Jumbo Bulborbs will either patrol an area or hide within vegetation and wait to ambush nearby prey. Like most Bulborbs, they have a defined territory, and will disengage a chase to return to it if it is far away enough. Due to their size, they are not particularly good at hiding - in fact, it is usually quite obvious, as their eye stalks and parts of their snout can be seen poking out from the foliage. | Jumbo Bulborbs will either patrol an area or hide within vegetation and wait to ambush nearby prey.

If it manages to catch any Pikmin, up to a max of 15 per attack, it will stand up and eat them; otherwise, it will trip and then try again. If there are a lot of Pikmin attacking it at once, it will shake them off and then immediately lunge 3 times. | ||

Jumbo Bulborbs that are actively wandering should be treated similarly to [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, although note that they have a noticeably higher amount of health compared to them. | Jumbo Bulborbs that are actively wandering should be treated similarly to [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, although note that they have a noticeably higher amount of health compared to them. | ||
Rushing into its back with a large squad of Pikmin on [[Oatchi]] can be a very effective opener, should one be approached undetected. It is especially easy to sneak up behind one if it is hiding, as they don't have particularly good spatial awareness. If Oatchi's Rush has been sufficiently upgraded to stun the Jumbo Bulborb, it is entirely possible, with a sufficiently large Pikmin army, to kill it before it can react. | |||
If detected, or in a particularly bad position, locking onto | If detected, or in a particularly bad position, locking onto it's back and attempting to circle behind it while throwing Pikmin is another good, if risky, strategy. [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] Pikmin are useful due to their higher attack power. Note that, when it shakes Pikmin off, that it tends to buck them directly in front of it - perfectly positioned to be grabbed by its lunge, which it often immediately retaliates with. To avoid this fate, you could use [[Rock Pikmin]]. Due to the fact that they never latch on at all, this creature's flailing is practically useless against an army of them, making the Jumbo Bulborb's lengthy attack the perfect opening for an assault from Rock Pikmin, where other types would simply bounce off. | ||
If your army is on the small side, lacking the power to justify a frontal assault or to instantly kill it with an ambush, kiting its attack | If your army is on the small side, lacking the power to justify a frontal assault or to instantly kill it with an ambush, kiting its attack - that is, prompting it to lunge and dodging the attack - will offer an opportunity to counter with Oatchi's Rush. | ||

If one wishes to conserve resources and Pikmin lives, [[Oatchi]] can be sent to attack the Jumbo Bulborb. If he has been sufficiently upgraded, it is entirely possible for him to take it down on his own. Ensure Oatchi is upgraded with his {{oatchi|Air Armor++}}, {{oatchi|Tuff Stuff++}}, and has a fully trained [[Oatchi#Big_Chomp|Big Chomp]], or he will likely be knocked out by the Bulborb's powerful attacks. | If one wishes to conserve resources and Pikmin lives, [[Oatchi]] can be sent to attack the Jumbo Bulborb.
