November 2021 Community Day
Pikmin Bloom's first Community Day event occurred on November 13th, 2021. It was set to run from 9:00am to 6:00pm local time, however, due to network issues making players unable to access the game, it was extended to run to 8:00pm.[1] Bonuses of this event included:[2]
- Big Flowers bloomed into pansies when regular flowers were planted around them.
- This effect started the day before and continued throughout the weekend.
- Users who walked 10,000 steps or more earned a special Community Day Participant badge.
- Fruits gave twice the nectar.

Following the event, challenges gave poinsettia nectar instead of pansy nectar.

Flower Card Decor missions
