Anode Beetle: Difference between revisions

Anode Beetles are almost always found in groups. This is because in order to pose any threat as enemies, they must generate electricity between each other. This process takes a few seconds because the two creatures must first align themselves such that their rear ends are facing each other, and then the discharge animation itself takes a few seconds. Once it appears, the electricity between two beetles will kill any non-yellow Pikmin it touches. If an Anode Beetle is all alone, or is unable to link with a partner, it will still occasionally produce small jolts of electricity from beneath its wings, but these are harmless.

Anode Beetles are defensive creatures; they cannot be damaged will standing upright. They can, however, be flipped over is a Pikmin is thrown directly onto one's back, or if a [[purple Pikmin]] is thrown such that the shock wave forces one to flip over. Once flipped, an Anode Beetle can be damaged with ease and can be defeated relatively quickly.
