The Agitated Flint Beetle is a recently discovered species of Flint Beetle with a solid red shell. Although it can't kill any Pikmin, it still can deflower them by ramming into them. It can also damage captains in its rage, and will scamper towards captains rather than flee like most other species of Flint Beetles.
The Agitated Flint Beetle aggressively pursues Pikmin to knock them down.

The Ashcrab is a subterranean creature that feeds on varying burnt materials such as ash and soot. Although the name indicates it being a crustacean, it is indeed a member of the Flint Beetle family. When provoked out of hiding, it will flee from the player and release a mix of black nectar and fire in order to help get away. Hitting it will result in dropping sprays.
The Ashcrab produces fire and dwells in volcanic environments.

The Bionic Flint Beetle is a close relative to the Flint Bug, the Doodlebug. After emerging and attempting to flee, it will release glowing particles as it runs, which after a while will release an on-going arc of electricity until it reaches the final particle, to which they all will disappear and the process is repeated until it disappears or defeated.

The Diamond Beetle is a very rare and elusive Flint Beetle subspecies. It moved twice as fast as a standard Flint Beetle but rewards much more in forms of numerous sprays, nectar, and pellets just from one hit. It also only stays above ground for half the time as its relatives.

{{main|Doodlebug}}
{{main|Doodlebug}}
The Doodlebug is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2''. Similar to the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], this bug hides in a spot underground, and when approached, it unburrows and quickly scatters around. Periodically, it stops in place to rest, providing the player with the opportunity to hit it to obtain a reward, normally a [[Spray#Spray drop|spray drop]]. After resting, when it darts off to a new location, it leaves a cloud of poisonous gas behind, making [[White Pikmin]] the ideal choice for combat.
The Doodlebug will release a cloud of toxic gas whenever it begins to move.
