The '''Iridescent Flint Beetle''' ({{j|コガネモチ|Kogane Mochi|Small Riches Holder}}) is an [[enemy]] in the mainline ''Pikmin'' games. Iridescent Flint Beetles are harmless to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and instead run around unpredictably. When a Pikmin is [[throw]]n directly on top of one, 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 them. They spend most of the time underground, only surfacing when a [[leader]] comes near, and they will return to the ground after some time has passed or after they have 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 subspecies act identically.

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 {{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.

== ''Pikmin 4'' ==
{{clear}}
In ''Pikmin 4'', the Iridescent Flint Beetle returns to a more familiar design, looking more similar to how they do in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', while also slightly redesigning many aspects of the creature's appearance. Unlike the previous iterations which would drop [[Pellets]] or nectar, the Flint Beetle can now additionally drop [[raw material]] as well as Pellets, and with increasingly higher rewards as it would before.

The Flint Beetle is harmless and will remain underground until a [[leader]] or Pikmin approaches its resting spot. Once active, the Flint Beetle will scurry about in no particular direction; only away from the player after being hit. It moves quickly and can be difficult to hit at times, but repeatedly flipping it over for up to three times will provide increasingly valuable rewards. After being hit three times, or being active for a certain amount of time, the creature will scurry back underground. Though it does not die, it will not return for the rest of the day/challenge.

====Areas====
*[[The Impact Site]] - All spawn after day 1
**There are three Iridescent Flint Beetles in this area. The first Beetle can be found in a patch of blue [[figwort]] next to the [[Yellow Onion]]. The second one is located at the end of the path connecting the crash site segment to the main engine segment, where the [[cardboard box]] is originally found. The final one can be found next to where the [[bomb rock]]s are located, near the [[Vegetation#Spiked grass|spiked grass]].
*[[The Forest of Hope]] - One spawns after day 6.
**There are two Iridescent Flint Beetles in this area. The first Beetle is located in the large open area past the landing site, where the [[Eternal Fuel Dynamo]] is. It can be spotted behind the tin can full of bomb rocks. The second one can be found in a smaller patch of [[clover]]s next to where the [[Nova Blaster]] can be seen, as well as another tin can full of bomb rocks. However, after day 5, one more Flint Beetle spawns. This third one is located inside of a large patch of clovers along the path north of the landing site, behind the [[reinforced wall]]. The patch of clovers is down the thin walkway leading to the [[Extraordinary Bolt]].
*[[The Forest Navel]]
**There are two Iridescent Flint Beetles in this area. The first Beetle can be found at the bottom of the [[bridge]] path, inside a patch of [[nectar weed]]s. The second one is located at the end of the path where all the [[fire geyser]]s are located, in the section the Red [[Candypop Bud]] is in.

The second one is located towards the north of the map, inside of a different patch of clovers near the northernmost [[Puffstool]] (the one furthest away from the landing site). The clovers are adjacent to a trio of tree stumps.

{{Transcript|Flint Beetles are known to hide in the grass until approached, at which point they jump out and scurry around.
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}}

==Naming==
==Naming==
{{naming
The word "iridescent" in the Iridescent Flint Beetle's name means "shiny", referring to its shiny carapace. {{w|Flint}} is a type of rock, and this beetle was named after it. Its Japanese name is {{j|コガネモチ|Kogane Mochi}}. {{j|コガネ|kogane}} means "Small amount of money", likely referring to how it gives out worse prizes than its golden counterpart, and {{j|モチ|mochi}} means "holder". "Koganemushi" {{j|黄金虫|koganemushi}} also means scarab beetle, which its color is similar to.
|common    = Iridescent Flint Beetle. The word "iridescent" means "showing different colours depending on the viewer's angle", referring to its shiny {{w|elytron}}. {{w|Flint}} is a type of hard rock historically used to ignite fires by striking other rocks, similar to how striking it with a Pikmin yields prizes. However, "flint" is also similar to "glint", meaning "a bright reflection of light" &ndash; this is used in its relative's name, the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]].

"Koganemushi" {{j|黄金虫|koganemushi}} also means scarab beetle, which its color is similar to.
In its scientific name, ''Pilli envelopens'', ''Pilli'' is close to the Latin word ''pili'', which means "pikes". This word was possibly chosen because primitive pikes were made using flint stones. ''Envelopens'' is based on the English word "envelop", which means "to cover", possibly chosen due to the creature being mostly covered in a flint-hard shell. Its internal name in all of the games is <code>kogane</code>, the first word of its Japanese name.

|scientific = ''Pilli envelopens'' (''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 2'', and ''Pikmin 4''); ''Pilli envelopens striaticus'' (''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''). ''Pilli'' is probably derived from "pill", in reference to its round shape. ''Envelopens'' is based on the English word "envelop", which means "to cover", possibly chosen due to the creature being mostly covered in a flint-hard shell. ''Striaticus'' likely comes from "striated", a term for having a narrow streak or groove. While this term better describes the grooves found in the regular variant, the different color of the spots makes them more noticeable.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] belongs in a different family, the [[Glint beetle family]], while their genus is the same as the Iridescent Flint Beetles. In real life, 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.
*There are two enemies in the ''Pikmin'' games similar to the Iridescent Flint Beetle. 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.
**In the Spanish version, the Flint Beetle, Glint Beetle, and Doodlebug are from the same family. Even though the Glint Beetle is referred to belong in a different family in the Japanese version.
