Anode Beetles (エレキムシ) are small black beetles with four yellow spots on their wing casings found in Pikmin 2. They are named 'anode' due to the fact that they produce electrical currents if another one is nearby. This creature is blissfully unaware of Pikmin, but if they approach the Beetles or the electrical current then they may be subject to electrocution. These enemies send out electricity so throwing Yellow Pikmin is an effective way to kill it. They usually come in large groups, so yellow pikmin are always vital. Another effective way is to throw Purple Pikmin on it so it becomes an easy kill. Swarming it will do nothing due to its hard shell like the Iridescent Flint Beetle. Also, an Armored Cannon Beetle Larva or a Decorated Cannon Beatle's boulder won't do anything to it and will instead slide forward.
Though harmless in appearance, it can kill Pikmin by electrical shocks. However, if only one Anode Beetle is on the map, it is completely harmless, even when it is trying to discharge its electricity.
