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]]. 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]].
