Rock Pikmin are one of the two newest types of Pikmin introduced in Pikmin 3. Encountered in Garden of Hope, they are immune to being crushed, such as boulders/rocks and enemies stomping. They hit hard as they make an impact on enemies, with higher attack power. They are also needed to break crystals and glass walls.​



Rock Pikmin are very useful throughout the game, especially for attacking. They aren't as good as Purple Pikmin were in Pikmin 2, but still pack a punch upon hitting. I mainly used Rock Pikmin to attack enemies, and they were most helpful in bosses, though not so much against Quaggled Mireclops.
 
Rock Pikmin are a great addition. Though not as useful as Purples were with their Super Strength, the Rocks are still good for Boss/Enemy Bashing. Their ability to avoid being crushed or stabbed is also handy.

It is recommended you use mostly Rock Pikmin in your battle with the Plasm Wraith. It can't crush or stab them to eat them, so the only thing that can kill them is the Wraith's elemental attacks (which you can just whistle off).

They definitely are useful against Plasm Wraith. I used about 60-85 Rock Pikmin to take away the pieces of golden substance after attacking to whittle away Plasm Wraith's health. I use the other types for the elemental types only.
