier Cavern, one in Bulblax Kingdom, two in Snagret Hole, one in Citadel of Spiders, one in Shower Room, one in Submerged Castle, and one in Cavern of Chaos. Some Ivory Candypop Buds are only available if the player has less than 20 White Pikmin total, including three in White Flower Garden, one additional in Bulblax Kingdom, one additional in Snagret Hole, and one additional in Shower Room. They also appear in Challenge Mode, with one appearing in The Giant's Bath.
If White Pikmin are thrown into an Ivory Candypop Bud, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and do not count against the five Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud.
Pikmin 3[]
In Pikmin 3, Ivory Candypop Buds are plentiful in Mission Mode, specifically the Collect Treasure objective as White Pikmin are useful for collecting piles of Nuggets. Three are present in Thirsty Desert, ten in Tropical Forest Remix, three in Thirsty Desert Remix, and three in Beastly Caverns. They do not appear in Bingo Mode, unlike Violet Candypop Buds.
Notes[]
To unlock the Piklopedia notes for a Candypop Bud, at least one Pikmin must be converted into a sprout from the corresponding type.
Olimar's Notes[]
"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 regions. Tossing Pikmin into this flower always produces white Pikmin seeds, regardless of the color of Pikmin tossed in. In many cases, plants with small leaves typically have limited photosynthetic capabilities, and thus must find alternate means of obtaining nutrients, with parasitic and predatory behavior being most common. The candypop could be considered one such example."
Louie's Notes[]
"This elusive flower spoils within seconds of picking, making it unsuitable for cooking."
Nintendo Player's Guide[]
"The only way to get White Pikmin on your squad is to use an Ivory Candypop Bud. One bud produces up to 5 pale sprouts."
