-The '''Iridescent Flint Beetle''' ({{j|コガネモチ|Kogane Mochi|Small Riches Holder}}) is an [[enemy]] in the mainline ''Pikmin'' games. It is harmless to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and instead runs around unpredictably. When a Pikmin is [[throw]]n directly on top of it, it will flip over and drop a useful object, such as a [[pellet]] or a drop of [[spray]]. Pikmin attacking from the ground cannot harm it. This enemy spends most of the time underground, only surfacing when a [[leader]] comes near, and it will return to the ground after some time has passed or after it has been hit enough times.

 The name "Iridescent Flint Beetle" can refer to two different subspecies of creatures: the main one from {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}, or the spotted subspecies from {{p3}}. Aside from appearance, both species act identically.

 On the main menu, if the player presses {{button|gc|y|wii|z}}, an Iridescent Flint Beetle may appear that can be controlled with {{button|gc|c|wii|pad}}. The beetle will be swarmed if it gets close to the Pikmin. This is just one of the [[Easter eggs#Title screen secrets|main menu easter eggs]].

-In ''Pikmin 4'', the Iridescent Flint Beetle returns to a more familiar design, marrying the design of it's pearlescent shell from ''Pikmin 1'' and keeping the body shape of ''Pikmin 2'' while also slightly redesigning the shell shape. Unlike the previous iterations which would drop [[Pellets]], the Flint Beetle can now additionally drop [[raw material]] as well as Pellets, and with increasingly higher rewards as it would before.

 ===Dalmo's Notes===
 {{Transcript|This scuttling little one is a good-luck talisman you'd be happy to encounter. If you're fortunate enough to come upon one, make a wish before it leaves. The way its iridescent carapace changes colour depending on the angle you view it from is so distracting that I often forget to wish for something!|block=y}}
+===Olimar's Notes (''Pikmin 4'')===
+{{Transcript|Flint Beetles are known to hide in the grass until approached, at which point they jump out and scurry about.
+These creatures keep undigested food pellets in their stomachs to sustain them through winter, but given the right stimulus, they will spit them out.
+Recent research has revealed that these pellets are enveloped in a membrane that seals and preserves them in a sterile, airtight environment. If kept at room temperature, it seems that this pellet membrane will keep its contents fresh for up to six months.
+The membrane may be made from the same substance that gives the exoskeleton of the Flint Beetle its beautiful sheen.|block=y}}
