The Armored Flint Beetle appears in Pikmin IV. It sports a tough, clear crystal exoskeleton that can be broken using Rock Pikmin. Its main body is silver and casts a glare when viewed from certain angles. It has shiny red legs and sports a pair of thick blue antennae, the ends of which are green and glow in the dark. It charges at Pikmin to knock down and depetal them. Upon ramming into a wall, an Armored Flint Beetle can randomly drop nectar, pellets of any color, or a dose of ultra-spicy spray or ultra-bitter spray or their respective berries. If its crystal armor is broken and a Pikmin is thrown on top of it, it drops up to three of one of the aforementioned rewards at once before disappearing.
