Estimated time remaining in mushroom battle

When choosing Pikmin to send to a mushroom battle, the estimated time remaining increases even though the total strength score is increasing.

  • I haven’t sent them into the battle, so I don’t know if the calculation will change if I join.
  • The player inviting me is in JST, where it’s March 1st, but I am in EST, where it’s February 28th, so different events are active.
  • This persisted after closing and reopening the app.

It’s because you are in another event wait until tomorrow and it will be normal again.

Hello 67889,

This is exactly the same issue I came across last month. I received a bullhorn from a friend in Japan (already 1 Feb, but where I live still 31 Jan). When I selected my pikmin, the remaining time increased while the strengths increased. I contacted the support to report this issue, and their answer was this was due to the time difference. I copied and pasted the text below (mushroom type/reward are different) and pointed out that this wouldn’t be a “help” if by my joining, the time required to destroy the mushroom increases. I asked them to pass my comment to the development team, but am disappointed that nothing has changed since.

*If you receive a call via a Mushroom Battle Bullhorn to a Verdant Mushroom before the event has started in your timezone, you will be able to join the battle and help destroy the mushroom. The Mystery Box you receive as a reward will be the one for the Festival of Colors Event.
