The Doodlebug is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is the same in general appearance to the Iridescent Flint Beetle, except it is coated with dirt and has small flies hovering around it, giving it a more repugnant look. However, it is actually in the Flint Bug family, not the Flint Beetle family.

Where to be found

Doodlebugs only appear in the later caves of the game. Sublevel one in Frontier cavern contains three doodlebugs, thus making it a good sublevel to stock up on potions, and in Challenge mode, they can even drop treasure.

Drops

Like the Iridescent glint beetle, it drops spray; Purple Spray. It also drops three drops of nectar for raising pikmin into the flower stage.

Tutorial

Captains

Captains cannot harm this creature, it being required to have pikmin with you to flip it over.


Pikmin

It is best to use white pikmin to gain it's items, even though using a purple pikmin's shockwaves are super effective. It emits poisonous gas, therefore white pikmin are best to use, even though it is hard to land it straight in they middle of their shell.
