In {{p3}}, the Rock Pikmin are discovered in the [[Garden of Hope]], and are the second type discovered. They are found in a cave located north of the landing site. Residing in this cave is a [[Medusal Slurker]] that contains 6 Rock Pikmin. After defeating it, the player can use the newly-discovered Pikmin species to free the [[Rock Onion]] from a [[large crystal]]. After propagating some more Rock Pikmin, they can be used to break down the crystal wall outside of the cave and free [[Brittany]]. At the end of the day, the Rock Onion will merge with the Red Onion. Interestingly, a few of the Rock Pikmin inside the Slurker will have a [[Maturity|bud]] on top of their stem while others will have the usual leaf.

===Mandatory uses===
===Required uses===
{{todo|Finish the list for mandatory and recommended uses.}}
Rock Pikmin are required to be used to complete the following tasks. No other type can be used for the task, not even with exploits or [[glitch]]es.
In order to progress further into the game, at least one Rock Pikmin is mandatory to have in the player's party, so the following tasks can be completed:
*Fruits
*Fruits
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): One of the two in the area is inside of a crystal.
**{{icon|Face Wrinkler|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): A [[crystal wall]] directly blocks access to this fruit, and no bomb rocks are present in the area.
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} (Garden of Hope, inside the crystal): This fruit is encased in a [[crystal]].
**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|y|v=FF}} (Garden of Hope, near the fragments): A crystal wall directly blocks access to this fruit.
*Enemies
*Enemies
**{{icon|Quaggled Mireclops|y}}: The crystal on the head must be destroyed to finish the first phase of the battle.
**{{icon|Quaggled Mireclops|y}}: The crystal on the head must be destroyed to finish the first phase of the battle.
*Other
*Other
**Rock Pikmin Onion: As stated above, their Onion is encased in a crystal that needs to be destroyed in order to release it.
**[[Brittany]]: To rescue Brittany, a crystal wall must be destroyed with Rock Pikmin.
**Northern section of the [[Garden of Hope]]: A crystal wall blocks this section of the area with 4 fruits and a [[boss]], but since the wall is so close to the landing site, this wall will not be counted for the items it blocks.
 
===Near-required uses===
The following tasks are intended to be completed with Rock Pikmin, but it is technically possible to complete them without Rock Pikmin, by using alternate strategies, exploits, or [[bomb rock]]s.
*Fruits
**{{icon|Blonde Impostor|y}}: This fruit is encased in a crystal. It is possible to destroy the crystal with bomb rocks.
**{{icon|Dapper Blob|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): This fruit is encased in a crystal. It is possible to destroy the crystal with bomb rocks.
**{{icon|Disguised Delicacy|y|v=FF}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit is encased in a crystal. It is possible to destroy the crystal with [[bomb rock]]s.
**{{icon|Fire-Breathing Feast|y}}: This piece of fruit is located inside the [[Armored Mawdad]]. Although leaders can defeat the creature by punching it (even with its armor), using Rock Pikmin is much faster.
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): This fruit is inside a [[Calcified Crushblat]], and while [[Grey Candypop Bud]]s are nearby, it's possible to avoid using them.
**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|y|v=FF}} (Distant Tundra): This fruit is in a section of the area behind a [[crystal wall]]. It's possible to enter the arena from above and use [[Winged Pikmin]] to carry the fruit, or to use [[bomb rock]]s to destroy the wall.
**{{icon|Zest Bomb|y}} (Distant Tundra): This fruit is encased in a crystal. It is possible to destroy the crystal with bomb rocks.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Armored Mawdad|y}}: Rock Pikmin are needed to destroy the crystal armor, but the creature can be defeated if leaders punch it. Doing this is very slow.
**{{icon|Calcified Crushblat|y}}: Although the creature is covered in crystal, a [[bomb rock]] can destroy the crystal. Alternatively, [[Winged Pikmin]] can [[charge]] at its feet, removing the need to take out the crystal.
*Obstacles
**{{icon|Crystal wall|y}}: Crystal walls can be destroyed with bomb rocks, but it is much easier and more efficient to use Rock Pikmin.
**{{icon|Large crystal|y|l=Crystal|n=Crystal}}: Like crystal walls, it is much easier and more efficient to use Rock Pikmin instead of bomb rocks.


===Recommended uses===
===Recommended uses===
Rock Pikmin are recommended for the following tasks, but are not mandatory.
Rock Pikmin are not required to complete the following tasks, but they are recommended as they make the task easier.
*Fruits

**{{icon|Fire-Breathing Feast|y}}: This piece of fruit is located inside the [[Armored Mawdad]]. Although leaders can defeat the creature by punching it (even with its armor), using Rock Pikmin is much faster.
**{{icon|Scaly Custard|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): This fruit is held by a Peckish Aristocrab, and so Rock Pikmin allow it to be obtained more easily.
**{{icon|Disguised Delicacy|y|v=FF}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit is encased in a crystal. It is possible to destroy the crystal with [[bomb rock]]s.
**{{icon|Zest Bomb|y}} (Distant Tundra): This fruit can be found inside a crystal. Bomb rocks could also be used to destroy it.
**{{icon|Dapper Blob|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): This fruit is encased in a crystal and guarded by two [[Yellow Wollywog]]s. However, bomb rocks can be used to destroy the crystal and other Pikmin types can defeat the Yellow Wollywogs.
**{{icon|Blonde Impostor|y}}: This fruit is encased in a crystal. However, bomb rocks can be used to destroy it.
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]):The one in Tropical Wilds is inside a [[Calcified Crushblat]].

**{{icon|Peckish Aristocrab|y}}: The claw can be destroyed to make it unable to eat Pikmin, but this is not necessary.
**{{icon|Peckish Aristocrab|y}}: The claw can be destroyed to make it unable to eat Pikmin, but this is not necessary.
**{{icon|Plasm Wraith|y}}: The crystal [[Plasm Wraith#Elemental Plasms|Elemental Plasms]] it releases can be destroyed by Rock Pikmin, but destroying them is not needed to win the fight. Its main attack, where it stabs and eats Pikmin, will not affect Rock Pikmin.

**{{icon|Skutterchuck|y}}: The [[crystal nodules]] it uses to attack can be destroyed to make the enemy more harmless.
**{{icon|Skutterchuck|y}}: With Rock Pikmin, this enemy can be defeated with 2 quick throws, and the type is also immune from being crushed by the [[crystal nodules]].
**{{icon|Yellow Wollywog|y|v=P3}}: This enemy's only attack is crushing Pikmin, which Rock Pikmin are immune to.
**{{icon|Shaggy Long Legs|y}}: Rock Pikmin are extremely helpful in this fight as they are immune to being crushed and they can climb up the Shaggy Long Legs.
