The only way one can be defeated is by clogging the blowhole during air intake (Pikmin are impervious to harm when inhaled). This causes the beetle's internal temperature to rise dramatically, and in response the beetle will expose its burning abdomen underneath the armor to vent. The exposed abdomen leaves the beetle extremely vulnerable to attack. However, the Beetle will quickly unclog its blowhole, shield its backside, and continue its attack after excess heat has been drained. But if Olimar brings 40-60 red Pikmin with buds or flowers and throws fast, you can have the Armored Cannon Beetle down and out on the first or second try. As a side-note, [[Olimar]] can destroy the rocks by punching them; this does not work with the rock-producing [[Lithopod]]s in [[Pikmin 2]], however. | The only way one can be defeated is by clogging the blowhole during air intake (Pikmin are impervious to harm when inhaled).
