The Anode Dweevil is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is a yellow dweevil that will emit an electrical discharge when agitated by attacks that will immediately electrocute and kill the Pikmin without a chance to save them, thus making it one of the most dangerous Dweevils. It also picks up dead foes and treasures, which is common to all Dweevils. This suitably makes Yellow Pikmin the best choice in battle. Also, since Purple Pikmin can stun any small Dweevil, they will also work well.

Strategy
Pikmin
Attack it with yellows. If not, it's probably better to kill it with captains. Purples also work as they have a hundred percent chance of stunning any small Dweevil.
Captains
Run up to it and attack it until it starts glowing. If the Dream Material has already been acquired, keep attacking. If not, run away before it attacks, then run back when the electricity stops and repeat the assault.

Trivia
- On the main menu's "Spring" theme, one can see some Anode Dweevils scurry along the tree as the camera moves to the ground. These Dweevils however, have yellow feelers, as opposed to the regular in-game Dweevils' red feelers.
