While Rock Pikmin are stronger in terms of durability, they weigh the same as a normal Pikmin, which means that, while they can be [[throw]]n normally, each one only counts for a single Pikmin while carrying items.

Despite their increased strength, they ''do'' have a setback: Rock Pikmin cannot latch onto their targets like other Pikmin, and will instead bounce off and roll back. If left unoccupied, they will repeatedly attack enemies and obstacles by charging head-on into them, doing significantly less damage per time than other Pikmin types: after hitting something, they roll back and stay lying down for a bit before rushing again, making their rate of attack atrocious. They can, however, be thrown by a [[leader]] to cause more damage than a regular strike, and can be [[whistle]]d to get up from lying down faster.
