Pikmin Bloom is all set to celebrate its 3.5th anniversary next month, and Niantic is pulling out all the stops by bringing back some nostalgic gadgets to the game. The festivities kick off with a new event starting on May 1st, 2025, promising a month full of fun and rewards.
The Update Is a Cool Throwback to the Good Old Nintendo Days!
Over the years, Pikmin Bloom has delighted players with a variety of fun decor, from Pikmin adorned with Mahjong Tiles to those sporting Playing Cards. For its 3.5th anniversary, Pikmin Bloom is taking a trip down memory lane with classic Nintendo game consoles from the 80s and 90s making a comeback.
Adding to the nostalgia, a new Playing Card (Clubs Suit) Decor Pikmin will be introduced. This is a nod to Nintendo’s origins in the playing card industry before they ventured into video games. The designs of these cards are inspired by Nintendo’s vintage playing card decks.
The event will run from May 1st until May 31st, 2025, giving players a full month to engage in missions and collect these unique new Pikmin. Completing Event Challenge missions will reward you with random items such as Game Button Cells, seedlings that can grow into Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 Decor Pikmin, and flower petals.
During the event, Brilliant Mushrooms will appear, and smashing these will yield Mystery Boxes containing Game Button Cells, flower petals, and other goodies. The Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 and Playing Card Decor Pikmin are particularly effective at taking down these mushrooms.
Pikmin Bloom 3.5th Anniversary Also Brings Big Flowers in May
May will see the blooming of various flowers such as carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, and special anniversary roses. Planting red, yellow, white, or blue petals around these plants can enhance their growth.
An exciting nectar update is also on the way, where fruits obtained from mushrooms in May will yield nectar not only for regular flowers but also for special ones like carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, and anniversary roses.
Alongside these updates, there will be a Community Day and other exciting events. Make sure to download Pikmin Bloom from the Google Play Store and get ready for the 3.5th anniversary celebration.
