The '''Iridescent Glint Beetle''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They resemble golden, sparkling [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s. The majority of these creatures are found underground, with only two appearances above ground, both in the [[Awakening Wood]]. One is inside the pot to the right of the [[Figwort]]s near the end of the constructable [[bridge]], and the other is on the raised area near the entrance to [[Snagret Hole]], to the left of the [[cave]] in a corner just before the ledge. | |||
This bug, when on land, drops three random-colored 5-[[pellet]]s, and then two doses of [[ultra-spicy spray]] when hit with a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Underground, the pellets are swapped for three doses of [[nectar]]. If the ultra-spicy spray has not been unlocked yet, it just drops more nectar (three doses) in place of the sprays. Some of the Glint Beetles that are underground drop treasure instead, and the Beetles in Challenge Mode always drop a [[Lustrous Element]]. Just like the Iridescent Flint Beetle, if it's attacked whilst petrified, it will shatter instantly, leaving nothing behind. It can also be chased off cliffs in some caves. | |||

The Iridescent Glint Beetle is an enemy in Pikmin 2. They resemble golden, sparkling Iridescent Flint Beetles. The majority of these creatures are found underground, with only two appearances above ground, both in the Awakening Wood. One is inside the pot to the right of the Figworts near the end of the constructable bridge, and the other is on the raised area near the entrance to Snagret Hole, to the left of the cave in a corner just before the ledge.
This bug, when on land, drops three random-colored 5-pellets, and then two doses of ultra-spicy spray when hit with a Pikmin. Underground, the pellets are swapped for three doses of nectar. If the ultra-spicy spray has not been unlocked yet, it just drops more nectar (three doses) in place of the sprays. Some of the Glint Beetles that are underground drop treasure instead, and the Beetles in Challenge Mode always drop a Lustrous Element. Just like the Iridescent Flint Beetle, if it's attacked whilst petrified, it will shatter instantly, leaving nothing behind. It can also be chased off cliffs in some caves.

Notes
Olimar's notes
“This variety of beetle consumes subterranean minerals. Due to the fact that it rarely emerges above ground, sightings of this particular species are extremely rare. While minerals are this beast's primary source of food, the beetle itself does not have the ability to digest these minerals. Instead, metabacteria living inside the beetle's stomach chemically break down the minerals. The resulting purified metal is discharged, but rare metals such as gold and platinum crystallize onto the iridescent glint beetle's shell, resulting in the beautiful laminated shimmer.”
Louie's notes
“This precious treat is exceptionally rare. I could sell it back at home for a fortune! Then, I could use the cash to upgrade my kitchen, buy galactic-class ingredients, and even star in my own cooking show... The Insect Gourmet!”
Killing Strategy
While the Glint Beetle cannot be killed without a spray, 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. The Iridescent Flint Beetle is damaged in the same way.
