Red Bulborbs are among the most well-known enemies in the Pikmin games and are often just as much a staple for the games as Pikmin themselves. They were originally known as Spotty Bulborbs until various other subspecies, all with spots, were discovered in Pikmin 2.
Most have a very slow reaction time when attacked. If rushed 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 mouths are large enough to be able to gobble up as many as five Pikmin with one bite, so attack from the behind for best results.
Bulborbs in general are surprisingly apathetic creatures and won't arise from their sleep even if one of their own is under attack. That being said, however, Dwarf Bulborbs in Pikmin 1 will let out a screech when agitated, awaking any nearby Bulborbs. This does not happen in Pikmin 2.

How to Kill
Pikmin
Swarm it with a large group of 50 or so Pikmin, preferably reds for their high attack power, 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. Continuously 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.
