Decor Pikmin

Decor Pikmin are special Pikmin in Pikmin Bloom that wear a costume. They have the same function as regular Pikmin, but wear a variety of decorative outfits. There are 22 types of decor, which when combined with the 7 Pikmin types gives 154 types of Decor Pikmin to collect (168 counting the variations of the Roadside decor).

Obtaining Decor Pikmin

Decor Pikmin can be obtained in two main ways.

One way is by finding huge seedlings from expeditions or leveling up, from which the player can grow Decor Pikmin. Huge Seedlings require 10,000 steps to grow. The Decor Pikmin the player gets is determined by where it was discovered. Growing the huge seedling in the Planter Pack will result in an animation where the Pikmin jumps into a gift box, and comes out as a Decor Pikmin. The Pikmin's type is random.

The other way to obtain Decor Pikmin is by leveling up an individual Pikmin's friendship level, which can be done by sending Pikmin on expeditions or feeding them nectar. Once the Pikmin is at the maximum friendship level of 4 hearts, a new expedition will appear for a gift box. After collecting this box, an animation will play that shows the Pikmin jumping into the gift box. The Pikmin emerges as a Decor Pikmin. Its decor type is determined by where its seedling was found. Only the Pikmin that has been leveled up can go on this expedition, and the expedition's destination is the place where the Pikmin's seedling was discovered.

Additionally, the player can obtain "Special" Decor Pikmin.

The type of Decor Pikmin is displayed on its map icon. These icons correspond to specific locations in the real world, such as supermarkets or restaurants.

The 2 types of forest Pikmin can be obtained from the same areas - there is no region lock.
