Updated November 11, 2026
Rare decor is a golden, sparkling version of a category's decor. You no longer get it by luck: each category has a rare decor level that you raise with points.

Which categories have rare decor?
Twelve categories have rare decor (November 2026). In some of them only certain items have a rare version: the banana at the supermarket, the coin by the roadside, the clovers in the park, the ticket at the station.

- Bakery
- Supermarket
- Café

Unlock the rare decor level
The rare decor gauge appears in your collection once you have found every regular decor of the category. If you haven't found any decor Pikmin of a category yet, its level isn't shown.
Earn rare decor points
Three actions earn points, each a different amount. Higher levels need more points.
- Pluck seedlings of the category.
- Turn a Pikmin of the category into a decor Pikmin, from a big seedling or by raising its friendship.
- Release Pikmin of the category.
The rare decor gift expedition
Each time the level goes up, a rare decor gift expedition appears. Only regular decor Pikmin of the same category can go. The one you send comes back wearing the rare decor, so choose its color carefully.
The first gift comes when the level reaches 2: unlocking sets the level to 1, with no expedition. If no Pikmin can be sent, wait for one of that category to receive its regular decor.
Restaurants since September 2024
Restaurant seedlings found after September 26, 2024 no longer have a small chance of becoming rare decor Pikmin. Seedlings found before that date still can.
Level up faster
- Plan a walk through several places of the same category: every seedling plucked there counts.
- Use the detector at a pure spot of the category.
- Keep one regular decor Pikmin of each color ready for the next gift.
- Release duplicates of the category rather than Pikmin you still need.
