The Anode Dweevil is a yellow dweevil that emits an electrical discharge when agitated by attacks. This suitably makes Yellow Pikmin the best choice in battle. Since Purple Pikmin can stun any small dweevil, they also work well; however, this is a very risky strategy. Anode Dweevils also pick up dead foes and treasures, which is common to all dweevils.

Notes

Olimar's observations

“Although certain dweevils don't seem to be present this time, this one hasn't gone anywhere. It happens to be one of the most threatening dweevils due to how potent electricity is to Pikmin. It's best to only fight them with yellows and leave the others out of it's sight.”

Cookin' with Louie

“Raw anode dweevil makes for an unforgettable sushi treat, but if it is not prepared by an expert hand with exacting precision, consumption could result in a jolting electrical explosion of apocalyptic proportion.”

Alkaline Dweevil
Scientific name	Unknown
Family	Dweevil
Poko value	× 2
Attacks	Electrocutes Pikmin

The Alkaline Dweevil is a dweevil that appears in Pikmin 2: New Year as a relative of the Anode Dweevil. Despite it fleeing from nearby Pikmin and leaders and initially appearing harmless, the Alkaline Dweevil is incredibly dangerous because it uses electricity to defend itself when attacked, which instantly kills any Pikmin in its range except Yellow Pikmin. Alkaline Dweevils will pick up and carry nearby objects, such as treasures and corpses, ducking down to hide under them when alone, using them as a disguise.

Alkaline Dweevils have cream-colored skin, a pair of golden eyes above a pair of red eyes, a pair of mandibles with green bristles, and white markings on their legs.

As dangerous as their electricity makes them, Alkaline Dweevils are small and frail and can easily be defeated by throwing Pikmin onto their underside. An Alkaline Dweevil can not be harmed while it is carrying an object, requiring it to be forced off the creature before any damage may be dealt. Purple Pikmin pounds are effective against lesser dweevils such as the Alkaline Dweevil in their range as they not only stun the creatures but also force off an object they may be carrying.

Anode Dweevil
Scientific name	Mandarachnia volticula
Family	Dweevil
Carry weight	3
Max. carriers	6
Seed worth	4
Poko value	× 2
Attacks	Electrocutes Pikmin

The Anode Dweevil is a returning enemy appearing in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature retains its design throughout the Pikmin series. Anode Dweevils will wander around, hunting for objects to pick up, usually a treasure. This treasure can act as a form of armor, as Pikmin must detach the object before attacking the enemy. It’s advised for only Yellow Pikmin to attack the Dweevil, as it will defend itself by creating a large electrical ring around itself for a few seconds. Due to this, they are one of the most dangerous Dweevils to face. If the creature is carrying an object and falls off a ledge, the object will reappear on the ground.

The Anode Dweevil appears in Pikmin: Dual Worlds. This species of dweevil acts a bit differently from its Pikmin 2 incarnation in that it ejects a sort of small anode from holes on its mandibles, connected to each other by tiny threads. The anodes will constantly glow a faint yellow and the dweevil will glow a cyan color when it's about to attack. It does so by electrifying itself, as well as the anodes and threads. An anode will always connect to the closest and second closest anodes to itself and never have more than two connections. Anodes and threads are destroyed on use. Overall, it acts similarly to the Titan Dweevil's Shock Therapist attack, albeit more like a sort of trap.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“I have noticed that, in some ways, Anode Dweevils are similar to Yellow Pikmin. They are both resistant to electricity, and they can carry massive objects (Yellow Pikmin need more than one to carry some objects, however). Now, if only I could find a way to get them to help me...”
