Pikmin Bloom App

My normal step counter is incrementing, but the 3k step is frozen solid. Restarts and all.

Do y'all have this issue too?

Edit :full phone restart was required. Not ideal, but at least I'm not waiting on bug fix.

Nope! Had to quick charge my radar, but o e last day of snow got it for me!

After guessing last month and getting it wrong, I have no idea what to expect for April's pikmin.

Last year it was Easter, but I dunno that they'd do that twice in a row.

What do y'all think it could be?

We have 3 starting today and continuing until March 10th.

Sorry about the earlier speculation.

This is the link to the event that starts 3/1. It looks like red, blue & yellow pikmin will be earned by collecting poetry slips, while the others will be from spins after mushrooms and such.

More details in the link. Mii clothes as reward for poetry slip milestones, like usual.

Sounds like the map will see an update of:

• More mushrooms
• More blooms
• Postcard images

I'm hoping this is additive and not an overhaul of where mushrooms exist. Although if well-known landmarks could be mushrooms, I'd love that.

Fingers crossed and it sounds like it happens soon.

I got the notification for this feature and almost immediately dove in. I love it.

In conversation, it seems like not everyone caught on to what's happening here.

If you go to your Pikmin, select decor and then filter by whatever category you want, you now see which types you have AND the full set of pikmin you own who are part of that category.

That's handy after a challenge month when we may want to figure out what can be "released." Or just when we're trying to stay under some number of pikmin.

Thought I'd share, hope y'all are having fun, staying active, and thank you to friends you bullhorn me into specials and larges. :-)

I don't remember getting a notification about these, so I'm posting here. There's some new Ramen Noodle Keychain Pikmin.

Best link 8 can find at the moment.

It's just the standard Niantic Community Day thing, but I know my wife and I usually plan something more walk-centric on weekends like this. Reminders help.

This almost escaped my attention and it seems important for gameplay and planning.

And that continues until 12/24.

It's not a long blog post, but there's a lot to what they have to say. Recommend the click.

A new "Fairy light" kind of pikmin (found at appliance stores), a new Electric Special Mushroom (for yellow pickmin), and an emphasized roll out period.

Take all of that, and give everyone three bullhorns per day (for the duration), and I see a lot of activity kicking off. And I see mushroom recharges being bought across the world...

I had been plateauing with my squad - this is a fun and unexpected addition. I'm jazzed.

Note: the cute mittens and the old Winter Stickers are concurrent to much of this. I think I see extra steps in my future.

What do y'all think? Like, dislike, wish was different??

What I saw was an initial flurry of invites - usually special or large/giant. Then those kinds of mushrooms became more scarce and now invites are... 2 per day, at best. Some days I get no invites and see nothing worth inviting others to.

How have things been for you or y'all?

Any news on special pikmin or new challenges?

Is anyone planning any big hits? Chained invites?

I've seen good hits on Giants, but never anything close to a 4 star and I'd love to see that at least once.

So frustrated by the rewards on these.

1. It’s harder to get past 1 star than previous events I’ve done. Even with 2-3 people, I’m getting 1 star on most normal HW mushrooms

2. and then, all I’m getting is Halloween candy from boxes. I got a couple of Pikmin early on, which was awesome, but now it’s just 50 candy. And I need to collect thousands! It’s a drop in the bucket.

3. I don’t even want the devil tail. I thought candy was going to be like points we could spend at a costume store, but no. It’s mission driven and there’s no way I will ever get the cat ears, the one item I want.

I wish there were more Pikmin from boxes. It just feels like I’m investing a lot of effort for very little gain. They barely ever come up as a reward for the stage challenges, either. Thinking it was a lucky fluke that I ever got a complete Mahjongg set.

I rather enjoyed it. Invited others to one and I was invited to some others.

It all seemed to work as planned and we got to do a team take down of mushrooms across the world.

If there's anything I'd wish, it's that we could ensure teammates are situated to send a good squad. If they've already engaged a Normal Magic, their contribution when invited to a second will likely be... Less than awesome.

I kept waiting for one to finish before joining the new invite and that worked okay. I just worried that I look disinterested when really I want to bring my harder hitting (best) team to the fray.

What's been your experience and what do you think?

I'm super excited to see this and I'm hoping there's no odd distance limitation. My friends span the globe and I'd love it, if this is a good way to get new and interesting postcards.

It works be great to see mushrooms create opportunities to create friendships too. One thing at a time, I suppose.

I'm quite interested to see how cute the Halloween Candy Pikmin will be. I know the idea seems adorable, so I'll be chasing those down, for sure.

I just did this a few times and it seems to work.

If you have a flower board seedling and it's not planted, you can recycle it. When you do, if you click the pikmin-view page and then on the pikmin button, there will be a new expedition... for another flower board seedling.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Tedious and I'm not sure it's worth the effort. But it's there, complete with heart animations saying the pikmin tiny-leveled due to the expedition.

The high-level stuff seems pretty much like it was. I usually like to know the missions and stages so I can plan appropriately. Posting here, in case others like to do the same.

Good luck to all, for those chasing a complete collection.
