Pikmin Bloom decor guide: where to find every decor
Updated November 11, 2026
Decor depends on the kind of place where you pick up a seedling. This guide explains where to look for each decor, how rare decor levels work, and how to use the detector to get exactly the decor you want.

Where to find each decor
Each decor comes from a kind of place. Sprotter finds these places from OpenStreetMap; the game also uses other sources, so a few places can differ.
Some places count for several decors: a pharmacy also counts as a cosmetics store, a bookstore as a stationery store, a department store as a cosmetics store.
Restaurant
The most common decor in cities. Its rare decor no longer drops by chance since September 2024.
Café
Common in city centers and stations. Chains count as long as they are listed as cafés.
Sweetshop
Candy and pastry shops are rare in the map data: many pastry shops are only listed as bakeries. Look in shopping streets and department stores.
Movie theater
Cinemas only, not stage theaters. Often inside shopping malls.
Pharmacy
Pharmacies also count as cosmetics stores, so they rarely give a single decor.
Zoo
Zoos are rare and large: their area counts, not just their entrance.
Waterside
Rivers, lakes and ponds. Large water areas count even far from their center.
Airport
One of the rarest decors: airports and heliports. Worth preparing before a trip.
Station
Train and metro stations give paper train and ticket decor. Big stations are rarely pure spots because shops surround them.
Supermarket
Supermarkets give mushroom and banana decor; the banana has a rare version.
Bakery
Bakeries give the baguette and the newer pastry decor. Common in Europe and Japan; in some cities pastry shops are listed here too.
Hair salon
Hairdressers are everywhere in residential streets: ideal for collecting ten of the same decor in one walk.
Park
Parks give the clover. A large park with no shops around is a classic pure spot.
Sushi restaurant
Sushi restaurants count, including conveyor-belt chains; supermarkets don't.
Stadium
Stadiums are rare: plan a visit and combine them with nearby places in one walk.
Shrine & temple
Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, very common in Japan and Taiwan.

Rare decor: how to unlock it
Rare decor is a golden, sparkling version of a category's decor. In some categories only certain items have one: the banana at the supermarket, the coin by the roadside, the clovers in the park, the ticket at the station.
- Find every regular decor of the category: the rare decor gauge then appears in your collection.
- Earn rare decor points by plucking seedlings, meeting decor Pikmin (big seedlings, friendship) and releasing Pikmin of that category.
- Each new level sends you a rare decor gift expedition. Send the Pikmin that should wear it: it comes back with the rare decor. The first gift comes at level 2.
Restaurant seedlings found after September 26, 2024 no longer turn into rare decor by chance. Higher levels need more points.

Pure spots: where the detector shows only one decor
A pure spot is a place where the detector lists a single decor type. The detector always gives you at least one seedling of a type it shows, so on a pure spot you almost certainly get the decor you came for.
Players use pure spots to target a decor quickly: a station in the middle of quiet streets for the ticket, a park with no shops around for the clover, a lone bakery for bread.
- Look for a place of the type you want with no other kind of place within about 100 m.
- The detector only refreshes after you move about 25 m: walk a little, then open it again.
- Parks, rivers and lakes cover large areas: they often show up even when their center is far away.
- Pure spots can change when shops open or close, or when the map data is updated.
Coming soon in Sprotter+
Sprotter+ will show likely pure spots on the map for any decor, anywhere, computed from OpenStreetMap data.
How the detector works
The detector looks at the map around you, within roughly 100 m according to players. The map is split into small cells: a decor counts when the center of its cell is in range, so two places in the same cell can't be separated.
It shows up to six decor icons and finds one or two seedlings, plus fruit. One seedling is guaranteed to match a decor shown. Roadside decor only appears when no other decor is in range.
- Use it at least once a day, ideally at a pure spot for the decor you are missing.
- More places of the same type in range means better odds of a second matching seedling.
- The result stays the same until you have moved about 25 m.
Tips to collect faster
Prepare trips
Rare places (airports, zoos, stadiums) are worth a detour: check where they are before you leave.
Keep a few seedlings
Many challenges ask you to pluck a number of Pikmin: keep some seedlings growing.
Release with care
Releasing Pikmin earns rare decor points, but keep one of each decor and color you may need later.
Big and golden seedlings
Big seedlings need about 10,000 steps, golden ones about 100: start the long ones before a long walk.
Community Day
Growing is faster on Community Day: a good moment for a long themed walk.
Frequently asked questions
What is a pure spot in Pikmin Bloom?
A place where the detector shows only one decor type, so the seedling you get is almost certainly that decor.
How do I get rare decor?
Complete every regular decor of a category, then earn rare decor points in that category. Each new level gives a gift expedition: the Pikmin you send comes back wearing the rare decor.
Which categories have rare decor?
Restaurant, hair salon, waterside, bakery, supermarket, café, roadside, park, station, pharmacy, stadium and forest (November 2026).
Why do I only get roadside decor?
No place of another type is within range of the detector. Move toward shops, parks or stations.
Why doesn't a place give its decor?
The game uses map data that can differ from what you see, and a place only counts when its map cell is in range.
Where can I find the sweets decor?
Candy and pastry shops. They are rare in map data: search shopping streets and department stores, or scan with Sprotter.
How do I get rainy day or snow decor?
Weather seedlings only appear in the matching weather, in places where you normally find roadside seedlings: look for a spot with no other decor nearby when the game shows rain or snow. The game uses a forecast, which can differ from the real weather.
Does Sprotter show seedlings in real time?
No. Seedlings come and go in the game. Sprotter shows the places that give each decor, which don't move.
Find these places around you
Sprotter scans your surroundings for the decor you want and plans a walk through the right places.
