They can be obtained through completing [[expedition]]s and [[mushroom battle]]s. Postcards will contain the photo and name of a nearby location. Some of the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the player's [[squad]] will be overlaid on the photo. The player can store up to 400 postcards initially, with storage expansions available in the [[shop]]. When the limit is reached, the game will prompt the player to either purchase a storage upgrade, manage the postcards in their collection, or agree to stop receiving postcards until more storage space is made available. Postcards can be viewed and discarded in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Postcards|postcard menu]]. | ||
Postcards can be sent to [[Friend|friends]], and the player can select a Pikmin to carry the postcard. After being sent, both Pikmin and postcard will travel for 12 hours before appearing in the recipient's garden, regardless of the distance between players. Another postcard cannot be sent to the same friend for 24 hours after a postcard is dispatched. Once a player receives a postcard from a friend, the selected Pikmin will be holding a rolled-up envelope. Tapping on it will unveil the received postcard, along with some information about who sent it. After receiving a postcard, it can be found in the player's postcard menu with the messenger's [[Mii]] located on the bottom-right corner. If the receiving player has not sent a postcard to the sending player in the past 24 hours, the game will then show a prompt offering the option to send a reciprocating postcard. | Postcards can be sent to [[Friend|friends]], and the player can select a Pikmin to carry the postcard.
