Anode Beetles are small black beetles with four yellow spots on their wing casings found in Pikmin 2. They are named 'anode' due to the fact that they produce electrical currents if another one is nearby. This creature is blissfully unaware of Pikmin, but if they approach the Beetles or the electrical current then they may be subject to electrocution. These enemies send out electricity so throwing Yellow Pikmin is an effective way to kill it. Swarming it will do nothing due to its hard shell. To restore health, they mate with one another.

Though harmless in appearance, it can kill pikmin by electrical shocks.
