'''Anode Beetles''' ({{j|エレキムシ|Ereki Mushi|Electric Bug}}) are small black beetles with four yellow spots on their wing casings. This creature is blissfully unaware of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and if found alone, they are harmless; but if there is a partner nearby, they can produce an electrical barrier between them, making any nearby Pikmin subject to electrocution. As such, they are commonly found in groups of 2 or more. [[Swarming]] will not harm it, as it has a protective shell, similar to the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle|Flint Beetles]]. To harm it, one must throw a Pikmin on top of it to flip it over, then proceed to swarm it. Purple Pikmin can cause them to flip over even if not directly hit. | |||

Anode Beetles are defensive creatures; they cannot be damaged while 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. | Anode Beetles are defensive creatures; they cannot be damaged while standing upright.

Since this enemy can kill any type of Pikmin that is not immune to electricity, it is advised to use Yellows. Simply throw a Yellow Pikmin onto it, and proceed to swarm it with any Pikmin you have. A group of 20 or more Yellows can kill it in one cycle. Alternatively, you can use other Pikmin types, but with care, as electrocution is highly possible. As an upside, Purple Pikmin can flip the beetles even if not directly thrown on top of them. Bulbmin are also useful in caves such as the [[Submerged Castle]]. | Since this enemy can kill any type of Pikmin that is not immune to electricity, it is advised to use Yellows.
