'''Rock Pikmin''' ({{j|岩ピクミン|Iwa Pikumin}}) are a species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] appearing in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, {{hp}} and {{pb}}, with the special abilities of [[crush]] (on soft surfaces) and [[stab]] immunity and a different method of [[Combat|attacking]]. They resemble small polished rocks with Pikmin eyes and limbs, and have lavender [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] like the [[Winged Pikmin]]. The main part of their bodies seem to be a dark gray texture of graphite that reflects light, whereas their stems, arms, and legs appear to be smooth and gray. When Rock Pikmin are dismissed, their sprouts glow gray, oddily from ''Pikmin 4'', they glow as a grayish cyan. Their ghosts are also shaped like small gray rocks with eyes. Just like all other types of Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'', Rock Pikmin have an [[Onion]], which later in the story merges with the Master Onion, and are reproduced through collecting nutrients from pellets and corpses. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', like all other types, they are found in certain levels and go to the [[Pikmin Park]] after a level is done. | '''Rock Pikmin''' ({{j|岩ピクミン|Iwa Pikumin}}) are a species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] appearing in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, {{hp}} and {{pb}}, with the special abilities of [[crush]] (on soft surfaces) and [[stab]] immunity and a different method of [[Combat|attacking]].

Rock Pikmin have very hard exteriors, which allows them to smash through [[crystal wall]]s, standalone [[crystal]]s, and even the armor of larger animals (like the [[Armored Mawdad]] and the [[Peckish Aristocrab]]'s claw). However, they do not sink in water and are [[throw]]n just as far as most Pikmin types, revealing that they do not weigh much. | Rock Pikmin have very hard exteriors, which allows them to smash through [[crystal wall]]s, standalone [[crystal]]s, and even the armor of larger animals (like the [[Armored Mawdad]] and the [[Peckish Aristocrab]]'s claw). However, they do not sink in water and are [[throw]]n just as far as most Pikmin types, revealing that they do not weigh much. | ||
This hardness causes Rock Pikmin to behave very differently in [[combat]] to other types. When thrown toward an [[enemy]] or [[obstacle]], they will bounce off and roll backward. This deals a large amount of damage that depends on the creature, but it can be enough to defeat some smaller enemies, like [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, in a single hit. Since they cannot latch onto enemies, they will repeatedly attack enemies and obstacles by charging head-on into them, rolling backward, and getting up again, doing less damage over time than other Pikmin types due to the lower attack rate, despite the fact that each hit done in this way causes 20 points of damage, more than any type per attack. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', when Rock Pikmin are told to [[charge]], they cause even less damage when they lunge, serving only 10 points of damage, but only on the first hit, as subsequent hits cause 20 damage again | This hardness causes Rock Pikmin to behave very differently in [[combat]] to other types.

That said, if they are thrown at the root of a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] and not directly on its berries, are told to attack the [[Shaggy Long Legs]]' hair, or are attacking another Pikmin in [[Bingo Battle]], they will cling on like the other Pikmin types, and they won't lunge (they will lunge when attacking a leader in Bingo Battle, though). | ||
