(Mushrooms are visible on the map during an expedition and have been for a few months, though this hasn't always been the case, and I'm not sure when the feature was added.) |

'''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, uses [[detector]]s 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.

When Pikmin are on an expedition, they appear on the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map screen]]. It is possible to follow a Pikmin squad's journey by checking the expedition in progress and selecting "View Pikmin". [[Mushroom battle| | When Pikmin are on an expedition, they appear on the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map screen]]. It is possible to follow a Pikmin squad's journey by checking the expedition in progress and selecting "View Pikmin". This will center the view of the map on the location of the Pikmin, and in this view, the health wheels of [[Mushroom battle|mushrooms]] are not visible. When running to the item, Pikmin arrange themselves in a triangular formation, and when carrying it, they are evenly spaced around it in a circle. A maximum of 8 Pikmin are shown on the map screen for an expedition, even if more Pikmin are on that expedition. | ||
There is a chance for Pikmin on an expedition to return with a [[postcard]]. This postcard can be collected alongside the [[fruit]] or [[seedling]] the Pikmin was carrying, and will be shown on the screen, temporarily interrupting gameplay. The postcard will contain an image of the area the Pikmin collected the fruit or seedling from, and it will show them posing in that location. | There is a chance for Pikmin on an expedition to return with a [[postcard]].
