In {{p2}}, the Iridescent Flint Beetle's appearance was slightly changed to have a different coloration, and it is slightly smaller. Pikmin no longer attack them 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. It is possible to defeat these creatures while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], but they drop neither nectar nor [[spray]] and leave no corpse. | In {{p2}}, the Iridescent Flint Beetle's appearance was slightly changed to have a different coloration, and it is slightly smaller.

In {{p3}}, the Iridescent Flint Beetle was significantly redesigned. Its eyes (now purple) are still on stalks, but it sports two horizontally-facing antennae that look almost like a mustache, its shiny exoskeleton seems to have layers and appears less vibrant, and its underside appears to have four glowing, blue spots. In {{p3d}}'s [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]], [[Olimar]] confirms this drastic appearance change is due to them being a subspecies of the ones from previous games. The only way to harm one of these creatures, as with previous games, is by throwing Pikmin on its back, upon which it drops nectar or pellets. | In {{p3}}, the Iridescent Flint Beetle was significantly redesigned.

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *There are two enemies in the ''Pikmin'' games similar to the Iridescent Flint Beetle - the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] and the [[Doodlebug]]. All are in different families while their genera are the same. In real life, however, it is impossible for members of different families to share a genus - this would mean their genus identifiers are coincidentally the same instead of related. | ||
*The European version of the ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' trophy advises players to flip the creature over with a [[Purple Pikmin]] and then having them attack it. This strategy doesn't make much sense, and was likely [[mistake]]n for the [[Anode Beetle]] instead, which lacks a trophy. | *The European version of the ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' trophy advises players to flip the creature over with a [[Purple Pikmin]] and then having them attack it.
