Event Challenges are a type of month-long events that have taken place every month since May 2023. The current Event Challenge and the players current progress on the missions can be viewed by clicking on the "event challenge" tab. This tab displays a green tile featuring a big flower at its center, with a circular track arranged around the big flower, which is split into four sections. Beneath this, missions are shown with various requirements for completion; steps taken, flowers planted, Pikmin grown, petals plucked, or mushrooms destroyed. The player's [[Mii]] is displayed marching upon the track, and will advance as missions are completed, leaving a trail of flowers behind them. As each of the four sections is completed, new missions will be presented, and the [[Big Flower]] in the center will grow through its phases; from a few tiny shoots at first, to a sprout, then a bud, and finally into a bloomed Big Flower once the challenge stage is completed. Upon completion, the challenge stage will advance, awarding the player a [[Gold Seedling]] of the event's Special [[Decor Pikmin]] and placing them upon a new track with a new Big Flower to grow. There are four challenge stages in total, each with their own missions, and each event's missions vary slightly. Upon completing the fourth stage, the player will reset to the first stage and restart the process.

When a mission is completed, tapping its entry will bring the player to a roulette screen displaying six items, with one of the player's Pikmin beneath. These items range from various types of [[petal]]s, items such as [[Mushroom recharge ticket]]s, [[#Event Currency|Event Currency]] for the current event, or a Huge or Gold Seedling of the event's Special Decor Pikmin. Tapping will cause the item roulette to begin revolving, and tapping again will cause the roulette to slow, stopping as the Pikmin jumps and taps the winning block, with the Pikmin waving happily as the prize is displayed. If the player does not tap the second time, this process will eventually conclude on its own. The timing or absence of a tap does not affect the outcome, as each prize is predetermined.{{cite web|https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/23-pikmin-bloom/faq/3968-event-challenges/|Help article|the Pikmin Bloom website|published={{date|8|May|2023}}|retrieved={{date|12|May|2023}}}}

*The Event Challenge tab which rewarded Gold Seedlings which would grow into Pikmin with the first set of Mahjong Tiles Decor.

*[[Mushroom battle#Mysterious mushrooms|Mystery mushrooms]] were added. These had green and yellow gradients with no spots and only appeared normal-sized. Mahjong Decor Pikmin had a higher attack power than standard Decor Pikmin. All mushrooms were converted to these mushrooms at the start of the event, and throughout the event, after a mushroom respawned it would usually become a mystery mushroom, with a small chance of becoming another type of mushroom. At the end of the event, all mystery mushrooms were converted back to other types of mushrooms.

*A new set of limited-time missions were introduced with a focus on destroying mushrooms. Clearing each mission gives a [[Mii#Tops|Mahjong themed T-shirt]].

*Defeating a mushroom would grant the player a Mystery Box as a bonus reward. These boxes were opened on the main menu after the battle results screen, and gave some items to the player. The rewards were random and not based on the star rating.

**Approximately 70% of the time, the player would get a yellow mystery box. These gave small amounts of petals, either 5 or 30 regular petals (white, red, yellow, or blue) or 3 or 20 seasonal petals (white, red or yellow hibiscus, or yellow sunflower, and starting from September, white, red or blue dianthus or white, red or yellow spider lily). These rewards still applied when the player had the maximum amount of nectar of that type. There was also a small chance of getting a [[Flower planting accelerator]] or a [[Mushroom recharge ticket]].

**Approximately 30% of the time, the player would get a red mystery box. These would reward a Gold Seedling or a Huge Seedling that will grow into a Pikmin with the second set of Mahjong Decor.

 

 

During this period these Decor Pikmin were stronger when battling regular mushrooms, gaining an additional 20 points of strength.
