Notes[]
Hey! Pikmin Creature Log[]
"Its carapace is as hard as steel. It often uses its strong hind legs to push rocks, though it's not clear why. Is it hoarding them for some purpose? Watching it reminds me that sometimes in life, it's as important to pull as it is to push. I wish I could put it in beetle terms for this guy.
Battle Strategy[]
Hey! Pikmin[]
The Stony Flint Beetle is immune to Pikmin, due to its shell being extremely tough. They will be found pushing rocks throughout the stage. Oftentimes, you must push against those rocks to progress. If the rock they push falls down a ledge either direction, the beetle will fly away. Make sure you're not under the rock it pushes if it falls off of a cliff.
