Pikmin Bloom Halloween Event Guide 2026: How to Get Stained Glass Decor, Costumes & Beat Mushrooms

1. What's New in the 2026 Pikmin Halloween Event

This year adds Halloween: Stained Glass Decor Pikmin — 8 types, one for each Pikmin variety: Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple, White, Winged, Rock, and Ice. They're the headliner reward from Event Challenges, and they deal bonus damage against Halloween Mushrooms (plus a slight boost against all mushroom types during October).

Beyond Stained Glass, the event brings back two fan-requested Decor sets. Halloween Treat (originally 2024) and Halloween Light (originally 2025) are both obtainable again through Cookie missions and purchasable Special Mission Tickets. If you're sitting on an incomplete set from last year, this is your window.

There's also an event-exclusive Mii costume set, unlocked through the first Cookie mission track, and a month-long schedule of Giant Halloween Mushrooms dropping Rare Mystery Boxes on select weekends.

The event runs on Event Challenges — a stage-based system where clearing missions blooms a Big Flower, triggers a fixed stage reward (usually a Gold Seedling), then rolls into the next stage. Individual mission rewards are randomized. Two Stained Glass Cookie mission tracks run alongside the challenges: one for costumes, one for choosing returning Decor seedlings every 600 cookies. All unclaimed rewards and unspent cookies vanish after October 31.

-App version 153 or later is required for Stained Glass Decor to display properly.

2. How to Get All 8 Stained Glass Decor Pikmin

This is the question most players are asking, and there are four paths — two free, two paid.

Event Challenges (Free / Random)

Every time you clear a full stage, the blooming Big Flower guarantees a Gold Seedling that grows into one of the 8 Stained Glass types. The color is random each time — you can't pick. Run enough stages over the month and you'll accumulate most types naturally, but completing the full set by October 31 depends on volume and luck.

Friend Referrals (Free / Random)

Invite new players during October and any Gold Seedlings they earn will grow into a random Stained Glass Decor Pikmin, including Winged, Rock, and Ice.

Premium Event Pass (Paid / Choose Your Color)

Available at Level 20+ for 999 coins. Every 4th stage you clear (4th, 8th, 12th, 16th…), you receive an additional Gold Seedling and pick the exact color you want — red, yellow, blue, purple, white, pink, gray, or ice blue.

Buy before October 7, 23:59 local time for an early-bird bonus of 500 Stained Glass Cookies. If you buy later in the month, rewards from stages you've already cleared are applied retroactively — no picks lost.

Special Mission Ticket: Stained Glass (Paid / Choose Your Color)

Available October 14 through November 7. Purchase the ticket, complete its dedicated mission (deadline: December 31), and select one Stained Glass Decor Pikmin in any of the 8 colors. One ticket = one guaranteed pick. Best for players who need just one or two specific types to finish the set.

3. How to Get Returning Halloween Treat & Halloween Light Decor Pikmin

If you played in 2024 or 2025 and still have gaps in your Halloween Treat or Halloween Light collections, 2026 gives you two ways to fill them.

Cookie Mission Set 2 (Free)

The second Stained Glass Cookie mission track awards a selectable reward every 600 cookies. Early milestones include a mix of items and seedlings; later milestones shift toward Halloween Treat and Halloween Light Gold Seedlings specifically. Keep feeding cookies into this track and you'll eventually reach the returning Decor options — no purchase necessary, just time and cookies.

Cookies come from Event Challenge rewards, flower planting, Halloween Mushroom Mystery Boxes, and the Premium Pass early-bird bonus. The more mushrooms you fight and flowers you plant, the faster this track moves.

Special Mission Tickets: Light & Treat (Paid)

Starting October 14, separate Special Mission Tickets for Halloween Light and Halloween Treat go on sale (available through November 7, missions expire December 31). Each lets you pick the exact color after clearing the mission.

Neither includes ice blue — that option is exclusive to the Stained Glass ticket. If you know exactly which color you're missing, one ticket solves it immediately.

The first Cookie mission track also unlocks this year's Halloween Mii costumes — event-limited, won't come back until next year at the earliest.

4. Is the Pikmin Halloween Premium Pass Worth It?

The short answer: it depends on what you're chasing.

You don't need it to participate. The entire Halloween event — challenges, Cookie missions, mushrooms, returning Decor, Mii costumes — is fully playable without spending. The Premium Pass is an accelerator, not a gate.

Best for Completing All 8 Stained Glass Types

It's most valuable if you want all 8 Stained Glass types. The free track gives you random seedlings. The Pass lets you choose a color every 4 stages, so you can systematically fill gaps instead of hoping for the right random drop. If you're the kind of player who needs the complete set, this is significantly more efficient than grinding stages and praying.

