What Are Decor Pikmin in Pikmin 4?

Decor Pikmin are special hidden collectibles in Pikmin 4 that wear tiny, often adorable outfits — from a wind-up ladybug costume to a scoop of ice cream.

Once recruited, they behave exactly like a normal Pikmin of their type, so they are safe to bring into any situation.

According to the Decor Pikmin (Pikmin 4) page on Pikipedia, the 24 collectibles break down into three groups:

14 are pre-existing Decor Pikmin that also appear in Pikmin Bloom
8 belong to the Special "Pikmin 4 Toy" Decor set in that game
2 are new Ice Pikmin decors: one from the "Snowy Day" location set and one from a Special set called "Ice Cream: Extra Flavor"

The game tracks every find in the in-game Decopedia, which also displays each Pikmin's area hint and Dingo's humorous field notes.

How Decor Pikmin Work: Death, Candypop Buds, and Priority

Decor Pikmin come with a few unique rules that make them worry-free to collect:

They cannot be permanently lost. If a Decor Pikmin dies, its decor is briefly left behind before vanishing. The next Pikmin of that same type pulled from the Onion will be wearing the same decor.
They cannot change type. Decor Pikmin cannot be thrown into Candypop Buds, even if they are your only Pikmin of that type — they simply land on the open flower and slide off.
They get priority. When you call Pikmin out of an Onion or pluck one to hold, the game always hands you a Decor Pikmin before a regular one.

Decor Pikmin Rewards in Pikmin Bloom

After completing a day in Pikmin 4, you can send your Decor Pikmin data to the mobile game Pikmin Bloom, where each exported Pikmin is rewarded through a Gold Seedling. Twelve of the 24 decors correspond directly to standard Decor Pikmin in Pikmin Bloom:

Pikmin 4 Decor Pikmin	Pikmin Bloom Location Set	Decor

The resulting Gold Seedling sprouts the corresponding Pikmin type wearing the matching decor.

Tips for Tracking Down Every Decor Pikmin

Read the area hints. Each hint in the Decopedia nudges you toward the right landmark — for example, "It's standing watch over a sandcastle" points to the Roe-tund White Pikmin atop the sandcastle near the Blossoming Dunes base.
Search corners and clutter. Most Decor Pikmin hide in nooks: behind potted plants, under bridges and spades, inside crevasses, and along walls.
Check unusual elevations. Some spots are easy to miss, like the Knightly Blue Pikmin tucked between the window wall and baskets on the upper desk in Hero's Hideaway, or The S.S. Blue Pikmin sitting underwater in a coral bed.
Use bases as anchors. Nearly every decor sits near a base, cave entrance, or cave exit, so sweep the surroundings whenever you unlock a new one.
Enjoy Dingo's notes. Each Decopedia entry includes a joke from Dingo, such as his warning about the Tempting-Tiles White Pikmin: "Do. Not. Knock. Them. Over!"
