If you've been getting into Pikmin Bloom over the past few weeks, the latest game from Pokémon GO developer Niantic, you'll be pleased to hear that another Community Day event is right around the corner.
The company has revealed that the app's first Community Day of 2022 will be taking place on 22nd January – the Saturday after next. As you'd expect, those who decide to get involved in the fun and play the game on that day will be able to reap all sorts of rewards. The details you need can be found below:
In-app bonuses: Big Flowers will bloom into camellias when you plant regular blue, red, yellow, or white petals around them (Camellias have been blooming sparingly from January 1st)
Players achieving the 10,000 step goal on this day will be awarded a special Camellia Flower Badge
Seedlings in your planter pack will grow at 1.5x the usual speed (and more, if you’re flower planting!)
Receive 1 bonus coin per 250 flowers planted instead of the usual 500 (capped at 60 coins/day)
Additionally, starting with the beginning of Community Day on January 22nd, you will be able to obtain fruits containing camellia nectar with every challenge you clear!
The Community Day celebrations will be taking place all day, so unlike with Pokémon GO, you won't need to be free at a specific time to get involved.
Back in December, Niantic revealed that players had already grown more than 113 million Pikmin in the app so far and had walked 338 billion steps. It might not be hitting Pokémon GO's lofty heights, but it sure seems to be popular.
Are you one of the many who have been playing Pikmin Bloom? Will you be taking part in this upcoming Community Day? Plant us a lovely comment in the box below.

Good, really enjoying it. But I’ve the maximum amount of Pikmin now, just concentrating on getting them all levelled up, hopefully something more substantial soon?
@AmplifyMJ they need to let us expand our storage with coins like Pokémon go, that’s the biggest problem with the game in my opinion.
I’m closing in on level 50 so I hope they raise the cap soon. I’d also like to see some new features but it’s a tough call. I like that when I’m walking there’s minimal input from me, unlike Pokémon Go. I don’t want to have to pay much attention to it when I’m walking.
I wish they would do one of these things on a weekday since I easily walk over 10000 steps every day for my job (and pass lots of flowers), but on a typical Saturday I'm lucky to break 2000 depending on how lazy the boy-child is being. I had to cheat in order to get the last special badge (Though it's funny because it proudly tells me "you planted 0 poinsettias at Community Day!"). Also, I can't believe I'm still "playing" this "game".
@OnlyItsMeReid Seriously, what is the point of coins if you can't use them to purchase any of the upgrades??? It makes me sad that I'm going to have to cull my Pikmin soon in order to get the badge for growing 400 of those expendable jerks. Also, since you can't really use them for anything useful, I can't help but wonder what kind a horrible person would actually spend money on coins (the most expensive one in Japan is 12,000 Yen, which I assume is $100 or... some large number of British currency).
@kurtasbestos yeah, you could pay 99.99 USD to get like what, 37 special slots? The shop is empty and there’s no way to get coins quickly anyways
Agree about the coins. I haven’t spent any yet because everything available to buy is easily obtainable if you walk regularly. I’ve been working on collecting the decor Pikmin and you can use the search tool for 100 coins if you’ve already used it that day. I’ll probably start using them for that.
I’ve put $8 into the game, all on permanent upgrades.
I loved this game until they locked out jailbroken users even though I wasn’t cheating 🤷🏻♂️