The early-bird bonus matters. Buying before October 7 adds 500 Stained Glass Cookies — that's nearly a full milestone in Cookie Mission Set 2, which feeds into returning Decor seedlings. If you're planning to buy anyway, buying early has a tangible payoff.

When Special Mission Tickets Are Better

It doesn't help with returning Halloween Treat or Light Decor. The Pass only covers Stained Glass color picks. If your main goal is filling gaps from 2024 or 2025, the Special Mission Tickets (available October 14) are more direct — one ticket, one chosen color, done.

Buying late doesn't penalize you. Stage rewards from before your purchase are applied retroactively, so you won't miss color-pick opportunities by waiting. The only thing you lose is the early-bird cookies.

5. Pikmin Halloween Mushroom Dates & Battle Tips

Giant Halloween Mushroom Schedule

Giant Halloween Mushrooms drop Rare Mystery Boxes with better rewards and more Stained Glass Cookies than normal mushrooms. If you can only focus on mushrooms a few days each month, these are the days.

Which Pikmin to Send

Three Decor types deal the strongest damage against Halloween Mushrooms: Stained Glass, Halloween Treat, and Halloween Light. Feed them matching nectar before battle so their flowers are active. These same three types also get a smaller damage bonus against every other mushroom type during October — worth remembering for your daily battles.

Mushroom Bullhorns

You can use up to 3 Mushroom Battle Bullhorns per day to recruit more Pikmin and improve drop quality. Save them for Giant Mushroom weekends when the payoff is highest.

Cross-Timezone Trick

If a friend in an earlier timezone invites you to a Halloween Mushroom battle via Bullhorn before the event has started in your timezone, you can join and still receive event rewards. The reverse doesn't work — joining after the event has ended in your timezone yields no Mystery Box.

6. Clear Pikmin Halloween Missions Faster with PoGoskill

The Halloween event rewards consistent movement — flower-planting missions need walking distance, and mushroom spawns vary by location. Players in areas with sparse mushroom density or limited time outdoors can use PoGoskill to keep missions moving.

PoGoskill is a GPS location tool for iOS and Android that repositions your in-game location and lets you travel preset routes without physically walking.

Key Features of PoGoskill

• Reposition your in-game location on iOS and Android without physically traveling.
• Travel preset routes to keep flower-planting missions moving.
• Reach high-activity areas when nearby mushroom density is too low.

• step 1Connect your phone: Open PoGoskill and plug in your phone via USB. The app detects your device automatically.

  

• step 2Move to a high-activity area: Pick a location on the map — city parks, downtown plazas, areas with concentrated mushroom spawns — and confirm. Your in-game position switches immediately.

  

• step 3Use the joystick or set a route: The virtual joystick lets you manually steer between mushrooms and planting zones. For sustained flower planting, set a two-spot or multi-spot route and let it loop — your character walks the path continuously while planting progress builds up on its own.

  

During the Halloween event, use a route for flower-planting challenges, jump to a dense area for Giant Mushroom weekends, and switch between planting and mushroom objectives with the joystick instead of walking the distance.

7. Pikmin Halloween FAQ

How many Stained Glass Decor Pikmin are there?

Eight total — Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple, White, Winged, Rock, and Ice. When choosing via the Premium Pass or Special Mission Tickets, the color options appear as red, yellow, blue, purple, white, pink, gray, and ice blue.

Can I collect all 8 for free?

Yes, through Event Challenge stage rewards. Colors are random each time, so completing the set depends on how many stages you clear and luck. The Premium Pass or Tickets let you eliminate the randomness by picking specific colors.

Do Stained Glass Cookies carry over after October?

No. Unspent cookies disappear when the event ends on October 31. Use them on Cookie missions before the deadline.

Can PoGoskill add Cookies, complete missions, or guarantee a specific Decor?

No. PoGoskill handles GPS positioning only — it makes flower planting and mushroom searching more efficient, but cannot modify game data, increase cookie counts, or control which Decor Pikmin you receive.

Conclusion

Three dates shape the entire month: October 7 (Premium Pass early-bird cutoff), October 14 (Special Mission Tickets go live), and October 28–31 (final Giant Mushroom marathon). Between those milestones, keep planting flowers and fighting mushrooms to build your Cookie supply, and the rewards will follow.

If you need to cover more ground than your daily routine allows, Best Pikmin Decor assistant, PoGoskill, can put you where the mushrooms are and keep your planting missions running — so the event stays on track even on days you can't get out.
