In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be detonated by attacking them. They are also produced by [[Careening Dirigibug]]s. [[Volatile Dweevil]]s carry bomb-rocks on their backs, presumably for protection, even though they themselves are killed in the blast. One should ''never'' [[throw]] [[Purple Pikmin]] onto a bomb-rock, as that can cause near-instant detonation, which will likely kill the Pikmin. Bomb-rocks can even be [[Ultra-Bitter Spray|petrified]], so one should do that if in peril, but they will not release [[nectar]] or [[spray]] like many beasts do if destroyed in that state.

[[Emperor Bulblax]]es can be tricked into eating bomb-rocks. In ''Pikmin'', if one makes a Yellow Pikmin drop a bomb-rock just as the creature is preparing its tongue, it'll swallow it and take some damage, as well as being temporarily stunned. If the explosion occurs when the tongue touches the bomb-rock, it'll stun the Emperor even further. In ''Pikmin 2'', the same strategy can be used, although it is harder because of the Pikmin being unable to carry bomb-rocks themselves. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', other enemies can be tricked into eating bomb-rocks, such as the [[Peckish Aristocrab]].
