The '''Jumbo Bulborb''' ({{j|ジャンボチャッピー|Janbo Chappī|Jumbo Chappy}}) is a massive [[enemy]] found in {{p4}}.
'''Jumbo Bulborbs''' ({{j|ジャンボチャッピー|Janbo Chappī|Jumbo Chappy}}) are massive [[enemy|enemies]] found in {{p4}}.


As their name implies, they are gigantic Bulborbs, dwarfing all other Bulborb species and rivalling the [[Emperor Bulblax]] in terms of sheer size. Outside of the size difference, they appear identical to normal [[Bulborb]]s. Jumbo Bulborbs can be found belowground and during [[night expedition|night expeditions]].

Outside of the size difference, they appear identical to normal [[Bulborb]]s. Jumbo Bulborbs can be found below ground and during [[night expedition]]s.


Unlike most Bulborbs, they are never found sleeping. Instead, they are usually found actively wandering their territory in search of prey, similar to [[Spotty Bulbear]]s. Additionally, they sometimes can be found hiding in foliage, waiting to ambush passing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

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.

Once they notice prey, they become aggressive and will run towards nearby Pikmin, Leaders, and Oatchi, lunging at them three times with a scream. If it manages to catch any Pikmin, up to a max of 25 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 5 times.

Line 43: Line 42:
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 its back and attempting to circle behind it while throwing Pikmin is another good, if risky, strategy. [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]], and [[Rock Pikmin]] are weakly advised due to their lower 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.
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 big side, fake-lacking the power to justify a frontal assault or to do ten hits to 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 mega rush level 2
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.

[[Punch]]ing a Jumbo Bulborb to death is highly impractical, both due to the weak power of the punch, and its high health. Should one wish to take one on without risking Pikmin lives, sending Oatchi to do the task is recommended. If he has been sufficiently upgraded, it is entirely possible for him to take out a Jumbo Bulborb on his own. [[Gear#Air_Armor.2B.2B_.28Oatchi.29|Air Armor++]], [[Gear#Tuff_Stuff.2B.2B_.28Oatchi.29|Tuff Stuff++]], and a fully upgraded [[Oatchi#Big_Chomp|Big Chomp]] are highly recommended if this approach is chosen.

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.

*An abnormally large Bulborb is also present as a [[boss]] in {{hp}}, with similar behavior of hiding in foliage and charging at Pikmin. However, it is unclear if it has the same condition as the Jumbo Bulborb.
