Decor Pikmin are Pikmin in Pikmin Bloom that wear a costume. There are a variety of outfits that Decor Pikmin can wear, and the type of costume a Pikmin wears depends on the type of real-world location where it was found. These Pikmin can be obtained by leveling up a Pikmin's friendship to 4 hearts, or by growing a Huge Seedling, Gold Seedling, or Silver Seedling. There are also a variety of Special Decor Pikmin types that are obtained in different ways. In mushroom battles, Decor Pikmin have an additional 4 points added to their attack power.
Obtaining Decor Pikmin[edit]
Friendship[edit]
One way to obtain Decor Pikmin is by leveling up an individual Pikmin's friendship level. This can be done in a variety ways, such as by sending Pikmin on expeditions or feeding them nectar. Once the Pikmin reaches a friendship level of 4 hearts, a new expedition will appear for a gift box. Only the Pikmin that has been levelled up can go on this expedition, and the expedition's destination is the place where the Pikmin's seedling was discovered. After collecting the gift, an animation will play that shows the Pikmin jumping into the box and emerging as a Decor Pikmin. The Pikmin's decor type is determined by where its seedling was found.
Special seedlings[edit]
Another way to obtain Decor Pikmin is by growing a variety of special seedlings. When plucking a special seedling, the type of Pikmin plucked will be random, unless otherwise stated. There are three types of special seedlings – Huge Seedlings, Gold Seedlings, and Silver Seedlings. While the amount of steps required to grow each type of seedling varies, they all function the same after the seedling is grown. Plucking the seedling from the Planter Pack will result in an animation where the Pikmin jumps into the empty planter and comes out as a Decor Pikmin. The three types of special seedlings are obtained in different ways:
- Huge Seedlings are unlocked at level 5 and can be found from expeditions, rewarded for leveling up, or received as a reward from an event. Huge Seedlings require 10,000 steps to grow.
- Gold Seedlings can be received from events, from inviting friends, from weekly challenges, and from Special Spots. Gold Seedlings require only 100 steps to grow. Gold Seedlings were added to the game on July 18th, 2022, during the 2022 Chess Piece Event. In addition to regular Gold Seedlings, there are also special colored Gold Seedlings, which can be received from the Event Premium Pass after completing four Event Challenge stages, from Special Mission Tickets, or from Special Completion Tickets. Colored Gold Seedlings were added to the game on September 4th, 2023, during the 2023 Mahjong Tile Event.
- Silver Seedlings can only be received from events. Silver Seedlings are different from other seedlings, as the amount of steps required to grow them will be different depending on the event they were rewarded for. Silver Seedlings were added to the game on December 2nd, 2025, during the 4th Anniversary Snack Event. During the 4th Anniversary Snack Event, they required 2,000 steps to grow.
Decor types[edit]
There are various types of decor that Pikmin can wear, each corresponding with some kind of real-world location. The decor a Pikmin wears depends on where its seedling was found. Pikmin Bloom gets its location data from OpenStreetMap and Foursquare (and likely other sources), and can thus only detect location types that are included in those databases. Some decor categories have multiple decor outfits available. In these cases, the decor is randomly chosen from among the options for that category.
The basic decor sets are listed here in the order they are listed in-game. The icons appear when viewing information about a Pikmin or seedling, and can be used to work out what kind of decor a Pikmin will gain. When viewing this icon, it will be gray if the player does not have the corresponding Decor Pikmin of that color, and yellow if they have already collected that Decor Pikmin. Note that this also applies to Rare Decor or time-limited Decor Pikmin. In an example of the latter, if a player has all Red Pikmin from the Sticker categories but does not have the Coin decor, all Roadside decor icons for Red Pikmin will appear as gray.
