Pikmin Bloom is a mobile game that encourages people to go on walks. It’s pretty cool, right?
There’s also ressource management in that game, surprisingly! So here’s a few tricks to get you started.
If you’re gonna feed your Pikmins, make sure the maturity stage on their heads have reached the ‘‘Bud’’ stage. You’ll get double the petals if you do so! And if they’re not in the bud state, feed them white Nectar, it’ll get them up a stage too.
Keep your rare petals for events! Don’t go around planting rare petals/seasonal petals around unless you’re sure you can get more Nectar of those, because they’re extremely hard to get, especially if you haven’t unlocked Mushrooms yet!
Try to always keep a few Seedlings for events aswell, since a lot of tasks require you to pluck one, two or more. Make the most out of your walks, so remember to plant your seedlings before going outside. Planting flowers makes growing seedlings faster, too!
Try to manage your Pikmin storage space. Keeping a few ‘‘doubles’’ of the same Decors is fine, but if you want to get a maximum of Decor Pikmin, you’ll have to release a lotta them, unless you pay for extra storage.
Expeditions stay in your inventory for 3 days, so always get the limited-time Big Flower fruits before they poof away! You’ll get the rest later if you don’t have enough Pikmins for it, currently.
Keep your coins. Keep. Your. Coins. Do not spend them unless you’re really sure what you’re doing.
If you’re low on white nectar, plan on feeding them around noon or later, when they’ve budded automatically. During you lunch break you can give your budding pikmin a ration of your precious seasonal nectar.
If you can spare the storage, try retaining event pikmin that may come in handy for next year’s event. For example, Easter eggs from last year are still strong this year, though not as strong as bunny pikmin. Also keep in mind there’s no certainty that they’ll have the same event each year. I’d get rid of duplicates that I’m guessing won’t be in a future event, such as roadside. But then again, you never know…
For order select whatever you want, usually is max to low.
But if you hit another time the same order, without changing to other, it reverse doing it from low to max.
Favorite Pikmin you want to keep. I always do new decor, attached to lifelog memories, and obtained from special locations. Give them experience by giving them (spare*) nectar and having them go on expeditions. Then you will have strong Pikmin of ones you know you’ll keep.
*I used to always have what I would call spare nectar, nectar that might go to waste. If you’re smart about nectar use I would say you should never give a Pikmin nectar unless you will get two petals back for it.
Pink Pikmin are fastest, use them for long expeditions.
In the morning I give white nectar to my favorite Pikmin and mushroom battle squad to get them in the bud state. Then, especially for mushroom battles, give them the nectar for the month. You will accumulate the petals you need for challenges more quickly this way.
Also for mushroom battles note the first 5 or 6 Pikmin you pick will show up on the postcard. If you’ve given them nectar they will have cute flowers on the postcard when they complete their battle (as long as it’s completed the same day).
1’:To make bud pikmin, put leaf pikmin in formation and walk for 10-15 minutes.
2’:Red or yellow are the easiest to store nectar. White flowers require a bit of technique, and blue flowers yield only half as much nectar as other colors.
3’:Seedlings need to walk in order to grow. Red, blue and yellow seedlings require only 1000 steps while white, black, purple and peach seedlings require more steps.
4’:Basically, it is better to train each color in balance. It is better to train up to 4star while the level is low.
There are three ways to turn leaf pikmin into bud pikmin
Give one normal white extract
Put them in formation and walk for 10-15 minutes
About 7 hours after starting the application after the day’s reset
You will get two petals from a flower that bloomed after giving extract to bud pikmin. This is valid for all extracts.
This is therefore an essential technique to increase the number of petals in a new flower.
And I foolishly named all of my Pikmin so I got attached to them. Letting go of them is hard
