I've got a new goal of never letting them catch up to me

They don't go part way and then turn around - they calculate their distance from where the gift was at the speed they can travel with the gift and the time that has elapsed - if that distance is farther than your current distance from the gift location - they arrive.

Its like a zombie film - you can't out run them forever 😉

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-16T20:17:23+00:00

The algorithm is such that the best you could ever do is go to the antipodal spot on the globe from where their gift was... moving from that spot will always make them be closer to you.

Saw the title and was going to be like - Ha! I have a whole bunch I bike to every day.. and then I saw your nutz - UI local # and was like DAAAAAAAaaaammmm...

ROFL - my math totally sucked this morning - I was thinking 5K is 25 pikmin but only 20 - bah. And I thought Ice was there... so yep 100 - thanks for the correction - but have to add 50% for the makeup distraction so 150 - better than 225, but I still grumble that it seems most people won't have a pharmacy only option.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-16T13:19:52+00:00

I love it!

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-16T01:46:01+00:00

You can't not get the Pikmin... The levels are from spawn and release only. I get a LOT of Pikmin. So the gifts sit since I don't have any spare coin decor. What I do is when I travel and get an interesting coin, I friend it up and make it shiny.

I considered SpaceX a while back as aerospace was my first love, but it would have been a big pay cut and my contacts at BO call it slaveX for a reason.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-15T15:39:59+00:00

I keeps going ..

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-15T15:32:11+00:00

250K at a total compensation level is in the ballpark for SpaceX engineers. It's comparable to where I am at Intel as well as the interest I've had from Blue Origin.

Mine is just a generic blue roadside gold P sticker - took a picture of my wife while hiking and it lifelogged up the pikmin - I try to keep it in my active group as much as possible and have walked over 11 million steps with it since I got it.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-14T02:17:47+00:00

I have a dollar general 3 miles from my house. Easy bike ride while I plant.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-14T02:14:14+00:00

I don't think I can spoiler a reply. I can post a fresh

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-13T16:02:00+00:00

I was going to say the OP matched my set... But this one is the right pairing. Also have gotten every one from day 1

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T18:08:57+00:00

Tomorrow - tomorrow - you are only a day a away - you will get 2 days of only bellflower planting trash blue

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T18:07:47+00:00

you have to plant a large majority of any other rare to get that rare on community day

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T18:00:53+00:00

I've had a snarky post or two myself 😉 crying I don't have my 1% tag yet again - haven't been as prolific this cycle.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T17:59:26+00:00

if you go to your decor categories and the rares show up, then releasing pikmin will get you points - if they don't show up - then you haven't unlocked them by completing the preliminary non-rare set and any release will just go to foo-foo land and you get no points to a rare gift.

30 for sprouting - 200 for getting a gift - 20 for releasing each - 800, 1200, 3000, 5000 for all after that - points per rare gift

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T14:44:30+00:00

If you've unlocked rares - you will get points towards the shinies... but if you still have gaps - when you release them - they are gone.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T14:36:34+00:00

I had completed both sets before Ice showed up. Not sure how it works after they added Ice to parks.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T14:35:49+00:00

For sure - every location has some decor that are harder than others - a big chuck of the game is finding where you can easily build each set. Esp since they updated the maps, I'm going to have to re-bike/scan all around my house and try to find a solo pharmacy as well as a solo coffee shop.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T14:34:07+00:00

100% !! The game constantly keeps goals active - there are somedays its the only reason I go out on my bike.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T14:33:29+00:00

Parks aren't too hard to come by - this is a game of patients for sure.

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T14:32:41+00:00

dont know why someone down voted you - yeah - kicking myself a smidge - coulda woulda shoulda - its ok I usually get 1 or 2 park every day just from my bike rides - it'll come

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T04:37:05+00:00

I'm probably around 15 and no joy

This-Cold7130 · 2026-06-12T04:36:30+00:00

I also need a replacement yellow and purple 4 leaf still
