Anode Beetle
Anode Beetles are small black beetles with four yellow spots on their wing casings. 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, they may be subject to electrocution, so the best way to defeat them is either using Yellow Pikmin and/or Purple Pikmin and then swarming. Purple Pikmin, thanks to their homing ability and shock waves, can flip these from a distance as well, making them effective when in a hurry. If an Ultra-Bitter Spray is used, it will make it vulnerable to swarming.
