Anode Beetles are almost always found in groups. This is because in order to pose any threat as enemies, they must generate electricity between each other.

This is because in order to pose any threat as enemies, they must generate [[electricity]] between each other. This process takes a few seconds because the two creatures must first align themselves such that their rear ends are facing each other, and then the discharge procedure itself takes a few seconds. Once it appears, the electric arc between two Beetles will kill any non-Yellow Pikmin it touches. If an Anode Beetle is all alone or is unable to link with a partner, it will still occasionally produce small jolts of electricity from beneath its wings, but these are harmless. If two beetles are connected with an arc of electricity, and one of them gets flipped over or becomes petrified, the connection will disappear and the other beetle will resume idling. | ||

They can, however, be flipped over if 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. | ||
