In Pikmin Evolution
Alloy Pikmin are a species of Pikmin appearing in Pikmin Evolution, where they are either the fifth or sixth Pikmin type encountered in the game alongside Roach Pikmin. They get their name from the fact that their bodies are made out of an extremely heavy alloy, known in-game as Pikinium-5. They are notable for their very large but flat heads, leaving them resembling walking screws, they are also the only Pikmin type in the game with a single eye as all other types have two. Their leaves resemble pinecones, and the bristles become more pronounced as they become more developed. Their metal bodies are extremely durable allowing them to survive even the hardest pressures, including crushing and stabbing attacks. Their heavy bodies also stun enemies when thrown at making dispatching them more convenient. Their thick skin also lets them ignore cold temperatures and become immune to ice based attacks. Finally their massive weight makes them count as 25 Pikmin when using devices such as weights. However this thick metal has some downsides, they are the slowest Pikmin in terms of movement and attack speed, meaning that in some cases their stun is the only thing they have going for them in combat. While they alongside Kelp Pikmin are the only Pikmin immune to drowning, they also become nearly slow to an unplayable extent under water, meaning bridging them is often still discouraged for convenience. So while Alloy Pikmin have a lot of good qualities, their many major weaknesses means they need support from other types to thrive.
