Decor Pikmin can be obtained in two main ways.
[[File:Huge Seedling icon.png|thumb|100px|A Huge Seedling.]]
[[File:Huge Seedling icon.png|thumb|100px|A Huge Seedling.]]
One way is by growing a [[Seedling|Huge Seedling]]. These are unlocked at [[level]] 10 and can be found from [[expedition]]s or [[Level|leveling up]]. Huge Seedlings require 10,000 steps to grow, and after growing one in the [[Planter Pack]], plucking it will result in an animation where the Pikmin jumps into a gift box, and comes out as a Decor Pikmin. The type of decor the player gets is determined by where the seedling was discovered. The Pikmin's type (color) is random.

The other way to obtain Decor Pikmin is by leveling up an individual Pikmin's [[friendship]] level. This can be done in various ways, such as by sending Pikmin on [[expedition]]s or feeding them [[nectar]]. Once the Pikmin is at the maximum friendship level of 4 hearts, a new expedition will appear for a gift box. Only the Pikmin that has been leveled up can go on this expedition, and the expedition's destination is the place where the Pikmin's seedling was discovered. After collecting this box, an animation will play that shows the Pikmin jumping into the gift box and emerging as a Decor Pikmin. Its decor type is determined by where its seedling was found.

There are 22 types of decor, each corresponding with some kind of real-world location. The decor a Pikmin wears depends on where its [[seedling]] was found. They 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 type of Decor Pikmin a Pikmin will level up into.

Decor Pikmin are ''Pikmin Bloom''{{'s}} main collectable item, so there is an incentive to collect as many types as possible. However, Roadside-type Decor Pikmin are by far the most common, so it can be helpful to prioritize other decor types. To see what type of decor a Pikmin will put on when it reaches 4 hearts of [[friendship]], go to the information page for a Pikmin or seedling, and look for the icon in the red circle. {{icon|Roadside|l=}} is the icon for a Roadside-type, so prioritize growing [[seedling]]s that don't have this icon, and send Pikmin that don't have this icon on more [[expedition]]s and [[challenge]]s to increase their friendship more. Pressing the star in the corner of a Pikmin's page favorites that Pikmin, and this is a useful way to indicate Pikmin you want to prioritize.
Decor Pikmin are ''Pikmin Bloom''{{'s}} main collectable item, so there is an incentive to collect as many types as possible. To aid in getting decor types you don't already have, go to a Pikmin's information page (or a seedling's information page) to look for the icon in the red circle. This icon represents the decor type; the icon associated with each type can be seen in the table above. Focus on increasing the [[friendship]] of Pikmin with decor types you don't already have, as when they reach 4 hearts of friendship, they will turn into a Decor Pikmin after collecting a gift. To note is that Roadside-type Decor Pikmin are by far the most common, so if a Pikmin has a {{icon|Roadside|l=}} icon, it may be worth ignoring it. Pressing the star in the corner of a Pikmin's page favorites that Pikmin, and this is a useful way to indicate Pikmin you want to prioritize. To see which types of Decor Pikmin you already have, tap a Decor Pikmin-related [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badge]] on your [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Profile|profile page]] and scroll down to see a list of all Decor Pikmin types.


The [[detector]] can be a useful way to get Decor types you don't have many of. It displays icons that can tell you what types of Decor Pikmin can be found nearby. Using it has a chance of uncovering seedlings of the decor types displayed, so if you're missing certain types, tactical use of the detector can be handy.
