Abilities

Rock Pikmin can survive ice hazards and attacks, and attack enemies with such abilities. Their hard form also allows them to be thrown at and break glass and ice barriers.

They appear to be able to carry the same normal capacity as any other Pikmin. Despite their strength, they have a setback; Rock Pikmin cannot latch onto their targets. Instead, they will repeatedly attack enemies by charging headlong into them.[1]

Obtaining Rock Pikmin

So far, the only known way to obtain rock Pikmin is to have a Medusal Slurker suck up normal Pikmin into it's body, which will turn them into Rock Pikmin. Then, you must defeat the Slurker to get the Pikmin back. Being rock-like in nature, it is unlikely there will be a rock Candypop Bud. [2]also, shown during the same traler, a new onion type ship appears as the rock pikmin are bringing back different fruits to the new "onion." this new onion may very well be the rock pikmins, as it is similar in shape and color.
