New Pasta Decor Pikmin Adds Flavor to Pikmin Bloom

Pikmin Bloom is gearing up to deliver one of its most peculiar yet intriguing updates to date — and this time, it’s bringing pasta into the mix. Yes, you read that right. The latest update introduces the brand-new Pasta Decor Pikmin, a quirky addition that sends players on a hunt to local Italian restaurants and eateries to find their seedlings.

Niantic has once again found a unique way to blend real-world exploration with in-game rewards, encouraging players to get moving. While it may seem odd at first glance, this update isn’t some sneaky ploy to boost restaurant sales. Rather, it’s a creative twist on location-based gameplay that fits right into Pikmin Bloom’s core concept.

These new Pikmin arrive dressed in an assortment of pasta styles — from the classic spaghetti to more unconventional noodle shapes. For fans of Italian cuisine and Pikmin alike, this bizarre but brilliant crossover is sure to spark some joy (and maybe even a craving for a good plate of pasta).

Boy, this stuff is good
Honestly, the sheer weirdness of this update might just be its strongest selling point. I can’t help but wonder how this collaboration came to be. However, if it gets more players moving and exploring their neighborhoods, then it’s hard to argue with the results. Hopefully, restaurant owners are on board — and not too bothered by the occasional Pikmin hunter lingering near their storefront.

To start collecting your Pasta Decor Pikmin, make sure your Pikmin Bloom app is updated to the latest version. It’s a small step, but one that opens the door to some deliciously odd in-game additions.
