How to Unlock 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin
During the event, players can earn seedlings that grow into 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin by completing Event Challenge missions. Each mission provides random rewards, which may include Gift Bows, flower petals, or Pikmin seedlings. When the Big Flower at the center of the stage blooms, players are guaranteed to receive a Gold Seedling in addition to any random rewards. These seedlings can grow into one of eight possible types of 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin, but the specific type received is random and does not guarantee collection of the full set. To display the 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin correctly, players must use Pikmin Bloom version v136 or later.
Seasonal Rewards and Costume Updates
At the beginning of the event, players are given missions to collect Gift Bows. Completing these missions rewards seedlings for Chocolate Decor Pikmin and seasonal costumes for the player’s Mii character. Gift Bows can also be obtained through flower planting and Mystery Boxes, which are earned by destroying Colorful Mushrooms that appear on the map during the event. These mushrooms contain Mystery Boxes with items and Gift Bows, and certain Pikmin—such as Chocolate Decor Pikmin, 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin, and Lunar New Year Ornament: Red and Gold Decor Pikmin—are more effective against them.
Returning Lunar New Year Ornament Decor Pikmin
From February 4 to February 28, players can also receive seedlings for Lunar New Year Ornament: Gold Decor Pikmin as bonus rewards from Mystery Boxes. These seedlings can grow into various types including Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Winged, Purple, or Rock Lunar New Year Ornament Pikmin. As with other event rewards, the specific type is random, so completing the full set is not guaranteed.
Exploring Pikmin Bloom
Pikmin Bloom is a mobile game that blends outdoor exploration with in-game progression. Players collect Pikmin, grow seedlings, plant flowers, and watch their map fill with colorful blossoms created by themselves and other nearby players. The February event continues this approach by offering themed missions and seasonal content that encourage walking and exploration while providing cosmetic rewards and new Pikmin to collect. The game is free to start on Android and iOS, with optional in-app purchases and a persistent internet connection required.
