Rock Pikmin are the seventh type of Pikmin announced for the Pikmin series, found in Pikmin 3 and first seen at E3 2012. Their appearance is unlike that of most other Pikmin: their bodies consist of a roughly-shaped piece of rock, and their flowers, along with Winged Pikmin, are purple instead of pink or white.

Rock Pikmin are discovered captive inside a Medusal Slurker. The Medusal Slurker must be defeated in order to gain the Rock Pikmin. Their Onion is nearby, inside a Crystal Nodule, which must be broken by the Rock Pikmin.

Abilities

Rock Pikmin are capable of breaking hard objects, including a type of gate that appears to be made of glass, the shell of the Armored Mawdad boss and the Peckish Aristocrab, and Crystal Nodules. They are also immune to crushing attacks. If they are crushed, they simply get stuck in the ground and come out of the ground shortly after. They are slightly stronger in battle, but not as strong as the Red Pikmin. The downside to this is that they cannot latch onto enemies; they instead repeatedly ram into them. Occasionally, they will make a harder impact on the enemy, which may cause them to flinch. Rock Pikmin, like Yelos Pikmin (whose abilities have returned), are able to carry bomb-rocks.
