=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Its main offensive strategy is to launch the crystal it carries on its back. Otherwise, it's completely defenseless.
 
In most circumstances, it's a peaceful herbivore whose diet consists primarily of moss. When in danger, however, it wastes no time defending its territory by breaking small rocks and hurling them at the threat.
 
In order to ensure it has a steady supply of rocks with which to defend itself, it shares its habitat with Calcified Crushblat larvae so it can make use of the shells they cast off.|block=y}}

If a Skutterchuck has no crystals to pick up, it will pick up and throw Pikmin into the air instead. If a Rock Pikmin is thrown at it and breaks its crystal, the Skutterchuck will quickly scurry away.

In {{p4}}, they may also pick up and throw [[bomb rocks]] should there be any on the ground.

==Locations==
===Pikmin 3===
Two Skutterchucks are found in the area containing the [[Bridge|orange bridge pieces]] in the [[Garden of Hope]], but despawn after the [[Louie|Food Thief]] has been collected
Two Skutterchucks are also found in [[Tropical Wilds]] in the path next to the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] arenas.
Finally for the maingame two Skutterchucks are found in [[Formidable Oak]] next to a [[Nectarous Dandelfly]]. If you do not build the bridge and go through the path blocked by a dirt wall, you will find them there.
====Collect Treasures!====
In [[Tropical Forest]], a single Skutterchuck appears in front of the [[crystal wall]] in this mission, in-between the [[Face Wrinkler]] and orange bridge pieces.
In [[Shaded Garden]], another one appears but this time behind a crystal wall in the west section of the map. Two more appear in this section both in front of large crystals.
In [[The Rustyard]], a pair of Skutterchucks can be found in the south-west corner of the map on the side with Yellow Pikmin.
Another pair appears in [[Clockwork Chasm]] on the platform with the [[Gold Nugget|nuggets]] and bridge pieces. You can build said bridge to easily transport their corpses.
====Battle Enemies!====
A trio of Skutterchucks appear in [[Twilight Hollow]] directly behind the crystal wall closing Alph in with the Rock Onion.
In [[Twilight River Remix]] two appear guarding the Winged Onion, directly west of where you spawn in.
In [[Fortress of Festivity]], one appears behind a crystal wall next to a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] in a small square. It is east of the Master Onion or behind the player when they spawn.
In [[The Rustyard]] two pairs of two can be found. One pair south behind the Blue Onion, and another in the north-west corner easily accessible from the Rock Onion.
In [[Clockwork Chasm]] again, a lone Skutterchuck can be found north of the Master Onion, next to a large crystal holding a drop of [[Ultra-spicy spray]].
====Side Stories====
In the first level of Olimar's Assignment, [[Flower Garden]], two Skutterchucks are found in the same place as story mode, but this time one of them holds a [[Sunseed Berry]].
Two appear in [[Team Monster Hunt]], guarding the Rock Onion which is directly in front of Louie when the mission starts.
Another pair of Skutterchucks appear in [[Channel Gone Dry]], next to a Whiptongue Bulborb in the westward section of the map where the clipboards are in story mode.
In [[Looking for Louie]], two Skutterchucks appear after Louie's first concrete wall, in front of another. They're next to a [[Swooping Snitchbug]].
In [[Another Part Found]], two Skutterchucks are found with a [[Spotty Bulbear]] where the Bulborbs are found in story mode.
====Bingo Battle====
In [[Stagnant Sea]] layout B two Skutterchucks are found across the bridges on the corners of the south island, one on each corner.
In [[Twisted Cavern]] layout A, four Skutterchucks are found in the south section of the map.
===Pikmin 4===
====Story Mode====
Six Skutterchucks are found above ground in [[Hero's Hideaway]].
Three Skutterchucks can be found in sublevel 2 of [[Plunder Palace]] in the south-west corner, behind a crystal wall.
Three Skuttchucks can also be found in sublevel 2 of [[Cradle of the Beast]], in the south-west corner containing the [[Mouth of Lies]] and adjacent to the base room. One of these Skutterchucks are on an elevated ledge.
====Dandori Challenges====
A pair of Skutterchuck are found in [[Toggle Training]].
====Olimar's Shipwreck Tale====
Four are found in the sandy area guarding the [[Flarlic]].

Other Pikmin types can also be used to attack the underside of the creature. The Skutterchuck may shake them off and attempt to throw rocks onto them, but it rarely hits on time. This method takes a bit longer, and destroying all crystals with Rock Pikmin before killing the enemies leaves the Skutterchuck helpless.

This method takes a bit longer, and destroying all crystals with Rock Pikmin before killing the enemies leaves the Skutterchuck helpless.
In ''Pikmin 4'' skutterchucks now take 3 direct Rock Pikmin hits to be defeated, totalling 4 hits including the one required to break the crystal. This makes the use of throwing Rock Pikmin somewhat ineffective compared to how it was in ''Pikmin 3''. Instead, the player can charge the Rock Pikmin at the Skutterchuck, as Rock Pikmin now deal 4 times the amount they used to while charged. This, combined with the relatively low health of the Skutterchuck means this beast can be immediately and safely defeated with 8 or more Rock Pikmin.
Alternatively, [[Purple Pikmin]] can defeat a nearby Skutterchuck in one throw with its shockwave. Beware that this will not work if the Pikmin is thrown on top of the crystal. A levelled up rush from [[Oatchi]] can also immediately defeat this beast.


It is possible to take advantage of the Skutterchuck's attack, as if the player positions a leader near another enemy, the Skutterchuck will throw its crystal at the leader, killing or damaging the other enemy in the process. Unlike other enemies that use weapons like the [[Careening Dirigibug]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Skutterchuck is not immune to the crystal nodules it throws, so this can be used to kill other Skutterchucks if they are in the area, or even the Skutterchuck that launched the nodule.
