Players can collect Chess Piece Decor Pikmin.
International Chess Day is July 20, and Pikmin Bloom is celebrating with an International Chess Day event that will give players the chance to collect Chess Piece Decor Pikmin.
The International Chess Day event will run from July 18, 2022 at midnight local time until July 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. local time.
During this event, players will receive a “Golden Seedling” at the end of each Weekly Challenge they participate in. Once players plant this Golden Seedling in their planter pack, it will grow into a Chess Piece Decor Pikmin after walking 100 steps.
On the Pikmin Bloom website, Niantic, the developer of Pikmin Bloom, said players won’t receive one of these Golden Seedlings if they leave a Weekly Challenge before time runs out.
Players will also have the chance to find Huge Seedlings that have a “Special Event” icon during this event. These Huge Seedlings will also grow into Chess Piece Decor Pikmin.
There will be four kinds of Chess Piece Decor Pikmin available to collect: Blue, Yellow, White, and Purple. Players will only be able to collect Chess Piece Decor Pikmin from the “Special Event” Huge Seedlings and the Golden Seedlings. They won’t be able to collect Chess Piece Decor Pikmin by increasing their friendship level with any of the Pikmin that are already in their collection.
Finally, Niantic said players can have one Special Event and one Golden Seedling in their inventory at the same time. However, players can’t have more than one Special Event seedling in their inventory at once. Niantic also said, ““Golden Seedlings” and Huge seedlings marked with a “Special event” icon will grow into “Chess Piece” Decor Pikmin even after the event ends.”
