In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Trigger-Happy Groink is a new creature discovered in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature resembles a Gatling Groink, but its blueish armor is now a hardened black. Its armor is also now made of steel, with its protective shell no longer being transparent. The Groinks eyes now glow red, with a scar on one of its eyes. The Groink is also much more larger than a normal Gatling Groink.

When a Trigger-Happy Groink is active, it will stand around aimlessly. If it senses the footsteps of any creature, it will look in the direction of the vibrations, lift up its armor, charges its attack, and fires seven bullets at extremely high speeds at the target. The target can be Pikmin, or even other enemies. Bullets also lethal every time when fired now. The best way to attack the Groink is to go around its back right before it starts to fire to attack it. If harmed, the Trigger-Happy Groink will shake away all Pikmin and charge up another attack. It will shoot out a flurry of bullets into the air, which land around the Groink in a spiral formation. During its charge time, it’s best for the captain and Pikmin to retreat.

Unlike Gatling Groinks, Trigger-Happy Groinks do not regenerate their health.
