Bulborb: Difference between revisions

The most effective strategy is to swarm it from the back with a large group of 20 or more Pikmin, preferably [[Red Pikmin]] for their high attack power, and it will die. Note that if the game has been running for a while it may instantly be standing and will kill more Pikmin than expected. If only a few Pikmin are available, repeatedly throw Pikmin onto the Bulborb's back and retreat if it starts charging at them. When it goes back to sleep, toss more Pikmin on its back.  Then, when it attempts to shake them off, call your Pikmin back and throw them back when the Bulborb is done shaking. It should be unable to eat any Pikmin when done correctly. This strategy also works for the [[Spotty Bulbear]], but it takes a little bit longer because Spotty Bulbears have more health. Red Pikmin are the best for this strategy (''Notice: This does not work well in Pikmin 2''). When attacking [[Dwarf Red Bulborb|Dwarf Bulborbs]], they will sometimes screech when agitated and awaken nearby Red Bulborbs. Note that a glitch exists when the Bulborb moves in to attack that renders it invincible. Unless it is at very low health, expect some Pikmin to be devoured. With a large enough Pikmin group, this shouldn't be a problem. If [[Bomb Rock]]s are used, the Bulborb will die with two or three blasts.
