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 over 60 sets of costumes, and over 400 types of Decor Pikmin to collect in total. These Pikmin can be obtained by growing a Huge Seedling, a Gold Seedling, or by levelling up a Pikmin's friendship to 4 hearts. In Mushroom battles, Decor Pikmin have an additional 4 points added to their attack power.
Obtaining Decor Pikmin
One way to obtain Decor Pikmin is by growing a Huge Seedling. These are unlocked at level 5 and can be found from expeditions or levelling up. These seedlings require 10,000 steps to grow, and after growing one in the Planter Pack, plucking it will result in an animation where the Pikmin jumps into the empty planter, and comes out as a Decor Pikmin. The type of decor the player gets is determined by where the seedling was discovered. The Pikmin's type (colour) is random.
Another way to obtain Decor Pikmin is by levelling up an individual Pikmin's friendship level. This can be done in a variety ways, such as 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. Only the Pikmin that has been levelled up can go on this expedition, and the expedition's destination is the place where the Pikmin's seedling was discovered. After collecting the gift, an animation will play that shows the Pikmin jumping into the box and emerging as a Decor Pikmin. Its decor type is determined by where its seedling was found.
The final way to get Decor Pikmin is through growing Gold Seedlings. These seedlings are mostly received through events but sometimes can be obtained in weekly challenges and from inviting friends to play the game. Gold Seedlings work similarly to Huge Seedlings in which they instantly give you a Decor Pikmin after growing them. The only difference is that Gold Seedlings only require 100 steps to grow instead of 10,000. The type of Decor Pikmin you obtain from these seedling depends on the event you obtain them from.
There are Colored Gold Seedlings which are received from the Premium Event Pass from every 4 Stages or from Special Mission Tickets since September 4th, 2023.
Decor types
There are various types of decor that Pikmin can wear, each corresponding with some kind of real-world location. The decor a Pikmin wears depends on where its seedling was found. Pikmin Bloom gets its location data from OpenStreetMap and Foursquare (and likely other sources), and can thus only detect location types that are included in those databases.
Some locations can give multiple options for what decor set you will get. In these cases, the set is randomly given among the options for that location.
The basic decor sets are listed here in the order they are listed in-game. The icons appear when viewing information about a Pikmin or seedling, and can be used to work out what kind of decor a Pikmin will gain.
When viewing Pikmin, the icon is gray if the player does not have the corresponding Decor Pikmin of that color, while the icon will be yellow if they have already collected that Decor Pikmin. Note that this also applies to rare variants or time-limited Decor Pikmin. In an example of the latter, if a player has all Red Pikmin from the Sticker and Coin categories but does not have the Winter Sticker variant, all Roadside decor icons for Red Pikmin will appear as gray.

Roadside Decor Pikmin
If the seedling is not found near any real-world location matching one of the above locations, the decor type will be Roadside. These Pikmin wear a sticker or a coin. The sticker can be either green, blue, or orange, with each colour being worn on a different spot on the Pikmin's body. The sticker contains a letter that is based on the first letter or character of the name of the location where the seedling was found: if the seedling is listed as being 'near' a place, it uses that place's name, otherwise, it uses the name of the general area (such as the city or town it was discovered in), and if it cannot find a name for either, it will default to the letter P. (On postcards and on the static icons in the Decor Pikmin list, the letter is always P). As of v66.0 Coin Decor Pikmin were added. These Pikmin only have 1 type per Pikmin, unlike the sticker type, and the coins present on the Pikmin are from all around the world.
Any Roadside attribute Pikmin grown from a seedling discovered between December 21st, 2021 and January 11th, 2022 will instead have a winter-themed sticker. These stickers are bigger than the regular sticker, with each Pikmin type having a different design.
Due to the different colours, as well as the large number of possible characters on the sticker, Roadside Decor Pikmin have much more variety than other types of Decor Pikmin. Since May 22nd, 2023, the color variations of stickers have been treated as different decor types. Previously, each would only count as one type per Pikmin type in the Decor Pikmin list and towards the Decor Pikmin badges.
Weather Decor Pikmin
There are some types of Decor Pikmin that are not dependent on the location, but are instead dependent on the current weather where the player is. (It is not known which source Pikmin Bloom uses for weather data.) These Pikmin have the decor type Rainy Day or Snowy Day.
Regional exclusive Decor
The following Decor Pikmin are exclusive to certain regions.
Fortune
These Decor Pikmin can be found in the vicinity of Shrines and Temples throughout Japan, and they wear fortune-telling paper slips known as "omikuji" on their heads. Fortune Decor is available for all 7 types of pikmin, and comes in 5 different variations for each. The "omikuji" sequence in Pikmin Bloom contains the following fortunes (ordered from best to worst):
- "Daikichi" 大吉 (Great Blessing)
- "Kichi" 吉 (Blessing)
- "Chukichi" 中吉 (Middle Blessing)
- "Shokichi" 小吉 (Small Blessing)
- "Suekichi" 末吉 (Future Blessing)
Rare variants
For some Decor types, there is a low chance of the costume being a rare "shiny" variant of the regular costume. These costumes are more colourful, and Pikmin with them have sparkles around them in the Pikmin information page. These rare variants are treated as separate costumes, but the category only shows up once at least one of a set is obtained. Currently, there are only rare variants for Restaurant attribute Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin.
Special Decor Pikmin
Through events and other specific actions, Special Decor Pikmin wearing unique costumes can be obtained. Special decor is usually restricted to specific Pikmin types.
Mario Hat
This Decor Pikmin wears a replica of Mario's signature red cap. A Huge Seedling for this Pikmin can be obtained when the player links their Nintendo Account to the app. (Previously, you could earn Gold Seedlings from special spots at various Nintendo stores, but the Decor Pikmin that comes from the Gold Seedling has since been changed, meaning linking to a Nintendo Account is now the only way to receive this decor). When grown and plucked, the Pikmin inside will don a replica of Mario's hat, with a keyring attached to the end. The seedling comes from Kyoto, Japan, specifically from Nintendo's headquarters, and the decor type is marked as "near Nintendo". This Decor Pikmin will always be a Blue Pikmin.

Strategy
The following article or section contains guides. |
Decor Pikmin are Pikmin Bloom's main collectable item, so there is an incentive to collect as many types as possible. To aid in getting decor types you don't already have, go to a Pikmin's information page (or a seedling's information page) to look for the icon in the red circle. This icon represents the decor type; the icon associated with each set can be seen in the table above. Focus on increasing the friendship of Pikmin from decor sets you don't already have, as when they reach 4 hearts of friendship, they will turn into a Decor Pikmin after collecting a gift. To note is that Roadside attribute Decor Pikmin are by far the most common, so if a Pikmin has a icon, it may be worth ignoring it. Pressing the star in the corner of a Pikmin's page favorites that Pikmin, and this is a useful way to indicate Pikmin you want to prioritize. To see which types of Decor Pikmin you already have, tap a Decor Pikmin-related badge on your profile page and scroll down to see a list of all Decor Pikmin types.
The detector can be a useful way to get Decor types you don't have many of. It displays icons that can tell you what types of Decor Pikmin can be found nearby. Using it has a chance of uncovering seedlings of the decor sets displayed, so if you're missing certain types, tactical use of the detector can be handy.
When growing a Huge Seedling, it can be useful to grow it in a single-use slot, as they take a lot of steps to grow compared to other types of seedlings. Huge Seedlings are rare, so don't be afraid to use single-use slots to grow them.
