Red Bulborbs are the most famous enemy in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, and often symbolize the game. They were originally known as Spotty Bulborbs in Pikmin 1 however Olimar's discovery of other spotty species of different colors made him change the name. They are nocturnal creatures, thus they sleep for most of the day.
Most have a very slow reaction time when attacked. If attacked by a large enough force, they can be overcome before they can counterattack. It is also true that throwing numerous Purple Pikmin will work exceedingly well in defeating it without fail. Their mouth is large enough to fit several pikmin in it, so attack from the behind for best results. Red bulborbs are very apathetic. If one is attacked, the other ones won't even wake up; not even a signal is given out.

How to Kill
Pikmin
Swarm it with a large group of Pikmin, preferrably reds, and it'll die. If you have a smaller group with you, repeatedly throw Pikmin onto the Bulborb's back and retreat if it starts charging at you. When it goes back to sleep, toss more Pikmin on its back. Note that a glitch exists when the Bulborb moves in to attack that renders it invincible. Unless it's at very low health, expect some Pikmin to be devoured. With a large enough Pikmin group this shouldn't be a problem, though. If you wish to use bomb-rocks against it, the Bulborb will die with two blasts.
Pikmin 2
Much easier to kill here than in Pikmin. Continously toss Pikmin onto its back and continue tossing if it shakes them off. A few purple Pikmin can cause serious damage, especially if they stun the Bulborb.
