Pikmin Bloom adds shaved ice decor

- Pikmin Bloom's Beach Resort event concludes on July 30th

- A brand-new Shaved Ice decor Pikmin event launches August 1st

- Complete special missions to earn seedlings and unique rewards

While Pikmin Bloom's Beach Resort event continues through July 30th, exciting new content is already melting its way into the game. Just in time for summer's peak heat, Niantic introduces refreshing Shaved Ice decor Pikmin to help players beat the seasonal warmth!

These frosty-themed Pikmin arrive alongside returning favorites - Ice Cream: 2024 Flavor and Summer Sticker Decor Pikmin - available from August 1st through 30th. Their adorable appearance, resembling Pikmin emerging from shaved ice desserts, perfectly complements the existing summer collection.

For those unfamiliar with this summer delicacy, shaved ice consists of finely shaved frozen water topped with flavored syrups - a beloved seasonal tradition in Japan and other East Asian regions.

Cool Summer Rewards

Special event missions will offer randomized prizes including Fruit Syrup Bottles (which grow into Shaved Ice Decor Pikmin) and various flower petals. The stage's centerpiece Big Flower will occasionally bloom, awarding Gold Seedlings alongside other prizes.

These sweet-themed challenges (remember: Pikmin aren't edible!) begin when the event launches. When the summer heat becomes unbearable, take a break from virtual beaches and dive into this refreshing new content.
