Thus, it is optimal to exclude Blue Pikmin entirely; [[Purple Pikmin]] should be brought in great numbers to defeat the [[Emperor Bulblax]] and various [[Orange Bulborb]]s, and a considerable amount of [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and Yellow Pikmin should be present to deal with their respective hazards as well as to make use of the Candypop Buds. Keep in mind that enough Red Pikmin to carry the [[Gyroid Bust]] should be on hand, as it is surrounded in [[Hazard generator#Fire Geyser|fire geysers]]. | ||

First you will want to take your [[Yellow Pikmin]] and have them destroy the electrical wires, then have your [[Purple Pikmin]] flip over and defeat all of the Anode Beetles. If you haven't spotted either treasure-bearing enemy, use the [[Treasure Gauge]] to scout them out. When you see the Iridescent Glint Beetle, throw a Purple Pikmin on or near it to topple it over and make it drop the treasure.

To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to have a leader scout the area solo and let the bomb-rocks fall without any Pikmin nearby.
