Pikmin Bloom brings the flavour with new Pasta Decor Pikmin

Niantic's AR games have always been innovative in encouraging outdoor activity, but the latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just take the cake for the most unusual yet. The new feature introduces Pasta Decor Pikmin, and yes, you read that right—pasta-themed Pikmin that you can find by visiting your local Italian restaurant!

This isn't a sneaky ploy to get you dining out; it's all about adding a dash of Italian flair to your Pikmin collection. By heading to Italian eateries in your area, you'll have the chance to discover seedlings for these unique Pasta Decor Pikmin. They're adorned with various types of pasta, from the familiar to the exotic, making them a quirky addition to the Pikmin family.

While the concept might seem bizarre, it's undeniably a fun way to get players up and moving. The novelty alone should draw crowds, and local restaurant owners might appreciate the extra foot traffic, provided they don't mind the occasional gathering outside their doors.

To join in on this pasta-themed adventure, you'll need to update your Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small step to take for a chance to experience this pasta perfection firsthand. So, lace up your shoes and head out to find those seedlings!
