{{main|Rock Pikmin}}

The rough exterior of Rock Pikmin gives them the ability to survive blunt force attacks, making them quite valuable when fighting enemies that pose a crushing or stabbing hazard. However, Rock Pikmin won't completely ignore blunt force attacks like other Pikmin types ignore attacks of the hazard they are invulnerable to: crushing attacks temporarily and partially bury them, and stabbing attacks knock them down. Because Rock Pikmin have such a solid body, their attacks could almost be considered blunt force in and of themselves. When attacking enemies, they do not latch on and pummel, but rather cause damage solely with the impact. This even has a special effect on some enemies, like instantly grounding minor flying enemies such as [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s, or instantly crushing [[Skutterchuck]]s (whereas other Pikmin types will simply latch onto the Skutterchuck if it's vulnerable, and take more time to kill it).
