[[Charge|Charging]] a Bulborb from behind is the most reliable way to defeat this enemy in ''Pikmin 3''. As few as 20 [[Red Pikmin]] can be enough to defeat the enemy before it has the chance to eat any, though this will not always work. If approaching the enemy from the front, throwing Pikmin directly at its eyes is an effective strategy, as this will cause the Bulborb to spend a couple of seconds flinching before it can attack again. If the Bulborb shakes Pikmin off, make sure to whistle them before they are eaten. You can also escape from a Bulborb by [[hiding]] under a tall plant. | [[Charge|Charging]] a Bulborb from behind is the most reliable way to defeat this enemy in ''Pikmin 3''.

===''Pikmin 4''=== | |||
Unlike Pikmin 3, the Bulborb in Pikmin 4 no longer flinches when Pikmin are thrown directly at it's eyes, the strategy becomes similar to Pikmin 2's Bulborbs. | |||
If the Bulborb is sleeping, it is wiser to hop on [[Oatchi]]'s back in order to use the Oatchi Rush ability combined with a squad of at least 30 Pikmin ; even with no upgrades, Oatchi Rush will launch Pikmins forward when Oatchi hits an opponent, making this a very good tactic against a sleeping Bulborb from behind. | |||
If you have an upgraded Oatchi with Mega Chomp and Stun, you can also take down a Bulborb with only [[Oatchi]] (with no upgrades, it is also possible, but more risky). | |||
If the Bulborb is currently awake and chasing you, it's better to let it sleep again to try again. | |||
If you have no way of escaping it, you should circle around the bulborb and throw Pikmins on it's back, and call them before they get shaken off, as the Bulborb will instantly start eating any Pikmin shaken off by it. | |||
Even with a squad of less than 10 pikmin, the tactic stated above should work if pulled successfully, albeit risky. | |||
As a side note, you could also be [[hiding]] under a tall plant, or in some [[Cave]]s with void, make it fall off. | |||
