Niantic has announced that this year’s St. Patrick’s Day event in Pikmin Bloom will feature Clover Decor. Yes, that means you’ll be able to breed Pikmin with shamrocks on their heads (if you’re lucky with four leaves) and start celebrating all things green March 1, 2023.
The event is split into two different parts this year, with the first part consisting of 30 different missions that you’ll need to complete in order to receive a virtual pack of golden seedlings (necessary to grow red, yellow, blue, purple, white, winged or rock Clover Decor Pikmin). These Clover Pikmin will be important for the second part of the event, so you’ll want to prepare as many of them as possible in the early days.
For a summary of each of these missions, see the following list and note from Niantic:

– Every three missions you will receive a golden seedling that will become the Four Leaf Clover Pikmin Decor (See missions marked ★)
– Part 1 event missions will be available from Wednesday, March 1st until the end of the event on Friday, March 31st.
– All postcards your Pikmin bring back from expeditions during the event will have a St. Patrick’s Day design. Patrick.
– The store will be stocked with Mii costumes perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. Patrick during the event. Be sure to wear green and join the fun! (You can use coins to redeem Mii costumes until March 31st)
The second part of the event on the occasion of St. Patrick will start March 17 and will see you use your Clover Pikmin to fight off a series of green mushrooms that will bloom all over the map. The reward for fighting the fungus is even more golden seedlings, so the chances of the four-leafed Pikmin blooming are even higher.
