'''Special Spots''' are points of interest in {{pb}} that are marked with a special rainbow bud flower. These points of interest are placed at specific locations as part of brand sponsorships. Special Spots were fully added to the game on {{date|29|September|2022}}, originally featuring the design of a small always-bloomed flower with the brand logo visible in the center of the flower. Their design was updated to the one used now in the [[Update#In Pikmin Bloom|56.0 update]].

Special Spots appear at defined locations on the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Map|map]]. They have a small circle on the ground surrounding them, and this circle can vary in size. If the player is inside the radius, the flower will glow and it will be possible to receive rewards from it; otherwise the flower will not glow.

Tapping on a Special Spot will open an information screen about it, with a brand logo appearing on the flower's bulb. Swiping down on the flower when it is glowing will make it drop a [[Gold Seedling]], sometimes along with nectar of a predetermined type and color. The type of [[Decor Pikmin]] this seedling grows into depends on the Special Spot, as does the frequency at which players can get the Seedlings and the maximum amount of Seedlings a Special Spot can give.{{cite web|https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/23-pikmin-bloom/faq/3623-special-spot/|Special Spot|''Pikmin Bloom'' Help Center|retrieved={{date|1|October|2022}}}}

[[File:PB Special Spot Nintendo.jpg|thumb|The old design of a Special Spot dedicated to Nintendo, in Tokyo.]]
The first Special Spots to be introduced were at [[Nintendo]]'s flagship stores in Tokyo and New York City. The seedlings provided by these Special Spots grow into [[Blue Pikmin]] with [[Decor Pikmin#Mario Hat|Mario Hat decor]]. Only 1 seedling can be obtained in a day this way.
Special Spots have appeared at a variety of live events and as part of other promotions. The rewards from these Special Spots have all been unique to the event or promotion they appeared for.


In addition to Special Spots appearing during events, there are permanent Special Spots at select locations. These locations include:
