Pikmin Bloom Community Day: Camellias Return as January's Featured Flower on Nintendo Switch Mobile

Niantic, the renowned developer behind popular mobile hits like Pokémon GO, continues to engage players worldwide with Pikmin Bloom, its augmented reality adventure for mobile devices, including Nintendo Switch's integrated mobile platforms.

Much like Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom encourages players to explore the real world, tracking their steps and rewarding them for their activity.

Since its launch, Pikmin Bloom has harnessed the power of community events, notably its monthly Community Day gatherings, to foster an active player base and regular engagement. For January’s Pikmin Bloom Community Day, Niantic has announced that Camellias, a vibrant and memorable flower, will take center-stage as the event’s Flower of the Month.

The Camellia theme marks a nostalgic return for long-time fans, as it was previously featured in the January 2022 Community Day event.

These recurring Community Day events have become a pivotal part of Pikmin Bloom’s ongoing appeal, echoing the successful formula previously established in Pokémon GO. During the January Community Day, participants can purchase a themed Community Day bundle pack and a special mission ticket, both available through the in-game shop.

For the duration of the event, planting typical petals—such as blue, red, yellow, or white—will result in Big Flowers blossoming into Camellias, creating a visually stunning landscape for all players to enjoy.

Additionally, seeds acquired from the in-game planter pack will grow 1.5 times faster than usual, further incentivizing exploration and step-taking activity. A highlight of this month’s event is the exclusive Community Day mission ticket.

Players must obtain this ticket and complete the associated challenge before midnight local time on January 14th.

The mission tasks participants with reaching a 10,000-step goal—a feat that, if accomplished, is rewarded with the coveted Blue Camellia Flower Badge.

Such initiatives reinforce Pikmin Bloom’s mission to promote outdoor activity and communal involvement among its audience. Niantic’s commitment to regular updates, themed events, and meaningful player engagement continues to set Pikmin Bloom apart in the competitive mobile gaming market.

Since its release, Pikmin Bloom has established itself as a beloved companion-app for Nintendo fans, with each Community Day further cementing its place in the AR game space.

With the return of Camellias and a suite of new rewards and opportunities, January’s event looks poised to delight Pikmin Bloom aficionados and draw in newcomers alike.
