The '''Iridescent Flint Beetle''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin games]]. Attack one by throwing a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] on top of it, at which it glows red while overturning and drops a useful object; Pikmin attacking from on the ground cannot harm it. This creature disappears after a certain amount of time has passed or it has been overturned enough times. | The '''Iridescent Flint Beetle''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin games]].

In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', these bugs look rather larger than in [[Pikmin 2|the second game]] and have a slightly different coloration. They are more common, and are somewhat helpful. They are mostly found in foliage or in corners. When hit, they first drop a 1-[[pellet]], then, when hit again, they drop two doses of [[nectar]]. Upon the next direct hit more doses of nectar are released, and then a 5-pellet. This cycle repeats once more, ending after the second 5 -and swift movement. It also poses an indirect threat to Pikmin, as it will often run through Olimar's army. This results in the Pikmin automatically attacking and chasing it unless called back, which can lead them into danger. | In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', these bugs look rather larger than in [[Pikmin 2|the second game]] and have a slightly different coloration.

While the Flint Beetle cannot be killed it can have certain items knocked out of it. The creature can only be attacked with Pikmin, as [[Captains]] have no way of damaging this creature. Pikmin must be thrown at the Beetle's shell to flip it, knocking out useful items.
