'''Expeditions''' are a feature of {{pb}}, unlocked at [[level]] 6. They are the main way to collect [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruits]] and [[seedling]]s, and by extension, [[nectar]] and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. As the player walks around and blooms [[Big Flower]]s, items will appear on the map nearby. The player can then send a group of Pikmin to walk to the item and carry it back to the player, which takes place in real time. Once the Pikmin are back, the items can be collected in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden screen]]. | '''Expeditions''' are a feature of {{pb}}, unlocked at [[level]] 6.

There is [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Expeditions|a menu]] that lists all the expeditions available to the player and displays their associated locations on a map. By selecting an expedition, the player can choose which Pikmin to assign to that expedition, and then those Pikmin will walk to that expedition's associated location, collect the item, and then walk back to the player. This takes some amount of time, and the approximate time it will take is told to the player before the expedition is started. Pikmin on expeditions cannot be used for other purposes while they are on the expedition. | There is [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Expeditions|a menu]] that lists all the expeditions available to the player and displays their associated locations on a map.

The length of time an expedition takes depends on the Pikmin that are sent on it. Generally, the more Pikmin are sent, the faster the expedition will be, but different Pikmin types have different attributes. Speed is only influenced by the type of Pikmin, not its [[maturity]] or [[friendship]]. Before starting the expedition, the game shows an estimate of how long it will take with the currently-selected Pikmin. | The length of time an expedition takes depends on the Pikmin that are sent on it.

Different Pikmin types have different attributes on expeditions, caused by their different values and the unusual nature of the two formulas. The basic types are [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], and [[Blue Pikmin]], which are identical for the purposes of expeditions. If these types are the only ones on the expedition, the running speed will always be 4m/s, and the carrying speed will depend on how many Pikmin are on the expedition. If the minimum number of Pikmin are sent, the carrying speed will be 1m/s – this is because the carrying strength and the weight are equal, meaning dividing one by the other is always 1. Adding an extra Pikmin of these types will increase the speed by 1 divided by the weight of the object, and having the maximum number of Pikmin carrying will make the carrying speed 2m/s. | Different Pikmin types have different attributes on expeditions, caused by their different values and the unusual nature of the two formulas.
