Editing Petal

{{game icons|pb=y}}
'''Petals''' are items used for [[flower planting]] in {{pb}}. To get petals, the player must feed [[nectar]] to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden]], which will make a flower bloom on their head. Petals from that flower can then be collected and added to the player's petal storage. There are multiple types of petals, each used to plant different types of flowers on the in-game [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map]].

== Obtaining petals ==
The main way to obtain petals is by feeding Pikmin [[nectar]]. When a Pikmin is fed nectar, a flower will bloom on its head, and tapping that flower will add petals to the player's petal storage, unless the Pikmin is fed basic white nectar while having a leaf on their stem. In this case, the basic white nectar instead progresses the Pikmin from leaf to bud. If a Pikmin goes from leaf to flower or from flower to flower, tapping the glowing flower will yield one petal of that type. Alternatively, if a Pikmin goes from bud to flower, tapping the glowing flower will yield two petals of that type. Each Pikmin can only be fed nectar six times before becoming overfed, at which point it will lose its flower after being tapped.

Therefore, depending on the method used, each nectar can be converted into either 1 or 2 petals:
* Feeding nectar to leaf Pikmin gives 1 petal per 1 nectar. For basic white nectar, this is instead 2 petals per each 2 nectar (one to bud the Pikmin, and another to flower it to get 2 petals), which is the same ratio, but requires spending both nectar separately.
* Feeding a basic white nectar to a leaf Pikmin and then a different type of nectar to the Pikmin with a bud, this results in 2 petals of the second nectar type that was fed.
* Feeding nectar to a flower Pikmin gives 1 petal per 1 nectar.
* Feeding nectar to a Pikmin that has naturally budded over time gives 2 petals per each 1 nectar. This is optimal for maximizing petals per nectar. 

Petals can also be obtained by releasing a Pikmin, which will provide 10 basic petals of the nectar color that fed to the Pikmin most recently, or white petals if it was never fed any nectar. Additionally, some types of petals can be bought from the [[shop]]. There is a limit to the number of petals of each type the player can hold, which can be increased through in-app purchases in the shop. The starting amount is 300, though before {{date|11|July|2022}}, it was 200.

[[File:Pikminbloom glowingbloom 2021nov14.png|thumb|150px|An example of the glowing effect on a [[Purple Pikmin]].]]
On very rare occasions after a player feeds [[nectar]] to a Pikmin, it may begin emitting a glow with an additional blue tint and a small lens flare effect. Even if a player collects a petal from this Pikmin, it will continue to glow. Additional petals may be collected while it is glowing, up to a maximum of 20-40. Regardless of whether the maximum number of petals are collected, the Pikmin will continue to glow for approximately 10 seconds. Once the Pikmin stops glowing, no further petals may be collected.

== Gameplay effects ==
Petals are primarily used during [[flower planting]] as a consumable resource. One petal type can be selected at a time, and while flower planting is turned on, that type of petals will gradually be depleted. It is possible to change to a different petal type during a flower planting session without interrupting the session. Doing so will instantly consume 1 petal of the newly-selected type and start depleting petals. Petals will not be depleted if the app cannot see the player's location, if it cannot connect to the game's servers, or if it is currently in a crashed state. The rate petals are used depends on how many Pikmin are in the player's [[squad]], but as the range of flowers planted also depends on this, it's advantageous to have as many Pikmin in the squad as possible if the player wishes to maximize total flowers planted.
