There were some complications with the first mission. Initially it was to walk 10,000 steps, but no steps were counting towards it. After a few hours, it was changed to "Plant 1,000 white flowers" for people who hadn't opened the app yet, and a few hours later, people who had started the mission when it wasn't working had it automatically completed even if they hadn't walked 10,000 steps yet.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1566570076710526976|Tweet by Niantic Support|Twitter}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1566599189596889089|Tweet by Niantic Support|Twitter}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1566692198816665602|Tweet by Niantic Support|Twitter}}
 
To note is that missions referring to a specific color of flowers actually counted all flower types of that color, not just the basic type. For example, planting white spider lily flowers or white rose flowers would count towards missions requiring the planting of white flowers.

====Halloween====
[[File:Halloween Promotional Image.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Promotional image for the event.]]
A special event themed around {{w|Halloween}} was held from {{date|14|October}} to {{date|31|October|2022}}. This event added the "Jack-o'-lantern" type of [[Decor Pikmin#Jack-o'-lantern|Decor Pikmin]], which has 7 varieties, one for each type of Pikmin. Pikmin with these costumes were grown from [[Golden Seedling]]s.{{cite web|https://pikminbloom.com/news/october22-halloween/|News post|the Pikmin Bloom website|published={{date|13|October|2022}}|retrieved={{date|14|October|2022}}}}
This event was announced on {{date|13|October|2022}}.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/PikminBloom/status/1580453320103116800|Tweet by Pikmin Bloom|Twitter|published={{date|13|October|2022}}|retrieved={{date|14|October|2022}}}}
 
The event was divided into 2 parts. The first part started on {{date|14|October}}, and the second part on {{date|24|October}}. In the first part:
*The main way to get Jack-o-lantern Decor Pikmin was by completing missions. There were a total of 20 missions, each requiring some task (usually [[flower planting]]) to complete, and each one could be unlocked by completing the previous one.
*Golden Seedlings provided by these missions could grow into Purple, White, Rock, or Winged Pikmin wearing Jack-o'-lantern Decor.
*The [[weekly challenge]] starting in this period also provided Golden Seedlings when completed, and these could grow into the same types of Pikmin.
*Halloween-themed [[Mii]] costumes were added to the [[shop]] at the start of the event, and were removed at the end of the event.
*All [[postcard]]s obtained during the event featured one of 3 special background designs.
 
In the second part:
*All [[Mushroom challenge|mushrooms]] were turned into Halloween-themed mushrooms. These were orange with purple spots, came in large size only, and Jack-o'-lantern Decor Pikmin are especially strong against them.
*A new set of missions was introduced, themed around destroying these mushrooms, and completing each mission gave a Golden Seedling that could grow into a Red, Yellow, or Blue Pikmin wearing Jack-o'-lantern Decor.
*These missions could be attempted alongside the missions from the first part.
*The two [[weekly challenge]]s starting in this period also provided Golden Seedlings when completed, and these could grow any of the 7 types of Jack-o'-lantern Decor Pikmin.

A seven-day long Community Week was held between {{date|7|November}} and {{date|13|November|2022}}, ending in a two-day Community Day event on {{date|12|November}} and {{date|13|November}}. Bonuses for the Community Week included:{{cite web|https://pikminbloom.com/en/news/november22-communityweek/|News post|the Pikmin Bloom website|published={{date|3|November|2022}}|retrieved={{date|5|November|2022}}}}
*[[Big Flower]]s bloomed into special flowers from past Community Days between [[Event#December 2021 Community Day|December 2021]] and [[Event#October 2022 Community Day|October 2022]], and only for six hours. Other players who planted flowers in the Big Flower's radius during the 6-hour blooming period would also receive a [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruit]] from the Big Flower. The flower types that could be bloomed changed in the middle of each day.
**The available flowers alternated between cherry blossoms, tulips, roses, sunflowers, lilies, and hydrangeas for 24 hours, and then spider lilies, cosmoses, poinsettias, camellias, and plum blossoms for 24 hours.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/PikminBloom/status/1588365424923537413|Tweet by Pikmin Bloom|Twitter|published={{date|4|November|2022}}|retrieved={{date|8|November|2022}}}}
*The previous flower types were also available in the [[Shop]] as 180-petal containers.
*It was possible to obtain Community Day [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badges]] that the player did not previously obtain. To do this, 3000 flowers of the type featured in that community day had to be planted. These missions appeared in the activity list above the missions from the 1st Anniversary event.
Bonuses for the Community Day include:
*This community day took place over 2 days. Players achieving the 10,000 step goal on the two days combined (the counter does not reset between the days, so walking 5,000 steps on each day would still reach the goal) were awarded a special 1st Anniversary badge.
*Seedlings in the [[Planter Pack]] grew at 1.5 times the usual speed. This effect was stackable with the [[flower planting]] multiplier.

For other events, see Event (disambiguation).

Events are special periods in Pikmin Bloom where in-game rewards are prominent and unique things can happen.

They are announced sometime before they happen, in the news section of the main menu, via emails to those who have signed up to receive them, on social media, and on the Pikmin Bloom website.

List[edit]

Throughout the years of Pikmin Bloom, there have been a variety of events. Each event has had unique aspects, and there have been consistent types of events, such as the monthly Community Day, which has received only minor changes since its introduction. During other events, Special Decor Pikmin are made available for a limited time. Other events have also taken place, having various unique aspects. Every previous event is viewable here, and for convenience, the full list is split into pages:

  • Community Days: Monthly community days themed around specific flower types, where players are tasked to walk 10,000 steps and various boosts are granted.
  • Event Challenges: Monthly periods for various holidays and other celebrations, featuring a roulette for rewards after completing missions, Event Currency, and Mystery Boxes.
  • Decor Pikmin events: Special periods for various holidays and other celebrations that feature some consistent and some unique ways to obtain special Decor Pikmin for a limited time.
  • Other events: Other unique events, such as the in-person Pikmin Bloom tours.

Special Mission Ticket[edit]

Special Mission Tickets are unique items available in the shop during Event Challenges, Decor Pikmin events, and Community Days. When purchased from the shop, a special mission to plant 2,000 flowers of a specific color is made available. If the missions that are made available by purchasing a ticket are not completed before they expire, there is no compensation given for what was spent on the price of the ticket, and no rewards are given.

If the ticket is purchased for a Community Day, completing the mission rewards a specific amount, color, and type of seasonal petals. The flower type rewarded depends on what flower the Community Day is themed around. Community Day tickets can only be purchased with real money, and always cost $1.99 (or equivalent in other currencies). After being purchased, the mission can only be completed until the day after the Community Day weekend.

If the ticket is purchased for a Decor Pikmin event, completing the mission rewards a colored Gold Seedling of the players choice. The type of special Decor Pikmin rewarded from the Gold Seedling depends on what Decor Pikmin type the ticket is purchased for. Event Challenge tickets always cost Coin 799 coins. After being purchased, the mission has two months to be completed.

Unique Special Mission Tickets also appeared during some special events, and rewarded specific badges upon completion, depending on what badge the ticket was purchased for. After being purchased, the mission had two months to be completed.

There are also Special Completion Tickets, which unlock a series of missions when purchased from the shop. The missions consist of walking a certain amount of steps, planting a certain amount of flowers, and destroying a certain amount of mushrooms. Each mission that is completed grants a Gold Seedling of a specific type of special Decor Pikmin, and completing all the missions guarantees the whole set of Decor Pikmin is obtained. The ticket does not have a set price. After being purchased, the missions have two months to be completed. If any missions are not completed, the Gold Seedlings from the uncompleted missions are not rewarded.
