In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Pikmin no longer attack Iridescent Flint Beetles automatically as they do in the original game. In all ''Pikmin 2'' [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels they're in, these creatures drop treasures. They are found in similar locations, but only drop three things: a 1-pellet (a dose of nectar if it's underground), 2 doses of nectar, and then a dose of [[ultra-spicy spray]] (3 doses of nectar if the Ultra-spicy spray hasn't been discovered yet). Using [[Purple Pikmin]], it is easier to fight them due to the shockwaves that the heavy Purple Pikmin produce when thrown. | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Pikmin no longer attack Iridescent Flint Beetles automatically as they do in the original game.

On the main menu, if the player presses Y (Z in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|NPC version]]), an Iridescent Flint Beetle may appear that can be controlled with the C-stick (Gamecube) or the D-pad (NPC). The beetle will be attacked if it gets close to the Pikmin. This is just one of the [[Easter eggs#Play with the title screen|main menu easter eggs]]. | On the main menu, if the player presses Y (Z in the [[New Play Control!

Not much is known about the Iridescent Flint Beetle in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', besides that it, and assumingly it's counter-parts [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] and [[Doodlebug]], had it's appearance greatly altered. It now sports two antennae that look almost like a mustache. It's eyes are still on stalks, but it's shiny exoskeleton seems to have layers and appear less shiny. it's underside appears to also have four glowing, blue spots. The only way to harm these creatures, as with previous games, is by throwing Pikmin on its back, where it drops only nectar. | |||
