there are a few types of seeds (particularly event seeds) that give you a random pikmin when it finishes growing, so it's impossible to determine when or if you'll be able to finish an event with limited time pikmin
many things run on timers. sending pikmin on expeditions, collecting accessories when you've leveled a pikmin enough, and battling mushrooms (which used to take anywhere from 30 seconds to a few hours but was recently updated to take several hours to multiple days to complete)
you can spend in game currency on tickets that allow you to refresh certain things, like mushroom battles, the radar, and weekly quests, as well as getting extra slots to grow seeds more quickly
you can send postcards from locations you've visited to friends once a day
you are rewarded badges for arbitrary goals (such as a certain number of steps or new pikmin decor) and there are also frequent events you can earn badges from by accomplishing tasks
there are 7 different types of pikmin and many different kinds of decor that are unique to each type of pikmin so you are encouraged to grow and collect as many pikmin as possible
the shop has "bundles" that group a few basic items together to make it look like a good deal
in group quests, it tallies how many steps/flowers each person contributed at the end and ranks players accordingly
new events pop up frequently with limited time pikmin, and once a month they have a community day where you have to hit a certain step count to receive a badge
you get 3 chances a day to attack mushrooms for rewards. there is also a radar that reveals items in an area and replenishes once a day
