As February ushers in the season of sweets, Niantic and Nintendo are marking the occasion in Pikmin Bloom, their popular mobile app, by launching a festive chocolate-themed in-game event.
Available on both Android and iOS, Pikmin Bloom is known for blending outdoor exploration with imaginative gameplay, encouraging millions of users worldwide to grow their squads of Pikmin by walking through their neighborhoods. The highlight of this year’s February event is the debut of the 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin.
These new variations of Pikmin sport charming white-chocolate-inspired designs, visually refreshing the player experience and adding collectible value for dedicated users.
Alongside the new arrivals, last year’s Chocolate Decor Pikmin return for a limited time, giving players another opportunity to complete their collection. To participate, players are invited to clear Event Challenge missions throughout the season.
Each challenge successfully completed grants random in-app rewards, which may include Gift Bows, seedlings that grow into the new 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin, flower petals, and other useful items.
A standout feature occurs when the Big Flower at the event’s center blooms—users are then guaranteed a coveted Gold Seedling, bolstering their Pikmin roster. In a statement reflecting on the engagement and creativity behind these events, Niantic highlighted, “By completing event missions and gathering Gift Bows, players can grow exclusive Chocolate Decor Pikmin and unlock festive costumes for their Mii character.” The emphasis on diverse rewards and customization extends the event’s appeal to long-time fans and new players alike. During the event period, Colorful Mushrooms appear more frequently in-game.
Defeating these mushrooms yields Mystery Boxes stocked with Gift Bows and assorted items.
For optimal success, certain Pikmin types—specifically, the 2026 Chocolate, Chocolate, as well as Lunar New Year Ornament: Red and Gold Decor Pikmin—have increased strength against these obstacles, enabling teams to clear challenges more efficiently. Additionally, to celebrate the Lunar New Year, Lunar New Year Ornament Decor Pikmin are making a return.
Between February 4 and 28, players have a chance to earn seedlings for the Lunar New Year Ornament: Gold Decor Pikmin as extra rewards from Mystery Boxes found after defeating Colorful Mushrooms, reinforcing the event’s seasonal spirit. Pikmin Bloom continues to reward players for everyday activity, creatively combining health and entertainment.
Since its original release in October 2021, the app has expanded its community by regularly introducing themed events and collectible Decor Pikmin.
Players can download Pikmin Bloom for free on Android or iOS, with optional in-app purchases available.
For the best experience with the new 2026 Chocolate Decor Pikmin, ensure your app is updated to version 136 or higher. As with all mobile games, players are advised to play responsibly, remain aware of their surroundings, and enjoy the journey as they make the world bloom.
